7 Albany Mews, Albany Road

The living room is on the first floor, with three windows onto the mews, exposed timber beams under a pitched ceiling and floorboards the sun lies across. A stair from that room goes up to a roof terrace of about 18 by 12 feet, laid with turf, and the house is freehold, 1,090 square feet, with a parking space at the front.

The listing calls it a Victorian mews house, in a cul-de-sac beside Burgess Park in Camberwell. From the terrace the view runs over slate roofs and chimney pots to a line of trees on the horizon, and the brick blocks beyond.

The ground floor has a tiled hall with a black-spindled stair, a bedroom of about 17 by 12 feet with a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bath, and a second room of about 17 feet behind the front doors, which the listing says are stable doors that still open.
