Peckham Grove, Peckham

£695,000

Large, light and lovely warehouse-style three bedroom apartment (two big doubles, one big single) with a sleek bathroom and independent guest w.c. as well, high ceilings, exposed brickwork, and an east/west orientation. The cherry on top is a private designated parking space just outside.

Find your new architect-owned pad in a smart low-rise residential setting, in a notably quiet spot between the town centres of Peckham and Camberwell, really close to Burgess Park’s delightful 56 hectares (lake, cafe, tennis and sports courts and more).

Peckham and Camberwell and their respective stations (Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill) are both a 15-20 minute walk, for Windrush and regular rail services.

On entry, first on your left is a bright double bedroom of over 12 feet by over 10 feet. As throughout, glazing is generous.

On your right of the hallway is a large single bedroom of 12 feet by 7 feet. It’s currently enjoyed as a home office/dressing room. Adjacent to this room is a large storage cupboard then next along the hall your guest loo then the bathroom (white suite and over-bath shower here).

Opposite these is your huge main room of 29 feet (not a typo!) by over 12 feet, incorporating kitchen, dining and lounge areas, with gorgeous engineered oak herringbone flooring flowing in from the hall. A rather epic space to entertain a crowd, or to simply bask in the glory of those high ceilings!

At the foot of the hall you have your final bedroom, of over 11 feet by nearly 11 feet. As with all the bedrooms, walls and ceilings are a crisp white.

There are also excellent bus routes on your doorstep and from Peckham Road/Camberwell Church Street, to Elephant & Castle or Oval tube stations and beyond.

For those with a fitness focus, there is a very local Puregym on Southampton Way (as well as leisure centres in Peckham and Camberwell). And Burgess Park has a popular parkrun each Saturday at 9am.

Socialising? Both of your local town centres have lots on offer including (in SE15) Bellenden and Choumert Roads, Blenheim Grove and trendiest Rye Lane with rooftop bars, cinema and brilliant restaurants. Examples are Ganapati, Levan, Artusi, The Begging Bowl, Hausu and Mr Bao.

In SE5, we rate The Camberwell Arms, Theo’s, Veraison Wines, The Bear, Silk Road, Little Cellars, The Kerfield Arms and Grove House Tavern. For easy-reach groceries there is a Tesco Express store on Southampton Way. For luxury ones, do check out Gladwell’s deli and TOAD bakery in strollable Camberwell.
