Best and final offers invited by 3pm, Monday 17th April.

Chain free two double bed, two bath Victorian conversion apartment of 866 square feet - incorporating a smart converted loft. A sunny private garden of over 30 feet accompanies the flat (access is from external metal stairs and path via your back door). Share of Freehold.

Find the pleasing pad on the tree-lined residential stretch of ever-popular Bellenden Road. You're just a 10 minute walk from both Peckham Rye and East Dulwich stations: both are Fare Zone 2.

From the porch space, open the cheery and zingy main door into the recently-decorated hall (this, as the Freehold, is shared with the one flat below).

Through your own front door and it’s up the stairs immediately. Open the door straight ahead here at half-landing level for your large kitchen/dining room, which stretches over 19 feet. In the dining area, enjoy stripped floor boards and a period fireplace. The kitchen has a tiled floor, and the units are a modern glossy type, teamed with wooden worktops and stainless steel cupboard handles.

Beyond the kitchen area is a little lobby - with your back door to the external stairs down to the garden (yours is the second section), and the door to the first bathroom with white suite.

Up a few stairs to the main landing and you’ll find a first double bedroom to your left - it’s over 11 feet by 10 feet, with built-in wardrobes, a pale carpet, and a period fireplace.

Across the front of the house is the large twin-sash-windowed reception room, of over 15 feet by over 11 feet. Another period fireplace graces this room, and you’ve got a pale carpet and some alcove shelving too.

The second floor hosts your second double bedroom (with recessed lighting and built-in triple wardrobe), and a slick modern en suite bathroom with over-bath shower. Both these rooms have access to generous eaves storage, for suitcases and such.

Set between two Fare Zone 2 stations, you are also well placed for bus travel. Independent shopping is easy - on Bellenden Road (we like Flock & Herd, The General Store, Gather and Review), Grove Vale (get your loaves and coffees at Blackbird Bakery), and East Dulwich’s Lordship Lane (SMBS Foods, William Rose, Mons, Moxon’s and The Cheese Block) - where you'll also find a Picturehouse cinema.

Top eateries in your immediate locale include Artusi, The Begging Bowl, Ganapati, Made Of Dough, Miss Tapas, Levan, Forza Wine, The Coal Rooms (and don’t miss The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex and Peckham Levels, all just off Rye Lane). Good neighbourhood pubs include The Victoria Inn, The Montpelier and The Gowlett. And The Sourcing Table is a new popular wine bar/shop.

For more options, Camberwell (don't miss The Camberwell Arms here), Herne Hill, Brixton and Dulwich Village are all easily reached.

Arty adventures? South London Gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery and Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art are all close.

Local green spaces include Warwick Gardens, Lettsom Gardens, Goose Green, Peckham Rye Park and Common and Ruskin Park. The Peckham Coal Line - an exciting crowdfunded linear park - will hopefully soon be added to that list.
