Choumert Grove, Peckham Rye

£975,000

There is nothing average about this Holly Grove Conservation Area home. Three floors and 1150 square feet deliver three bedrooms, a vast reception room, a smart eat-in kitchen, and a double-height bathroom.

Despite its immaculate period-appearance, your new brick-built home was built in 2003. A low-maintenance modern-build property therefore, with the proportions and charm of its Victorian counterparts. More good news is that the property is being sold without a chain.

You are in an end of terrace position on Choumert Grove, winning-at-life close to Peckham Rye Station (Zone 2) and Bellenden Road. The house doesn't have a rear garden so don’t expect to find one – however there is a lovely south-west facing front garden you can happily sit out in and watch the world go by, and you are within easy walking distance of Warwick Gardens and Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres.

Open your front door and a neat and bright kitchen rests to your left, with a practical tiled floor, modern fitted units paired with classy black granite counters, recessed lighting, custom-made shutters (to lower panes), and space for your table and chairs.

Solid oak floors run from the hall through to the huge reception. At 15 feet by 24 feet you will be most impressed! As will the guests you simply must entertain here (and you will be popular hosts being so close to the station!). The rear part of the reception room has a glazed roof which is a brilliant touch.

Upstairs, you will find two carefully-considered bedrooms (of over 15 feet by 9, and over 8 feet by over 7), and the property’s bathroom, which has a white suite, twin basins, and a shower over the bath.

Up again to the master bedroom. This is 15 feet long, with lots of windows, and pretty churchy views.

Peckham Rye Station is a mere three minute walk for regular and Windrush line services. You are also so close to buzzing Bellenden Road; with its cafes, pubs and independent shops. Review book store, The Sourcing Table, Flock & Herd butchery, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Ganapati are a handful of our faves.

The Montpelier and The Victoria Inn (with Roa mural) are well-liked local watering holes. On Blenheim Grove we like Levan, Hausu, and oldie but goodie Il Giardino (spot it in that lovely recent movie: Rye Lane).

Rye Lane is a short walk for Peckham Plex cinema, The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex and Peckham Levels. In the summer months, rooftop drinks are all the rage at Frank’s and atop The Bussey (where you’ll also find rooftop movies). East Dulwich’s Lordship Lane, Dulwich Village and Camberwell are all close for more options.

Your most local schools include The Belham and Bellenden primaries, and The Villa Nursery and Pre-Prep. is well-liked on nearby Lyndhurst Grove (walk eight minutes).
