Peckham Hill Street, Peckham

£550,000

Exquisitely-renovated one double bedroom apartment of 609 square feet, over two floors, with a Freehold-share, a bike shed (to the front of the property), and a sunny private terrace - which is accessed off the large bedroom.

The real head-turner of a home is set within a dishy semi-detached Georgian semi-detached villa. Owned just once, your new pad is one of just four apartments in the luxury boutique development - which were delivered in 2022.

Welcome features include a Nest thermostat, engineered oak floors, old school style radiators, and Carrara marble kitchen worktops (you have a marble basin and marble floor tiles in the bathroom as well).

Walk just 10 minutes to Peckham Rye Station, or 12 to Queens Road Peckham Station. Both are Fare Zone 2 and on the Overground/Windrush line, as well as offering mainline services.

Stroll one minute for bus links (it is but a 15 minute bus ride to Elephant & Castle for the tube). You are also pleasingly-close to Burgess Park and the Surrey Canal path; access this from the back gate of the property onto Bonar Road.

There is a smart shared entrance hall. Open your own front door directly into the main room, which hosts kitchen, dining and seating areas. The room runs an impressive 28 feet, with stairs at the foot taking you up to the bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

The kitchen is a timeless sleek affair in an L-shape, at the front of the building. Appliances (including a full-size dishwasher and SMEG oven) are high-end and integrated, and the large arched sash window is a beautiful feature above the sink area.

Up to the first floor and turn left for the large and wonderfully-light bedroom - complete with (fitted-out) dressing area, wall lights from Graham & Green, and with folding double-glazed doors to a south-west facing private terrace over allotment views.

A slick shower room completes the tour (right at the top of the stairs) - here you’ll find underfloor heating, concealed plumbing, a marble basin from Lusso Stone, and under-basin storage.

Bellenden Road is a short walk for independent cafes, restaurants and shops. Our favourites include Artusi, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Review bookstore and Petitou (the latter’s on nearby Choumert Road). Flock & Herd (butcher) and The Life of Fish (fishmonger) are great here, too.

In the direction of and nearer QRP Station, check out The Meeting House (on Meeting House Lane) - a new already-popular local coffee shop through to wine bar, Naïfs family-run vegan bistro is local and lovely as well (Goldsmith Road), Kudu, Peckham Cellars and Beer Rebellion.

Local public houses include The Montpelier, The Prince Albert, The Prince of Peckham, and The Vic(toria) Inn.

Rye Lane is really close, as well, for trendy destinations such as Peckham Levels, Peckham Plex Cinema, The Market Building and The Bussey Building (yoga classes, exhibitions and more) and Copeland Park, plus handy high street shops, markets and services.

For more options - Bermondsey, Borough, Camberwell, Nunhead, New Cross, Deptford and Dulwich are easily-reached.
