Montpelier Road, Peckham

£499,950

Sleek, well-designed and fun one bedroom raised ground floor conversion flat with notably high ceilings, and a west-facing terrace off the reception room. A Freehold-share completes the package.

Find your new roomy pad on a pretty, exclusively-residential Peckham street, just a four minute walk from Queens Road Peckham station. It is only a little further to Peckham Rye station (walk 14 mins). Both are Zone 2 and on the London Overground network.

In the shared front door then your own, and you will note storage cupboards to your left. Straight ahead is the immaculate contemporary bathroom, with brick-style ceramic tiling, inset taps, marble detail, bright under-basin storage and an over-bath shower.

To your right of your hall, open into the carpeted double bedroom, of over 12 feet by over 11, with a feature fireplace, large central window, and vertical radiator.

Your smart reception room is set to the rear of the building, with smart built-in alcove storage and another feature fireplace, plus huge industrial-style doors onto your private outside space; the roof terrace is decked and part-walled. It is incredibly low-maintenance, and an ideal spot for potted herbs and plants and the BBQ.

The modern eat-in kitchen sits off the reception room. This is a smart timeless white fitted one, with wooden counters, integrated appliances, and an exposed-brick wall plus on-trend open shelf detail. The herringbone floor is also a pleasing decision.

The area around QRP Station has its own established scene: we like Connie’s Pizzeria, Peckham Cellars, Beer Rebellion, Blackbird Bakery, Well & Fed and DKUK hair salon (cuts in front of art!) especially. All are within mere minutes of your door, as is a useful Tesco store.

In the station's arches, popular newcomer businesses include Eagle Eats Bakery and a More Yoga studio.

Walk a little further for The Meeting House (cafe through to wine bar) and Naifs (family-run Michelin- recommended vegan restaurant).

Walk 12 minutes to Rye Lane, 13 to Peckham Rye Station, and 15 to Bellenden Road. Rye Lane is home to hip rooftop bars, a wonderful independent cinema (with £5.99 films), regular pop-ups and handy high street shops. Bellenden Road has top restaurants such as Artusi, Ganapati and The Begging Bowl. Blenheim Grove has good spots as well (examples - Kruk, Levan, Il Giardino and Hausu).

For more options, New Cross (don't miss contemporary art gallery Goldsmiths CCA here), Nunhead, East Dulwich and Deptford are all close.

There is a community garden at the end of the street. And local parks include Brimmington, Telegraph Hill, Peckham Rye, Burgess and Southwark. Or jump on the bus for Greenwich Park plus attractions, and walks along and river boats on the River Thames of course.
