Kelvington Road, Nunhead

£925,000

Architecturally-treated and totally charming three bedroom twenties house, on a quiet residential back street. A beautiful south-east facing rear garden seals the deal. You have a very pretty cottage-style front garden as well.

The characterful property is one of the 'homes for heroes' houses; built in the 1920’s for people returning from WW1.

This is such a quiet yet well-connected locale, and puts you a short stroll from the small town centres of Nunhead, East Dulwich, Peckham and Brockley.

And what a green spot! You are really close to the delightful public spaces of Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill, Peckham Rye Park and Common, and Nunhead and Camberwell New cemeteries. Also nearby is Aquarius Golf Club (a unique 9-hole one; run by volunteers).

Kids? Local schools and nursery provision is strong - your most local primary is Ivydale.

For stations, Nunhead and Brockley are both a flat, 15 minute walk. Parking is currently unrestricted on this and neighbouring streets.

In your front door and on your left you have your sash-windowed, stripped-floored formal front reception. This is over 15 feet by over 11 feet, with alcove book shelving and picture rail detail, in a gorgeous green hue.

Via pocket door, you arrive in your epic and bright double-aspect kitchen/reception room, which runs over 21 feet and has verdant vistas. Your kitchen cupboards are matt white and modern in style (you also have fab tall ones, in ply), and there is a central island/breakfast bar. Further brilliant features include cool exposed steelwork, custom-made window seating (with ply storage drawers), bespoke shelving, and a huge roof light.

Double-glazed doors fold all the way across to deliver you to the garden. This is a notably sunny and well-stocked affair, has a handy shed, and it extends over 44 feet.

A modern windowed bathroom - with smart contemporary sanitary ware and fittings - rounds off the tour of the ground floor.

Up the stairs and to the front of the house you have a neat windowed shower room and your principal bedroom - of over 15 feet by over 9 feet, with twin sash windows, and a cute feature fireplace. With garden views, to the back of the house, you have another double bedroom (of over 11 feet by over 10 feet, with built-in cupboards) and a large single (of over 9 feet by over 7 feet).

We’ve mentioned your closest rail stations. For bus travel, you are a couple of minutes from a 343 and 484 bus stop. The 343 connects you to central London’s Aldgate via London Bridge (and at night the N343 runs every 30 minutes from Trafalgar Square directly home). The 484 gives you Lewisham Station/town centre, Camberwell Green via Goose Green, and Denmark Hill Station.

Locally, we love Nunhead’s staples such as FC Soper (fishmonger) and Ayres bakery. El Vermut and Mother Superior (cute independent bottle shops/bars) are super too. Your most local pubs include The Ivy House and The Waverley Arms. Both have a friendly community vibe.

Peckham’s Rye Lane has lots of trendy spots such as Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, and rooftop bars for summer months. Bellenden Road is just a little further for great restaurants such as Artusi, Ganapati and The Begging Bowl.
