Bushey Hill Road, London, SE5 8, SE5 8QF

Dating back to around 1870, this distinctive first-floor flat occupies the upper floor of a handsome semi-detached Victorian property on Bushey Hill Road, SE5.

Wonderfully light and spacious, the flat has an individual, artistic feel, with well-proportioned rooms, a leafy outlook and a substantial loft space previously used as a painting studio.

The property is accessed via the shared entrance hallway, where high ceilings and original cornicing offer an introduction to the building's Victorian character.

At the front of the house, a generous, light-filled sitting room provides an inviting place to relax, alongside a well-proportioned double bedroom.

The sitting room could alternatively be used as a second bedroom, allowing the flat to function as a two-bedroom home.

To the rear, a spacious kitchen-diner enjoys a leafy outlook over the garden and offers plenty of storage, with an adjacent bathroom completing the main accommodation.

Above, there is a substantial loft room which is particularly bright and has previously served as a painting studio.

It provides an appealing setting for creative pursuits or a dedicated workspace at home, with further potential to convert subject to the necessary consents.

With its generous proportions, artistic character and versatile layout, this is an individual home with plenty of appeal.

The combination of natural light, garden views and an inspiring studio space makes it a distinctive offering in this part of SE5.

Bushey Hill Road is ideally situated in the heart of Camberwell, a well-established South London neighbourhood known for its independent cafés, restaurants and creative community.

Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations offer National Rail and London Overground services, while frequent bus routes provide connections across South London and into central London, with Underground services accessible via nearby stations such as Oval.

Peckham is considered one of the coolest areas of South-East London, home to a vibrant creative community, a buzz of energy and an excellent choice of places to eat and drink and experience some culture.

Our favourites include Frank’s Café (a rooftop bar with panoramic views, Campari cocktails and spectacular sunsets) Artusi (for it’s delicious and seasonal Italian food) and Ganapati (a laid back, authentic South Indian restaurant), the Bussey Building for multiple cultural venues and outlets - and who could forget Peckham’s local, affordable independent cinema, the Peckhamplex!

East Dulwich is also an easy walk from Bushey Hill Road. Considered one of London’s best neighbourhoods.

You are spoilt for choice when it comes to excellent pubs, independent shops, green spaces, exercise studios and cultural hubs.

Some of our favourites include Kokum Indian restaurant (new on the field, but a strong rival to Dishoom any day of the week), Chacarero Empanada House (Empanadas so good an Argentinian friend will buy them out of stock when she visits!), Kix Bar (for excellent cocktails), Picturehouse Cinema and local food shops including Moxons Fishmongers, Mons Cheesemongers and Terroirs wine shop.
