St Mary’s Road, Nunhead

£875,000

Delightful and chain free three bedroom (two doubles, one single) period maisonette of 1016 square feet, over upper floors, with its own entrance, a generous and sunny section of garden extending over 30 feet, and a studio/office (with power).

Your new home has loads of welcome features including sash and skylight windows, old school style radiators, wooden floors, and a neutral and sympathetic decorative scheme.

Find your new home on a wide and tree-lined residential Nunhead street, popping you just an eight minute walk from both Nunhead Station and Queens Road Peckham Station (Overground services as well as regular ones from here).

You are also close to Nunhead Green Conservation Area, which takes in Nunhead’s well-stocked independent high street and village-style green.

Open your own front door into a handy lobby area with painted stairs up to the landing area. Ceilings are pleasingly high from the off.

To the rear of the building you have a smart windowed bathroom with traditional-style sanitary ware and roll-top bath.

Next door is a very generous principal bedroom, of over 13 feet each way. The current owners are using this as a second large reception room. A large SW-facing sash window delivers verdant vistas.

Next door is your large reception room, of over 13 feet by over 14 feet. Twin arched-sash windows feature, plus a cute fireplace.

An independent modern fitted kitchen with casement window completes the tour of this floor. Here, you have smart white wall and base units, wooden worktops and metro-tilling.

Up to the second floor for the rest of your bedrooms: a large double and a large single.

Access the garden via the side of the house (it is semi-detached, one flat below you). It gets lots of sun being south-west facing, and comes complete with a gorgeous garden studio with power.

Nunhead station has London Victoria trains and Thameslink trains as well (Farringdon, Blackfriars). It also puts on an impressive skyline view from the platform.

Or you can stroll north to Queens Road Peckham station (also Fare Zone 2) for Windrush line trains alongside regular rail services. PCanary Wharf is easy via Canada Water, also destinations such as Clapham Junction or Shoreditch High Street.

Nunhead has a relaxed vibe with a friendly community, with a central green, playground and community centre (by AOC architects), and excellent established staples which include Ayre’s bakery and Soper’s wet-fish shop.

Other treats include El Vermut and Mother Superior bottle shops, Goodcup/Goodnights and BARD4100 (pizzas and bar). And there's a handy Co-Op with cash machine. The Pyrotechnists Arms and The Old Nun’s Head are strong locals (and we should also mention The Earl of Derby), and Peckham Bazaar is a favourite of ours (pan-Balkan menu) on nearby Consort Road.

Beer Rebellion, Peckham Cellars, Blackbird Bakery and Connie’s are all recommended, on the little stretch by QRP Station.

Central Peckham (home to cool Rye Lane) is an under-15 minute walk, for such delights as Peckham Levels and Forza Wine, The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex, plus Market Building and various markets and pop-ups.

Walk a further five minutes to Bellenden Road with its independent high street and lovely shops, cafes and restaurants - examples are Artusi, The Sourcing Table, The Begging Bowl, Ganapati, Flock & Herd and Review book store.

It’s a short stroll to Telegraph Hill's gorgeous parks with views and a weekly Farmers’ Market (Saturdays from 10am) and also Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres.

Locally, Nunhead Cemetery is a beautiful Victorian one, one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’, with organised tours, and beautiful big trees and views.

For more options, Camberwell, New Cross, Deptford, Brockley and Greenwich are all but a short journey.

For little ones, there are good local nurseries, and primaries include Edmund Waller, Hollydale and Ivydale.
