Smart two bed two bath flat of 824 square feet, owned just once to date, with a long lease, on the fourth floor of a sleek modern-build block.

You are in New Cross/Peckham borderland here (so can enjoy the offerings of both towns), within easy reach of Queens Road Peckham, New Cross Gate and Nunhead stations, and with excellent bus routes at your feet in and out of town from Old Kent Road and Queens Road.

Access is via secure gate and then secure main front door. Take the lift or stairs to your own front door on floor four. On entry you have utility and storage cupboards to your right and left. These are built-in. Over the hall is your modern internal bathroom with contemporary suite and fittings.

To your right you have your main room with loads of space for your kitchen, dining and and seating areas. Fitted units are a timeless modern style. As throughout, decor is bright and white. An east-facing covered private balcony is accessed from this room. Morning sun impresses here, as do views over pretty Georgian maisonettes.

The west-wing of the apartment hosts your two double bedrooms. These are both very generous at over 17 feet long, and the principal has a built-in closet and an en suite shower room.

Transport is fab in your locale. Aside from the three mentioned local stations, bus routes are brilliant from both Queens and Old Kent Roads (walk a few minutes for either). Roll all the way into town, or connect easily with the tube at Elephant & Castle.
