Beautiful Grade II Listed Four Bedroom Georgian Home on Best Street - CHAIN FREE.

Located in the heart of Camberwell and extending over four wonderful floors, this four-bedroom Georgian beauty, built circa 1825, supplies a versatile layout with beautifully proportioned rooms and period features. Facing onto arguably the best part of South East London's premier Georgian period row, the property boasts floor-to-ceiling Juliette balconies and a majestic arched window to the front and a plethora of additional original delights inside. The terrace stands out amongst its surroundings with moulded stucco cornices, wonderful amber brick work and rusticated stucco ground floor and basement.

Currently, the accommodation comprises a large double reception, formal dining room, kitchen, ground floor wc, two bathrooms and a large artist’s studio with adjoining room on the high ceilinged first floor. There are two further top floor double bedrooms with an interconnecting bathroom. The rear garden, accessible from the basement and the ground floor, is stocked with mature plants with a patio providing the ideal spot for a sunny al-fresco lunch.

The generous York stone paved front garden invites you up a step from the Grove and onward to the original door which bears its original decorative fanlight. The inner hall is long with high ceiling and an arched cornice that leads to the handsome rear stairwell. To the right you find the double reception which has an aspect to both front and rear. The front-facing arched sash window enjoys original shutters looking out to the beautiful mature trees lining Camberwell Grove. There is a marble feature mantel piece, and hinged double doors connect you to the West facing room with a fine view over the walled garden that bathes in mellow evening sun. The rear of the entrance hall has fitted storage, a w/c and garden access.

On the lower ground floor you find a large front-facing room which is currently used as a formal dining space but could also be used as a bedroom. It has more fitted storage and direct front access via external steps to the front garden that sits above external deep vault storage. The kitchen sits to the rear of the lower ground floor with opposing rows of cabinet and counter space. Double doors open to sweeping steps up to the rear garden paved patio and a pretty well-stocked garden. This floor is completed by a small bathroom.

Back in the entrance hall you can pause to appreciate the fine original staircase with its charmingly curved original hardwood hand rail and original banisters. A rear-facing sash window floods the landing with light as you move up to the first floor piano nobile and enter a most impressive high ceilinged front facing room, currently an art studio (this house has nurtured creativity over recent years with an artist and a musician inspired to create their art there), which commands lovely views over the Grove through a duo of floor-to-ceiling windows with shutters and Juliette balconies. Boasting another feature mantel piece in marble, the space would make a fine drawing room or indeed a most-coveted master bedroom. An additional room adjoins to the rear, divided by period shutters for maximum flexibility.

Heading to the upper landing you find another raised sash window illuminating the way to the top floor front-facing bedroom with lofty views across the stunning tree-top streetscape. There's a period feature fireplace, two fitted storage points and integrated wall lights. The rear double bedroom boasts another feature fireplace. The two top floor rooms each have access to a 'Jack & Gill' bathroom with both shower and bath and a vaulted ceiling with skylight.
