Peckham Road, Peckham

£650,000

Slick and turnkey three double bedroom apartment with two shower rooms (one is an en suite) and a bathroom, plus a sunny private balcony and cute courtyard, within a RIBA award-winning (2021) ziggurat form development in Peckham, by Peter Barber Architects.

Owned just once and one of only 33 exclusive high-end homes, this big and posh pad is positioned at the front of the development, set on ground and first floor levels of the impressive and visually intriguing low-rise scheme, which further boasts a large communal courtyard plus a large shared bicycle storeroom.

You are in pleasing Peckham/Camberwell borderland here. Walk just nine minutes to Peckham Rye Station and Bellenden Road. It is the same distance to central Camberwell.

Your own front door is set off your front smartly-cobbled courtyard, which is walled and gated off from the pavement.

Your main front door opens to the huge open-plan living room/kitchen/dining room. You also have access to your first bedroom (this is over 9 feet by nearly 12 feet). This is currently in use as a home office/studio. It's a flexible room should you not need a third bedroom, and has a southerly orientation - giving you great light all day long.

Your large main room is over 21 feet wide, and hosts a sleek modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances (including dishwasher) - which are included in the sale. A couple of deep-apricot accent walls pleasingly spell out your comfortable living area. Engineered wood features to the floor (you also have this in your downstairs bedroom).

A generous storage cupboard (fab for coats, shoes and the vacuum cleaner) and modern shower room (which doubles as a guest lavatory) complete the tour of the ground floor.

Upstairs and from the first floor landing you have two double bedrooms - the largest is over 15 feet by over 11 feet, and has big built- in closets plus double-doors out to your south-facing balcony. The other is also a good size - 17 feet by nearly 10 feet - with a dressing area then a smart modern shower room beyond.

Finally, you have a built-in linen closet on the landing, next door to your neat internal modern bathroom - with an over-bath shower and under-basin storage.

Access the development’s shared courtyard from the ground floor. A welcome 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.

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 is TOAD bakery (worth the queuing!).

Camberwell gems old and new include The Camberwell Arms, Hermits Cave, Silk Road, Theo’s, Little Cellars, The Kerfield Arms and Veraison Wines.

And for luxury groceries, check out Gladwell's in the old bank building on Camberwell Church Street. Lala Books (serves coffee as well) is a new popular SE5 addition, on Grove Lane.

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 is 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.
