New Cross Road, New Cross

£400,000

Charming first floor two bed (one double, one single) Victorian conversion flat, with a Freehold-share and a large shared south-facing garden.

Located within Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, you can walk just five minutes to New Cross Gate Station, or 10 to Queens Road Peckham Station.

You enter the building at the raised ground floor level. From the shared hall, take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door. To your left from the hall is the big reception room/dining room, of over 17 feet by over 14 feet, with two south-facing sash windows to leafy vistas.

Drop down a few steps here to the cute and windowed kitchen - with more verdant views, and modern fitted wall and base units.

First on your right from the hall is a modern bathroom (with over bath shower), with double-glazed window. Next is a large single bedroom and then a good double - of over 13 feet by over 9 feet. Both the bedrooms are carpeted and have double-glazed windows.

For rail travel, you are close to two Fare Zone 2 stations which both offer Overground as well as regular services. Or take a short bus ride from New Cross or Old Kent Roads to Elephant & Castle tube and beyond. Gorgeous Greenwich and hip Deptford beckon in the other direction.

Your most local primary schools are Haberdashers', Kender, and Edmund Waller. And all have good nurseries, from 3 years.

Central New Cross has wonderful historical buildings and contemporary art gallery: Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA), plus an increasing number of pubs and eateries such as The Rosemary, The Rose Inn, The New Cross House, The Telegraph at the Earl of Derby and The Amersham Arms.

The nearby area around QRP Station has a scene of its own now too - we love all things Kudu, Well & Fed, Blackbird Bakery and Mamma Dough.

Telegraph Hill's Lower Park is a short stroll and has a delightful Saturday market. Nunhead - with its high street village vibe - is close too: here we like Ayres bakery and FC Soper wet fish shop, as well as El Vermut, Mother Superior, The Old Nun’s Head and Goodcup.

Peckham Rye Park and Common is fairly local too, as is Peckham's Rye Lane - for markets and high street shops, plus trendy bars and restaurants (like Forza Wine, Frank’s Cafe and The Coal Rooms).

For the regular ‘big shop’, the big Sainsbury's that's just by New Cross Gate Station will serve you well, or it's a short drive to all the others.

Further shopping and social options are found in Brockley, Deptford and Dulwich.
