Huguenot Square, Peckham

£525,000

Beautifully turned out two double bedroom maisonette with its own front door and a private, seriously-sunny south and west facing roof terrace (set directly off your big reception room). There is free, first come/first served parking in the square directly in front of the flat. Chain free.

The immediate area is a quiet and leafy residential one with a mix of low-rise housing, near central Nunhead’s high street area and Green, and just a few minutes from Peckham Rye Park and Common. Plus the cute area next to it with lots of cool restaurants, pubs, bars and coffee shops. Your local stations are Nunhead and Peckham Rye stations (walk circa 10 minutes to each).

Your new turnkey pad is laid out over first and second floors (with your front door on the ground floor), delivering a generous footprint of well over 700 square feet. Windows are double-glazed throughout.

From your entrance lobby, up to the first floor and from your landing (noting a welcome deep storage cupboard here), you access your big and bright reception room, of over 12 feet by over 11 feet. There is plenty of space for seating and dining areas. Open onto your low-maintenance terrace from here to catch some rays or entertain al fresco.

Your smart and timeless fitted kitchen (with wooden worktops and a double ceramic sink) is set off the reception, running over 14 feet.

Your second floor delivers two bedrooms. Both are doubles, with a west-facing window each.

There is a handy built-in storage cupboard on the landing. An immaculate bathroom with high-end, traditional-style sanitaryware and fittings (including an over-bath shower) completes your tour.

Nunhead has a village-vibe and cool indie high street with established favourites such as Ayres bakery and FC Soper wet fish shop. BARD4100, Goodcup (plus Goodnights, downstairs) and El Vermut come recommended, and you have a couple of good locals in The Old Nun’s Head and The Pyrotechnist’s Arms. The Angel Oak (formerly The Rye Hotel) is also another strong drinking establishment, with a sunny beer garden.

Peckham has a great (and growing!) restaurant scene; its highlights include Peckham Bazaar, Hausu, Lai Rai, Levan, Forza Wine, Mr Bao, Il Giardino and 081 Pizzeria.

Rye Lane is home to Peckham Plex Cinema, and the trendiest of hangouts such as Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building and The Market Building, as well as high street shops and markets.

For more options you are really close to East Dulwich, Camberwell and New Cross.
