Stylish 1960's Four Bedroom Classic With Generous Garden in Mature Leafy Setting - CHAIN FREE.

This impressive home, spread over three magnificent floors remains sensitive to its 1960s heritage. Enjoying abundant Douglas Fir fixtures and fittings, including a most wonderful original staircase, the property has married perfectly traditional and contemporary design. The ground floor has been expertly designed by award winning architect Marcus Lee. Accommodation comprises a splendid kitchen/diner that spans the full foot print of the house, a further upper reception with access to a sunny southwesterly balcony, four lovely bright bedrooms, bathroom and wc. There's tonnes of bespoke storage and the rear garden (with direct side access) boasts abundant leafiness. The communal grounds are pleasant and inviting. Guest parking is offered and a central green space with seating and mature flora invites a convivial vibe. The Hamlet is a landmark 1960's development which boasts a peaceful, leafy yet super convenient location. The houses are positioned around a private, communal central garden tucked away off Champion Hill within an impressively short distance to Denmark Hill station.

Approaching the property you're greeted by a vibrant mature Mimosa tree that supplies a splash of yellow. Entering directly into the expansive kitchen/diner you find delightful poured concrete flooring running the full impressive depth of the space. Underfloor heating will keep you toasty all year round. A Douglas Fir kitchen island runs confidently on your left, topped in steel. There's a three ring Italian 'Barazza' hob, oven, integrated dishwasher, stainless steel sink and an integrated fridge/freezer. You'll find a handy wc seamlessly adjoining the living space with a wall-hung loo and oval hand basin. A nifty laundry cupboard proceeds this. The wood burner sits over by the full-width Schüco sliding glass doors which frame the garden beautifully. Under the leafy canopy of a mature Beech tree, a decked patio leads upward to a raised oak sleeper terrace with well stocked beds on either side. Shrubs and plants include Acer, fragrant Honeysuckle and some Tetrapanax.

The magical Douglas Fir staircase curves politely upward to find a front-facing reception facing over the abundant lively foliage of the Mimosa tree. Original glass doors open to a neat balcony that grabs the morning sun. Original thin-slat wooden floors and another wood burner set the tone nicely. The first of your large double bedrooms spreads to full width at the rear of this floor. It’s carpeted and airy and has a funky chrome floor to ceiling flue that supplies cosiness.

A further ascent to the second floor landing reveals a tasteful bright space with neutral décor, original floors and skylights. There’s a nicely sized double bedroom fronting the street with Sisal flooring, recessed storage cupboard and full width windows. A smaller double bedroom shares this aspect with more bespoke storage. Bedroom four takes the rear spot and enjoys glorious views over the Beech tree, with a vista of the communal grounds behind – wonderful to throw the curtains open to!
