East Surrey Grove, Peckham

£350,000

Neat first floor ex-LA flat of 446 square feet, close to Burgess Park. You are an under-15 minute walk from Peckham Rye Station, central Peckham, and central Camberwell too.

Find your own front door on the first floor of the low-rise block. Turn left from the hall to find your large open-plan reception room with slick and modern fitted kitchen. There’s plenty of space to zone eating and seating areas. The west-facing double-glazed window keeps matters bright, and next to this is a door to a cute covered balcony.

The property’s double bedroom is notably generous, at over 12 feet by nearly 11 feet. Double-glazed windows pan most of the external wall.

Finally you’ve got a modern bathroom with white suite and over-bath shower.

Walk just nine minutes to Peckham’s iconic, Stirling Prize winning Library (designed by Will Alsop). There’s a small but strong weekly Farmers’ Market in Peckham Square every Sunday 9am to 1pm, and Bellenden Road and Rye Lane are also close for independent shops (plus the high street staples, supermarkets and fruit and veg stalls). We particularly like The Bussey Building & Copeland Park,

Peckham Levels, Review Bookstore, Ganapati, Artusi, and Sally Butcher’s Persepolis (Persia, in Peckham!). In the warmer months, rooftop drinks with a sunset are a must.

Looking ahead, there’s even more on the horizon for SE15: The Peckham Coal Line and regeneration of and around Peckham Rye Station are exciting items bubbling.

Camberwell is close too - for South London Gallery, Camberwell College of Arts, and cool pubs, restaurants and cafes such as The Camberwell Arms, The Crooked Well, Nandine and Lumberjack.
