Copleston Road, Peckham Rye

£625,000

Smart two double bedroom conversion apartment of over 800 square feet, with a long lease, set over the upper floors of a handsome Victorian semi. The flat is beautifully and neutrally presented. Residents have permit-parking.

The location is a popular, oft-requested tree-lined residential street at the top of Choumert Road, pleasingly placing you within a 10 minute walk of both Peckham Rye and East Dulwich stations (both Fare Zone 2). And you are just five minutes from Bellenden Road.

You enter the building at raised ground floor level. In your front door and take the stairs to the first floor. At the half-landing level you have your first bedroom straight ahead. This is over 14 feet by over 8 feet, with a built-in wardrobe.

From the main landing, on your left is the windowed bathroom - with modern white suite and an over bath shower, neat square tiling (in black and white) and a stainless steel heated towel radiator.

Taking the width of the house to the front, find your large reception room - of over 15 feet by over 11 feet. There is plenty of space for both seating and dining areas. An attractive feature fireplace, twin (double-glazed) sash windows and custom-made alcove cupboards and shelves plus a pale carpet all impress. Your slick modern fitted kitchen (of over 10 feet by over 6 feet) is set off this room - with double doors for when you want to tidy it away.

Take the stairs up to the second floor and you have your second double bedroom - a notably large one, incorporating and extended from the former loft space. You have great built-in storage for clothes and such, and accessible storage in the eaves also. Two windows look out over gardens, rooftops and tall trees, and you have two further skylight windows for cloud/star gazing.

Transport is easy with two stations within an easy walk, and great bus connections too. You are also mere minutes from some of the most lauded restaurants south of the river! We particularly rate Artusi, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati. Other local streets Blenheim Grove, Choumert Road (the lower section) and Rye Lane provide plenty of additional options (and don’t miss The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex and Peckham Levels, all just off Rye Lane).

Independent shopping is easy - on Grove Vale, and East Dulwich’s Lordship Lane (here we like SMBS Foods, William Rose, Mons, Moxon’s and The Cheese Block), where you'll also find a Picturehouse cinema. Top shops on Bellenden Road include Flock & Herd butchery, The General Store, and Review book store.

For more options, Camberwell, Herne Hill, Brixton and Dulwich Village are all easily reached.

Local green spaces? These include Warwick Gardens, Lettsom Gardens, Goose Green, Peckham Rye Park and Common (Grade II listed and with Green Flag status) and Ruskin Park.

Local primary schools and nurseries include The Belham, The Villa and Bellenden. The Charter School East Dulwich is close for secondary phase.
