Characterful and well turned out early-Victorian ‘two up, two down’ flat-fronted cottage - of 933 square feet - with generous front (west-facing) and rear (east-facing) gardens.

Walk just 13 minutes to Peckham Rye Station, or 15 to Queens Road Peckham Station. Both are Fare Zone 2 and on the Overground/Windrush line, as well as offering mainline services.

You are also well set up 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 Saturday parkrun here!) and the Surrey Canal path.

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 up you have your second reception (it is over 15 feet by 12 feet) - a natural dining room - pleasingly opened up to the hall space. An opened-up feature fireplace features, 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 ceramic Butler sink under the casement window.

There’s a lobby where you have your 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 pleasingly sunny orientation.

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 pleasingly papered in a gorgeous House of Hackney design.

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