St Mary’s Road, Peckham

£2,295,000

Grade II listed, handsome, huge, and hugely characterful double-fronted five bed, four bath C19th villa – with retained period features aplenty – on a pleasing plot providing a sizeable gated driveway (which can accommodate up to six cars!), a massive integral garage (set at lower ground floor level), and a lush and mature SW-facing garden. Chain free.

The location finds you extremely well served by public transport. You are just a three minute walk from Queens Road Peckham Station (regular and Windrush line services; be at London Bridge inside 10 minutes) and 10 from Nunhead Station (Thameslink services). There are also lots of useful bus routes from Queens Road.

Take steps to your front door with impressive porch. You open into a wide and welcoming hall with stripped floors and high ceilings. On your left is a smart formal front reception, of over 16 feet by over 13 feet. To your right, you first have another reception (or bedroom), of 13 feet by 10 feet. Adjacent is another delightful reception (of 17 feet by 13 feet) with garden vistas.

Take a few steps up from the hall and you have a neat shower room which doubles as a guest w.c. On your left is a bedroom or additional reception (so much flexibility with this place!), of 13 feet by nearly 11 feet. The ground floor is completed by a comfortable day to day dining room onto the kitchen (granite worktops here) which has French doors out to the paved area of the sunny garden. You have a beautiful pine dresser in the dining area.

Your lower ground floor gives you an excellent dedicated utility room and a second kitchen/ette, storage vault plus your large garage (cars or bikes will be happy in here).

Your first floor hosts three windowed bathrooms and three generous double bedrooms (including your luxury principal suite which has a walk-in wardrobe with oversized bathroom beyond this).

You are also but a 15 minute walk from central Peckham for options such as Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, and a multitude of places to eat and drink on Bellenden Road and surrounding streets; such as Ganapati, Pizza Nerds, The Sourcing Table, Levan, Artusi and The Begging Bowl.
