Brunswick House is offered to the market for the first time in a
generation and this remarkable detached Victorian house, which
dates from 1871, comes with a separate three bedroom coach house,
beautiful secluded garden with swimming pool and sits on peaceful
corner opposite one of South London‘s best kept secrets, Myatt‘s
Fields Park.
Steeped in local history, Brunswick House sits proudly in The
Minet Conservation Area and is arguably one of the most important
houses to come to the market in Camberwell for many years.
A discreet gated entry to the property leads past the front
garden to the front door. Once you step into the entrance hall the
grand staircase and period detailing are immediately evident. The
ground floor is the real hub of the house, being of grand
proportions, filled with space and light courtesy of superb ceiling
height and large windows. However, it is at once homely, relaxing
and well lived in, with the beautiful kitchen providing dreamy
views towards the park. The living room sits off the kitchen to the
rear of the house, with French doors leading out on to a huge
terrace that spans the width of the house and suddenly you are
transported to another world, as the huge garden swings into view.
There is also a peaceful study room looking out to the garden.
The garden itself is exceptionally large for such a centrally
located private house and along with the shrubberies, trees and
mature lawn features a fabulous outdoor swimming pool, which is now
being prepped for the Summer months ahead. There is also a useful
workshop.
The lower ground floor currently consists of two very large
double bedrooms and a single room plus two bathrooms. It is also
has its own side access, which could be of interest to those
looking for a teenager‘s hangout or staff flat within the main
house. The front room would make an excellent games room or cinema
room.
The beautiful staircase sweeps you up to the first floor where
three bedrooms, a study and bathroom await you, with the principal
bedroom having an en suite bathroom and stunning views towards the
park. There is scope here to create a very substantial and self
indulgent principal bedroom suite, if that is a requirement.
The second top floor has an additional three double bedrooms and
family bathroom.
Brunswick House also comes with The Coach House, an attached and
sizeable three bedroom freehold house, with off street parking.
Currently rented out, The Coach House could continue as useful
rental investment property, or could offer a number of potential
uses to those who are perhaps looking for a creative home studio
space, be it an artist, gallery owner or collector. It would make a
fantastic home recording studio, or house a small classic car
collection.
A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire this remarkable
property, in an area of London that has always been home to those
in the media and creative arts world and is now attracting a wide
variety of people for its quiet yet buzzy atmosphere and
independent spirit. Camberwell and Brixton are now gastronomic
destinations in their own right and yet The South Bank, Central
London and The City remain easy to reach from this trendy corner of
South London.
