Hichisson Road, Nunhead

£525,000

Chain free two bedroom Victorian first floor maisonette with two bedrooms (one double, one single), its own front door, a private sunny SE-facing garden, and a demised loft to boot.

Welcome features include pitch-pine doors, fresh white walls, a modern fitted kitchen, and a smart and bright bathroom. The process has begun for the acquisition of a Freehold-share (as part of this process, the lease will be extended to 999 years before your purchase completes).

This is a popular tree-lined residential side-street in a quiet and friendly community with good connectivity. Your local stations are Nunhead, Peckham Rye, Crofton Park and Brockley; all are circa a mile from the house. Bus links are easy, too, from nearby Cheltenham Road.

You are also really close to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres, the beautiful green space of Nunhead cemetery, and also to volunteer-run Aquarius Golf Club.

To the front of the property you have your delightful bay-windowed reception room, of over 13 feet by over 10 feet. Next door is your single bedroom, of 8 feet by over 6 feet. It makes an equally good home office or music room.

Your principal bedroom is up next. This is 11 feet each way, with a built-in alcove closet.

Your kitchen/diner is a modern affair with smart fitted units and integrated appliances (which are included in the sale). Beyond this is a little lobby giving you access to your windowed bathroom (with traditional-style sanitaryware), and also to stairs down to your garden.

More green space? Peckham Rye Park & Common is your most local public park (walk five minutes). It comprises a Victorian Park and historic common; a pleasant refuge for both the local community and wildlife. It is home to ornamental gardens, streams, woodland and a lake, playgrounds and a cafe, plus outdoor gym. The park has been awarded Green Flag status and has a long, rich and engaging history; it was recorded as being cultivated before the Norman Conquest in the 11th Century!

At the tip of the common you have a host of cool eateries like Mr Bao and Banh Banh, a trendy hairdressing salon & amazing coffee shops: Nola & Old Spike.

Bellenden Road, Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane are also close for yummy restaurants (we love Levan, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl and Artusi), cool bars and pubs, Peckham Levels, and The Bussey Building.

You are a short stroll from Nunhead and East Dulwich’s town centres, too. In Nunhead we like El Vermut, Goodcup, Ayres bakery and FC Soper wet fish shop.

Brockley is also close for more options, and for pubs; The Ivy House, The Waverley, The Herne and The Angel Oak are all strong locals.
