Beautiful sensitively renovated one bedroom garden flat of 563 square feet (excluding the useful cellar which is demised to the property), with a very long lease, on the tree-lined residential stretch of Bellenden Road.

You are just a five minute walk from East Dulwich station, and an 11 minute one from Peckham Rye Station (both are Fare Zone 2).

You share a front door and smart shared hall. Your own front door is on your left. You open directly into the lovely large reception room of over 14 feet by over 11 feet, with a big bay window (custom-made shutters impressing here) and stripped floors underfoot.

Next door is your smart kitchen. High ceilings continue to please. Modern wall and base units plus open shelving are found here, as well as a cute bar space for counter-style eating (over a fetching feature fireplace). Timber-framed French doors open out onto your fabulous garden.

Next along the hall is your delightful bathroom with frosted bay window and traditional-style sanitary ware and fittings, plus brick-style tiling and a heated towel rail.

At the end of the hall is your double bedroom of over 13 feet by over 10 feet, with cool built-in birch ply closets and shelving, a vertical radiator, and a double-glazed window to garden vistas.

The garden is tastefully-landscaped with a central deck space and mature and well-stocked beds, plus a watering system. Other gardens surround yours so it is a real retreat.

Set between two Fare Zone 2 stations, you are also well-served by buses. Independent shopping is a piece of cake, on Bellenden Road (here we like Flock & Herd, The General Store, The Sourcing Table 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.

For more options, Camberwell, 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.
