Peckham Grove, Peckham

£425,000

Bright and roomy two bed warehouse-style apartment of 626 square feet with fab dimensions, exposed brickwork, high ceilings, architecty oversized doors and huge windows as well. A private designated parking space (no. 80) completes the package.

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

There is secure entry to the building, and communal areas are generous and looked after well (regularly cleaned within your service charges).

Take the lift or stairs up to the second floor, for your own front door. Once in, the property's modern internal bathroom is set to your left. You can also access this from bedroom one, which is a good double of over 17 feet by 9 feet.

Next along the hall is another double bedroom, of over 10 feet by over 8 feet. The big windows throughout the flat all pleasingly have a southwesterly orientation.

At the foot of the hall is a useful cupboard for coats and cleaning bits. Then the door to your open-plan kitchen/reception is to your left. What a room! Notably generous with a set-of-Friends feel, and a private sunny (industrial-vibe) balcony (big enough for a bistro table and chairs setup) you can entertain really easily here.

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. 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 keeping fit, there is a very local Puregym on Southampton Way (as well as leisure centres in Peckham and Camberwell). Burgess Park has a popular Parkrun each Saturday at 9am.

Socialising? Both of your local town centres have loads to 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, Pizza Nerds and Mr Bao.

In SE5, we rate Gladwell’s, The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield, Theo’s, Veraison Wines and Little Cellars. For easy-grab groceries, there is a small Tesco store on Southampton Way. And tasty TOAD bakery (worth the queue!) in strollable Camberwell.
