Elegant Five Bedroom Victorian Home Over Four Floors - CHAIN FREE

Sitting over four amazing floors, this spectacular five bedroom period palace boasts a sympathetic and stylish finish throughout. There's a healthy sprinkling of original charm and some wonderful additions - namely a fantastic third floor en-suite loft extension from whence you can enjoy city views. The accommodation comprises two large reception rooms, substantial kitchen/diner, five gorgeous bedrooms (two en suite), another large family bathroom, and two handy wcs. Transport is easy as pie with Denmark Hill a mere 7 minute ramble. From here you can enjoy swift regular services to Victoria, Elephant and Castle, Blackfriars, Shoreditch and Clapham. Canada Water offers fantastic Jubilee Line connections too! The popular Villa pre-prep and nursery is down the road and the Dulwich Foundation schools are a 12-minute drive away. Shops, restaurants and green spaces in East Dulwich, Camberwell and Peckham are all nearby too.

The exterior is handsome and well maintained. The recessed portico enjoys original tiling on either side of the original door. Your inner hall greets with arched cornice, high ceilings and tasteful paint shades up to dado rail level. The double reception has a magnificent original feature fireplace, original decorative cornicing and some original shutters on the rear-facing sash window. A wide bay window fronts the street and the space is separated centrally by wide doors for maximum versatility.

Back in the hall you descend a half-flight to find a neat wc preceding the overtly generous kitchen/diner which stretches over eight metres. Contemporary wood-effect flooring runs the full length. There's plenty of cabinet and counter space and the appliances include a five ring gas hob, oven and dishwasher. Tall school-house radiators sit either side of glass French doors that lead you to your mature, leafy garden. Heading upward, via that original carpeted staircase with beautiful curling hardwood banister, you meet a large family bathroom on the first return. Pretty aqua mosaic tiling compliments the wooden flooring. The suite includes a wash hand basin, loo, bath and double walk-in shower. A further wc completes this level. The first floor delivers a superbly spacious front facing double bedroom. Currently laid out as a third reception it enjoys an original feature fireplace, simple coving and two front aspect sash windows with secondary glazing. Bedroom two, another lovely double, faces rear and has integrated shelving and storage.

Upward to the second floor you find another impressive double bedroom of noticeable length. The space benefits from an original feature mantel and adjoining en-suite bathroom that peers over the garden. A study/single room shares the front aspect. Last but certainly not least comes the top floor loft extension which comprises a huge, bright double bedroom with Juliet balcony that supplies sweeping views over St Giles's steeple and the tip of the Shard. The adjoining en suite has a modern finish and walk-in shower.

Maude Road is a real community, with friendly, generous neighbours and occasional street parties. You're just a few metres from Lucas Gardens, a secluded park with kids' playground, dog park, mature trees and ornamental gardens, and the small parade of shops around the corner on Vestry Road. There's a well-stocked grocery, a pharmacy and a fantastic Kurdish café to add to the communal atmosphere. And with Warwick Gardens, Ruskin Park, Burgess Park and Peckham Rye all within a short walk, there's plenty more green space nearby. Both Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations (zone 2) are inside a 10 minute walk for services to London Bridge and Victoria and a whole variety of buses run into town along Peckham Road, just five minutes away. The London Overground will whisk you from Clapham Junction, through Queens Road and up to Shoreditch, Hoxton and Islington. Camberwell and its many bars and restaurants are but a short ramble - we love the Hermit's Cave, The Camberwell Arms and the Sun of Camberwell. Bellenden Village supplies the fantastic 'Victoria Inn' and 'Ganapati'.
