Calais Street, Camberwell, SE5

Classic and substantial park-facing four bedroom house with a lawned garden of over 30 feet. Find it within Minet Conservation Area - which is home to handsome and high quality Victorian and Edwardian housing. The central focus of the enviable residential area is Myatt's Fields Park: a delightful 14 acre Victorian-era one (1889).

The property measures in at 1664 square feet (excluding the loft and cellar areas) and has a 'C' EPC rating.

A walled and gated front garden sets you back from the pavement. In your front door snd a high-ceilinged hall is a warm welcome.

First on your right is your big and bright front reception room, of over 15 feet by over 13 feet, with coving, picture rail, neutral walls, pale carpet, and sash windows.

Folding doors connect you to (or divide you from) the eat-in kitchen, which is over 13 feet by over 11 feet, with a pretty period feature fireplace. Fitted kitchen units here are dated but function really well.

Moving through the property, next to your right is a very generous (plumbed) utility/boiler room, of over 13 feet by over 8 feet, with a side door out to the side-return area of the garden.

At the rear of the house, onto the garden, is your second large reception room (works well as a sitting or dining room), of over 13 feet by nearly 12 feet.

The first floor hosts all of your bedrooms: these are over 11 feet by over 11 feet, over 8 feet by over 7 feet, over 13 feet by over 11 feet, and over 17 feet by over 15 feet. Period feature fireplaces impress in each room. Your principal front bedroom has timber-framed sash windows with wonderful winning-at-life views over the extensive parkland and mature trees opposite you.

A neat modern bathroom with separate w.c. next door completes your tour.

This is a particularly lovely and leafy residential spot. You are tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet extremely well-placed for connectivity to central London. And being directly opposite Myatt's Fields Park, you will enjoy front-row open views from which to follow the seasons.

Myatt's Fields Park is a genuine London hidden gem with Green Flag status, bandstand, tennis courts and impressive floral displays, plus weekly Farmers' Market; there is another of those on Camberwell Green (where you will find Camberwell Library as well).

You are also happily close to Camberwell's ever-arty town centre with its effortlessly cool and growing scene of eateries and drinkeries. We like Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Theo's, Forza Win, Grove House Tavern, Hermits Cave, The Crooked Well and The Camberwell Arms in particular. Newcomer Palacsinta looks great as well, by Camberwell Green.

There are also lots of cute cafes (Lumberjack and Love Walk Cafe are popular, and you have The Little Cat Cafe in the park of course) among handy high street shops, banks, and supermarkets. Luxury groceries can be found at Gladwell's.

Your most local pub (serving small plates) is a good one under fairly new and very enthusiastic management: The Bear.

Coldharbour Lane (up to Brixton) is also close for more options: check out Three Eight Four for happy hour cocktails and the many foodie options at Brixton Village (street food bliss).

Ruskin Park is close, too, and the centres of Brixton, Herne HIll and Peckham are all easily reached via bus, foot or cycle.

Transport? Loughborough Junction is a short stroll for Thameslink trains. You can also walk to Oval, Brixton, Denmark Hill and Vauxhall stations, or jump on one of the many buses from Camberwell New Road or Coldharbour Lane - Oval tube is just 10 minutes away, taking you into The City or West End in a further 10 minutes.
