Ommaney Road, New Cross

£435,000

Large, light and lovely one bedroom (raised ground/hall floor) Victorian conversion flat of 607 square feet, within New Cross’s Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, close to New Cross Gate Station (walk eight minutes).

From the shared hall it is a left for your own front door. You open directly into the massive reception room (13 feet by over 18 feet) with huge south-facing bay window (custom-made shutters featuring here), alcove shelving plus entertainment cupboard, and delightful coving detail. There is plenty of space to zone seating and dining areas, and your ceiling height is dreamy.

Your independent kitchen is adjacent - with smart white wall and base units, brick-style gloss wall tiles and a big window over the sink.

There’s a roomy cupboard in the hall for coats and such, then you have your bathroom with separate w.c. next door. The (windowed) bathroom hosts attractive traditional-style sanitary ware and you have an over-bath shower, too.

Finally you have your large bedroom (of over 14 feet by over 10 feet). Another bay window brings on the smiles, and fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes rest to the near wall, offering generous clothing storage.

Once home to Victorian poet Robert Browning, Telegraph Hill is a great community to call home and hosts an annual festival in March plus a Christmas panto, showcasing local talent.

Telegraph Hill’s Victorian Parks (Upper and Lower) are delightful, as is The Hill Station community cafe with pizza place on-site as well. There is a monthly Farmers’ Market held in the Lower Park, or nip down to Brockley Market (held on Saturdays in the Lewisham College Car Park).

New Cross Gate Station is but an eight minute stroll for London Overground trains and regular mainline services. It is just one stop to London Bridge!

A big and handy Sainsbury's store sits behind the station, and independent shops and pubs line New Cross Road. The Word book shop is a top recommendation in New Cross, and don't miss your local contemporary art gallery (Goldsmiths CCA).

Deptford High Street is fairly close too for more options (we like Stockton, Salt, Marcella and Jars Bar). Peckham is also close for further foodie and social options.
