Choumert Road, Peckham Rye

£950,000

Architecturally-treated and thoughtfully-renovated two double bedroom Victorian conversion apartment combining traditional craftsmanship, beautiful natural materials, and carefully sourced vintage pieces.

Every single detail has been considered to create a home full of warmth, character and individuality. A well-stocked garden plus roomy detached outbuilding complete the package. Chain free.

The attention to perfection throughout the property is worthy of the highest praise. We love the porcelain light switches (from The Swtch Company), the restored original Victorian ceiling roses, the Little Greene decorative scheme, the gorgeous tiles (Clay & Rock, King's Road and Bert & May, Chelsea).

The location is something to smile about, too: an ever-requested tree-lined Victorian in the main SE15 street, which intersects Bellenden Road. Locally, it is referred to as the Champs-Élysées of Peckham!

Residents enjoy permit-parking (restrictions applying 9-11am; keeping pesky park and ride commuters at bay!). Walk just seven minutes to Peckham Rye Station for Fare Zone 2 trains. You are also very close to Bellenden Road, Rye Lane and Warwick Gardens.

The property takes the ground floor of a bay-fronted Victorian end of terrace house. There is just one flat above you and you share a neat entrance hall. High ceilings impress from the off.

The front garden is demised to the flat. In your own front door and to the front of the property you have the principal bedroom with big bay window. It is over 13 feet by over 11 feet, with an attractive feature fireplace and a slimline column radiator.

Next door is your second double bedroom (of over 10 feet by nearly 10 feet), with double-glazed door onto a cute courtyard. Perfectly-laid solid oak parquet herringbone flooring continues to impress.

Travelling through the hall there is extensive fitted storage to your left. The next stop on the tour is an exquisite shower room with walk-in shower. Furnishing and fittings are pleasingly from C.P. Hart. Then at the foot of the hall, find your main event: an open-plan kitchen/reception of over 15 feet by over 14 feet, with wall-spanning sliding doors.

Your kitchen is a proper show-stopper, with deVOL fixtures and fittings, genuine Rosa Aurora marble worktops (with elegant bullnose edges and a bespoke matching splash-back), and a freestanding range cooker. Pooky lighting further impresses, complemented by vintage lighting and decorative pieces sourced from French brocantes.

Your established garden is professionally-landscaped with fabulous native and tropical planting. This includes mature palm trees, a magnificent giant agapanthus (particularly striking during the summer months), and a Japanese cherry tree - with beautiful spring blossom followed by an abundance of sweet, edible cherries.

Your garden studio/outbuilding is generously-sized, finished with traditional red cedarwood shingles. This is a versatile additional space which is ideal for a home office, creative studio or even occasional guest accommodation.

You are mere steps from independent shop, cafe, bar and restaurant life. Peckham is rather a hot spot for socialising for all ages. On Bellenden Road, we particularly love Ganapati, Artusi, Pizza Nerds, The Sourcing Table and The Begging Bowl. Rye Lane is a short stroll further for high street shops and fruit and veg markets, as well as Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, rooftop bars and other pop-ups.

East Dulwich, Camberwell, Nunhead and Herne Hill are also close for further options.

Peckham Rye Station is close for regular and Windrush line services, and East Dulwich Station is only a tad further (walk 12 minutes). Services to London Bridge and Victoria, Clapham Junction and Canada Water (for Canary Wharf) make the commute or evening or weekend adventures a walk in the park. And if a walk in the park’s what you’re after… local green spaces include Warwick Gardens, Lettsom Gardens, Peckham Rye Park & Common and Ruskin Park.
