Gautrey Road, Nunhead

£435,000

Bright and oversized one double bedroom raised ground floor flat (of 604 square feet) with noteworthy high ceilings.

The current owners have recently and beautifully renovated the apartment with excellent attention to detail. Lift not a finger here!

You are situated on a tree-lined residential street just eight minutes by foot from Nunhead and Queens Road Peckham stations. Nunhead’s cute high street and Green/Conservation Area is a short stroll from your door, too.

Your own front door is at the foot of the shared hall - here the raised ground floor’s high ceilings impress from the off. On entry to your own hall, useful built-in cupboards are set to your right.

The large reception room rests to the front of the building. It is huge! At over 17 feet by over 13 feet, with a large bay window with sash windows and beautiful box work. Stripped and treated wooden floors roll through from the hall.

Next door, find a neat shower room, with modern fittings, an inset shelf in the shower space, and brick-style tiling.

The bedroom is up next; another large room, at over 13 feet by over 12 feet. Custom-made wardrobes run along the near wall. These are cleverly fitted around the door.

Finally, also at the back of the building, find your slick and smart fitted kitchen, with integrated appliances and lots of storage, and a bang-on-trend monochrome theme.

This is a great flat and great location combination - you are close to a thriving high street, Victorian library, and two stations (handily between them covering Thameslink, Southern, South Eastern and Overground services). The beautiful Victorian Nunhead Cemetery - one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’ with organised tours and beautiful big trees - is also local (walk about 12 minutes).

Village-cool Nunhead has a central Green, playground and community centre (by AOC architects), and excellent established staples including a bakery, wet-fish shop, and a huge pharmacy/post office. Newer and popular arrivals include Goodcup coffee shop (with Goodnights bar downstairs), The Nunhead Gardener, Mother Superior bottle shop/deli/bar, El Vermut bottle shop/bar, and BARD4100 (fab pizzas and beers). There is also a Co-Op with cash machine.

The Old Nun’s Head and The Earl of Derby are popular local pubs with strong Sunday roasts and burgers.

It is a short stroll to Telegraph Hill's delightful parks (with views and a weekly Farmers’ Market), and also Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres.

For more options, Peckham, Camberwell, New Cross, Deptford, Brockley and Greenwich are all close.
