Designed by the renowned architects Dow Jones, this freehold house in Camberwell offers flexible living accommodation over three floors. Originally built in the 1970s as a gatehouse to an industrial estate, it was redesigned and extended in 2003.

The ground floor contains an entrance hall, separate kitchen, and a reception / dining room that leads to a 26ft patio garden. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, and the top floor has a reception room with sliding doors to a private roof terrace. This top room could be used as an extra bedroom or a studio depending on the requirements of the purchaser.

This detached house sits on the end of a terrace of bay-fronted Victorian properties. Its most notable architectural feature is its zinc-clad roof extension, and it featured in Grand Designs and Blueprint magazines shortly after it was completed.

Valmar Road is situated approximately ten minutes walking distance from the Overground station at Denmark Hill, offering direct trains to Victoria, Blackfriars and St Pancras International. Camberwell, an area currently under great regeneration, is also uncommonly well served by at least ten bus routes. There are a number of gastro pubs, restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance of the house, and green space can be found at Ruskin Park and Myatt’s Fields. The latter has recently been the subject of substantial investment, with a new children’s playground and other facilities installed. Kings College Hospital is within easy reach, and there are several excellent state and public schools in the area.
