Elm Grove, Peckham Rye

£1,450,000

Enhanced four double bedroom Victorian double-bay-fronted terraced house over three full floors, with a sunny south-facing low-maintenance garden.

The location is a leafy no-through street within Holly Grove Conservation Area. You are just one street away from Bellenden Road, and close to Peckham Rye Station, Rye Lane and The Belham Primary School (walk just a few minutes to each).

The house is a seriously pleasing proposition for a grown or growing family, or equally suitable for those who like to entertain or/and need space to work from home.

Enjoy double-glazing and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor (and upstairs in the bathrooms as well). There’s permit-parking on-street.

A neat front garden sets you back from the pavement, and you have a handy lobby once through the front door. The huge reception room (once two rooms) is over 24 feet in length, and has a working fireplace and custom-made shutters to the lower panes of the big bay, plus a window seat with storage (which matches the TV unit).

Your smart kitchen - complete with island/bar - rests at the rear of the house. This has been extended over the former side-return space (Velux windows here plus a fixed window which visually connects you to the reception space and keeps matters light), maximising the plot. The fitted wall and base units are a slick gloss white, paired with stone counters. Folding doors spanning the rear wall open to the sun-trap garden.

Up to the first floor and at the rear of the house off the half-landing is a windowed shower room, with a utility/laundry cupboard next door. From the main landing, you have the first of your bedrooms to your right - this one is 11 feet by over 9 feet, with bespoke built-in closets to the alcoves.

The large bayed master bedroom sits to the front of the house. It is over 15 feet by over 13 feet, and sports a pretty feature fireplace and pale carpet to the floor, plus shutters to the lower panes of the sash windows once again.

The second floor delivers a double-aspect bathroom (modern white suite here and over-bath shower), and two further double bedrooms - of 10 feet by nearly 11 feet, and 11 feet by nearly 16 feet. Both rooms have feature fireplaces and good built-in storage. The big front bedroom has treated boards to the floor.

Peckham Rye Station (Fare Zone 2, with regular and Overground services) is really close for the commute or venturing out, or grab a bus from nearby Rye Lane or Peckham High Street.

Bellenden Road is a brief stroll for independent cafes, restaurants and shops. Our favourites include Artusi, Ganapati, The Sourcing Table, The Begging Bowl and Review bookstore. Levan, The Coal Rooms and Il Giardino are delicious and worthy of note, too - on Blenheim Grove. Rye Lane is close as well, for The Bussey and Market Buildings, plus handy high street shops and services and trendy bars and eateries.

Local pubs include The White Horse, The Prince Albert, The Montpelier and The Vic(toria) Inn. For more options for socialising or shopping, you’re walkable to Camberwell and Dulwich (15-20 minutes).

Local parks include Warwick Gardens, Lettsom Gardens, Burgess Park and Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres.

At the top of Warwick Gardens on Azenby Road is The Villa Nursery and Pre-Preparatory School (2-7). You’re also very close to The Belham Primary School (run by Dulwich Hamlet Educational Trust) and to Bellenden Primary.
