Consort Road, Peckham

£450,000

Set across the second and third floors of an attractive low-rise brick-built block, this two-bedroom apartment has been thoughtfully reimagined, with an architectural treatment that elevates its ex-local authority origins.

A bright east/west orientation runs through the home, with full double-glazing throughout and two west-facing balconies drawing in the afternoon light.

Residents benefit from a free estate parking permit, allowing them to park anywhere on the estate.

Deck access leads to a private front door, opening into a generous hallway finished in polished terrazzo tiling.

The open-plan kitchen, reception and dining space stretches over 23 feet by nearly 11, cleverly arranged to create distinct zones while maintaining a seamless flow.

Engineered oak runs underfoot and crisp white walls carry through the apartment, while two trios of windows bookend the room - one drawing in the early light over the kitchen, the other framing the reception end. A double-glazed door opens onto the first of the two balconies: a notably private spot, well-suited to a bistro table and chairs.

The U-shaped kitchen features modern fitted cabinetry paired with sleek, Dekton counters, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, offering a clean, contemporary finish without compromising on practicality.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits to the rear of the plan, running the full 16-foot width of the apartment and offers a quiet outlook. It opens onto the second balcony through another double-glazed door. The second double bedroom, positioned to the front, measures 13 feet by just over 8 and currently serves as an office.

The bathroom is a quietly luxurious moment in the home, accessed via a pocket door and finished with beautiful terrazzo tiling, underfloor heating, concealed plumbing and a freestanding tub. Monochrome fittings add definition throughout, and a separate spray attachment complements the over-bath shower.

Pleasingly close to Rye Lane and Bellenden Road, with Nunhead, East Dulwich and Camberwell all within easy reach, the apartment sits eight minutes walk from both Peckham Rye and Queens Road Peckham stations - each offering regular rail services to Victoria, London Bridge, Farringdon and St. Pancras, while Windrush line services connect you to Hackney or Clapham Junction in 20 minutes.

The surrounding neighbourhood is rich with independent food, drink, coffee spots, and a wealth of wellness options. Climbing, powerlifting, CrossFit, pilates, yoga and sauna are all available within 4 minutes walk of the flat, and a leading local running club meets just around the corner.

Green spaces are also plentiful, with Peckham Rye Park, Nunhead Cemetery, Telegraph Hill and Dulwich Park all close by.

The estate benefits from an active residents' association that fosters a strong sense of community throughout the year, with a summer party, open-air film night and an annual Christmas market all forming part of the calendar. A mix of young families and professionals call the estate home, contributing to its warm and welcoming atmosphere.
