Camberwell Grove in south east London’s SE5 is often regarded as one of the most beautiful streets in the capital.* Leading south London estate agent, Wooster & Stock, claims that its charming Georgian terraces have played home to former Prime Ministers, actors and models** over the years and now, due to the area’s great value for money, it is more affordable than ever to enjoy the beauty and convenience of this neighbourhood.
Models 1’s agent to the stars, Fraser Belk, says: “In my opinion, Camberwell Grove is one of the most attractive streets in the capital. I moved to Camberwell Grove two years ago after completely falling in love with it. The street is lined with beautiful plane trees and the charming Georgian terraces and listed buildings are well cared for.
“My partner lived nearby when we first met and I was completely awed by the charm of Camberwell Grove but thought that owning a property here would be a completely unrealistic dream. But because property here is such great value for money in comparison to other areas of London, I was able to purchase my flat, provide the TLC it needed to become a stylish and functional home and two years later we couldn’t be happier.
“In fact we are actually hoping to stay here, we just need an extra bedroom which is why I am selling my flat!”
Becky Munday, Head of Sales, Wooster & Stock comments: “Camberwell Grove and Grove Lane are two of the most picturesque residential streets in London, lined with beautiful examples of Georgian architecture. The terraces are often accompanied by luscious gardens and they overlook the plane tree-lined street up towards the hill.
“It is so green and peaceful that it’s often hard to believe that it is located just minutes from central London and although it is such a beloved residential area, property prices have remained relatively affordable, in comparison to other areas north of the river.”***
Fraser, 30, is well known in model circles, having worked with the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whitley and he also appeared as the leading model agent on an episode of Britain’s Next Top Model with Elle Macpherson, Charley Speed, Grace Woodward and Julian Macdonald.
His charming two bedroom garden flat is currently on the market for £499,950 with Wooster & Stock. It features large, light rooms with good ceiling heights, great entertaining space, a refurbished kitchen and bathroom and a private lower ground floor entrance with storage.
There are French doors from one bedroom, which lead onto a gravel patio and the luscious garden which receives plenty of direct sunlight. The property has also been beautifully decorated, with an exciting but period-sympathetic colour scheme including dark slate feature walls in the master bedroom.
Local residents can enjoy the fruits of Camberwell’s eclectic cultural mix, with the Crooked Well, Angels and Gypsys and No. 67, favourite haunts for a meal or Sunday morning coffee. Ruskin Park is nearby which offers shady parkland and tennis courts, while transport is also a breeze with trains from Denmark Hill station journeying to London Victoria in around 15 minutes.**** The forthcoming East London Line extension will also provide residents with direct access to Shoreditch and Canary Wharf.
