Set on the lower ground of a handsome Regency terrace, this Grade II listed two-bedroom apartment combines robust period character with practical outdoor space. Original features — sash windows, exposed brick, reclaimed timber worktops and a cast-iron wood-burning stove — give the flat a warm, authentic feel while generous room sizes make it comfortable for everyday family life. A private paved patio leads to a leafy, private garden offering real al fresco potential. Off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a useful vault/coal-bunker storage for bikes and tools.
The accommodation works well as a family home: a master bedroom with ensuite, a second double bedroom, a separate reception and a dining-sized kitchen with integrated appliances. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the property sits within a solid-brick mid-terrace built c.1900–1929. The long lease (170 years remaining), modest service charge and low ground rent help running costs, and the building’s central SE5 location places Denmark Hill station, local schools and green spaces within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the material constraints as well as the positives. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate works and planning consents. The walls are original solid brick with no assumed insulation, which may limit energy efficiency without specialist listed-property solutions. The flat’s lower-ground position gives direct garden access but means the front patio and principal rooms are below street level.
For families seeking a characterful, spacious home with private outdoor space in a highly regarded Camberwell crescent, this apartment offers an attractive mix of historic detail and practical living. It will suit buyers who appreciate period authenticity and are comfortable managing the practicalities of a listed, solid-wall property.
