Duplex for sale in John Ruskin Street, Camberwell SE5

Cash buyers only

Big and bright three bedroom sixth floor ex-la apartment of 986 square feet, with double-glazing, a well-considered layout (incorporating built-in storage), and a private balcony off the large reception room. The building is served by a lift.

Permit-parking for residents is available locally. Walk just 14 minutes to Oval Station, or pick up a bus there or beyond, on Camberwell New Road.

Once in, take a few stairs and first on your right is a huge living room of over 14 feet each way. Windows take the most part the external wall and these face sunny south-east. Open out onto a small but welcome outside space - a neat balcony.

The independent kitchen is accessed via the reception and the room is a neat, white and modern affair with many smart fitted units (at base and wall level), paired with wooden worktops.

Down a few more stairs and you have a generous storage cupboard and both bath and shower rooms (with smart white sanitary ware and stainless steel fittings).

Next find your three bedrooms - two doubles either side of a large single bedroom.

Northern line Underground services are easily accessed from this location: Walk 14 minutes for Oval tube.

Central Camberwell is a similar distance by foot for Camberwell Green’s Farmers’ Market (Saturdays, from 10am), and shops, supermarkets, pubs, bars and restaurants. We like The Camberwell Arms, Silk Road, Nandine, Forza Win, Little Cellars and Theo’s especially.

In the Oval area, we like Fentiman Arms and The Derby.

Keeping fit? Big Burgess Park is a brilliant spot and the weekly Parkrun here is very popular (9am on Saturdays). Myatt's Fields and Kennington Parks are close, too.
