Gautrey Road, Nunhead

£379,950

Generously-proportioned, double-glazed two bed ground floor ex-LA flat of 646 square feet, on a residential Nunhead street that’s close to both Queens Road Peckham and Nunhead stations (just 8 and 6 minutes away by foot), and to Nunhead Lane’s independent high street and village-style green. Parking is unrestricted, on-street. Leasehold.

You have your own front door - which is always nice! Directly on your right upon entry is the smaller of the two bedrooms of over 8 feet by nearly 7. Ahead is a huge kitchen/diner with a large built-in storage cupboard, a generous amount of timeless cream fitted base and wall units, and space for the washing machine and a slimline dishwasher. Stone tiles to the floor and walls are smart and impressive (find these in the bathroom too). A large window above the sink facing east looks onto the street; quiet and tree-lined.

The large reception room of over 17 feet by over 9 has two west-facing windows where you can see the communal greenery, and next door to this is a large master bedroom of over 14 feet by over 8. A sizeable storage cupboard sits next door and next door to this is the bathroom with a small window to the porch area, and a simple white suite with shower over the bath.

What’s in the neighbourhood? Central Nunhead has strong independent staples: Ayre’s bakery and Soper’s wet fish shop, for example. Bambuni deli and The Beer Shop and Good Cup coffee shop are newer and popular, too. Fine establishments to eat and drink include El Vermut, Four Hundred Rabbits, The Old Nun’s Head and Babette (all are on Nunhead Lane).

Head to Peckham Bazaar on nearby Consort Road for the hottest table in SE15; find pan-Balkan cuisine and a deliciously non-standard wine list. Close to QRP Station, you have Blackbird Bakery, Beer Rebellion, Kudu and Mamma Dough restaurants.

The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex is also a short walk from your door for hip eats, drinks, exhibitions and the like (there’s even a rooftop bar and cinema in the warm months). Rye Lane’s Peckham Plex cinema is also an important know-about with films for a fiver, as well as Peckham Levels and Frank’s bar.

The ‘triangle’ at the end of Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres (a 15 minute walk from your door) is busy with new places to eat, drink and be - Pizza Pickup, Pedler, Mr Bao, Banh Banh and Voodoo Ray’s being a handful. Bellenden Road, Choumert Road, Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane provide more food and drink options. We particularly rate Levan, Artusi, Miss Tapas and Ganapati.

Telegraph Hill has pretty parks with London skyline views and The Hill Station cafe/pop up space. New Cross, Brockley, Deptford and Dulwich are all also close by, for further options.
