Sale Agreed

Classy three bedroom, two balcony double-aspect apartment of over 900 square feet, within a RIBA award-winning (2021) ziggurat form development in Peckham, by Peter Barber Architects. It's been owned just once.

This posh and pleasing pad is one of just 33, on the third floor of the impressive and visually intriguing low-rise development, which further boasts a large communal courtyard.

You’re in pleasing Peckham/Camberwell borderland here. Walk just nine minutes to Peckham Rye Station and Bellenden Road. It's the same to central Camberwell.

Take lift or stairs to your floor and your own front door (noting the brilliant secure bike store which is accessed from the shared hall).

From your welcoming hall (a handy coat closet featuring here), turn left for the first of your three bedrooms. This one’s over 13 feet by over 9 feet. The view out is to your sunny and private west-facing balcony - perfect for dinner and drinks.

Next door is the fabulous and bright main room - which sleekly incorporates reception, dining and kitchen spaces. It’s over 21 feet by 18 feet and big on glazing. We love the slim profile oversized glazed door which opens out onto the beautiful front balcony (of over 14 feet by nearly 6 feet). The fitted kitchen has timeless fitted units paired with stone counters, and you've got large built-in tall cupboards too.

Next up is the main bathroom - this has smart tiling, concealed plumbing, a heated towel rad, and a contemporary suite and fittings (which include an over bath shower with separate spray attachment).

Set to the rear of the flat, find bedrooms two and three. The glazing offering continues to be pleasingly generous. The first is over 13 feet by over 7 feet. The master bedroom is adjacent - of over 11 feet by 10 feet, with a modern en suite shower room, and your second private balcony (again you can enjoy food and beverages happily here). Enjoy far-reaching London skyline views from both bedrooms and the balcony.

Access the development’s communal courtyard from the ground floor. A fab spot for hanging out with friends and neighbours.

For public local open spaces, Lettsom Gardens, Warwick Gardens, Lucas Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common, Ruskin, Brunswick and Burgess Parks are all local. The Peckham Coal Line linear park can hopefully soon be added to that list.

Peckham and Camberwell are equally close to you - for things to do and places to go. South London Gallery is but a few minutes from your door, as are TOAD bakery and South London Louie (for top weekend brunches).

Camberwell gems include The Camberwell Arms, Nandine, Hermits Cave, Silk Road, Forza Win, Theo’s, Little Cellars and Veraison Wines. And for luxury groceries, check out Gladwell's and Grove Lane Deli.

In Peckham, in the warm months you can enjoy rooftop cocktails at Frank’s and/or atop The Bussey Building, and classy eats and drinks can be found at The Sourcing Table, Ganapati, Artusi, Mr Bao, The Coal Rooms, Levan and Miss Tapas (just a handful of the gastronomic options on Bellenden Road and beyond). There's a good cinema in SE15 as well, on Rye Lane: Peckham Plex.

For further options, head to Herne Hill, Nunhead, Dulwich, New Cross, Deptford, Brixton and Greenwich. Or hop on a bus to central London - there are plenty of useful bus routes from your street, including the 436 (Paddington and Victoria), the 12 (Oxford Circus) and the 171 (Holborn).
