Architecturally-treated two double bedroom Victorian end of terrace house with single garage, within Peckham’s Holly Grove Conservation Area.

Its location is a one-way section of ever-popular Bellenden Road, close to Holly Grove's shrubbery. A neat east-facing ‘city’ garden accompanies the property.

Walk just four minutes to Peckham Rye Station, for regular and Overground services. The shopping and social bit of Bellenden Road is a two minute walk.

Both front and rear gardens are professionally designed and landscaped. Open into a little lobby then into your large and impressive opened-up reception room, of over 22 feet by over 14 feet. Bespoke storage features in three alcoves (you have under-stair storage too), keeping matters tidy. As throughout, lighting is recessed. A large west-facing traditional sash window sits to the front of the house, while a slim-profile double-glazed door rests beyond your natural dining area.

A sleek kitchen - with pocket door - completes the ground floor tour (handle-free units and stainless-steel counters are welcome and timeless decisions here), and delivers you out to the small but perfectly formed rear garden which faces east - enjoy morning sun with your tea and toast.

Up the stairs and a generous skylit shower room (with roofline ceiling) is accessed from the half-landing, with large format tiling and cork flooring. There is also dedicated plumbed laundry space in big to-the-ceiling cupboards. Your sanitary ware and fittings are contemporary in style. Handy storage for toiletries is in slick mirrored cabinets above the sink.

From the main landing, find your second bedroom on your left. It is over 11 feet by over 9 feet, with sash window and original feature fireplace. Smart sisal flooring continues in here.

Taking the width of the house to the front is your twin-sashed main bedroom - of over 14 feet by over 11 feet. Generous custom-made closets pleasingly take one entire wall.

Green space? Warwick Gardens is really close, and Peckham Rye Park and Common is a comfortable stroll up bustling Rye Lane, in the direction of East Dulwich. Goose Green, Lettsom Gardens and Ruskin Parks are also easy to walk to.
