Peckham Hill Street, Peckham

£850,000

Characterful and well turned out early-Victorian flat-fronted cottage - of 933 square feet - with two double bedrooms, two proper reception rooms (one of which can be enjoyed as a third bedroom), and generous front and rear gardens which face east and west respectively. You also have obvious potential to extend (STPP).

Walk just 13 minutes to Peckham Rye Station, or 15 to Queens Road Peckham Station. Both are Fare Zone 2 and deliver Windrush line alongside mainline services.

You are also well served for bus links (it is a ~15 minute bus ride to Elephant & Castle for the tube). And you are super close to Burgess Park (fab and friendly Saturday parkrun here!) and the Surrey Canal path with good cycle route for commuting.

From the hall, turn right for your front sash-windowed reception room - of 12 feet by over 11 feet, with wood-burning stove and granite hearth, stripped floors and picture rail.

Next you have your second reception (it is over 15 feet by 12 feet) - a natural dining room - cleverly opened up to the hall space. An exposed feature fireplace is displayed, you have more stripped floors to the floor, and a sash window onto the side-return area of the garden.

On through and you arrive in your tiled kitchen, with smart modern units and a ceramic Butler sink under the casement window.

There is a lobby where you have the back door to the garden, then the property's bathroom is set to the back of the house. This has a neat white suite, traditional-style fittings, a standalone shower, brick-style tiling, and two east-facing windows.

The garden is well-established, with both paved and lawned areas, and has a cheerful sunny orientation. Lucky you!

Up to the first floor and your principal (carpeted) bedroom spans the width of the house - it's over 15 feet by over 11 feet. Two sash windows face west. A bank of wall-to-wall wardrobes is wonderfully papered in a gorgeous House of Hackney design.

Adjacent is your second sash-windowed bedroom. It is a good size, at 12 feet by 10 feet.

Bellenden Road is a short walk for independent cafes, restaurants and shops (for dinner dates, don’t miss Ganapati, Artusi and The Begging Bowl); the butcher and fishmonger are great here, too.

In the direction of and nearer QRP Station, check out The Meeting House (on Meeting House Lane): a popular local coffee shop and wine bar. Naifs family-run vegan bistro is local and lovely as well.

Rye Lane is really close for trendy destinations such as Peckham Levels, Peckham Plex Cinema, The Market Building and The Bussey Building and Copeland Park complex, plus handy high street shops, markets and services.

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