Talfourd Road, Peckham Rye

£785,000

Totally charming three bedroom Victorian conversion apartment. Your new home has great light and unobstructed fabulous views, both bath and shower rooms, and a well-kept mature rear communal garden (accessed from stairs down from the flat and via gate from the side of the building). Permit-parking is on-street.

The flat is on the second (top) floor of an attractive double-fronted semi-detached mansion with beautiful stacked bay windows. The location is one of Peckham Rye’s finest ‘Lyndhurst toast rack’ streets, lined with tall Victorian townhouses, in leafy Peckham Rye/Camberwell borderland.

Walk to Peckham Rye Station in just nine minutes, and to Denmark Hill Station in 11. Both are on the Overground network for Windrush line trains. You are also very close to Bellenden Road and Rye Lane, and to central Camberwell.

In the main door (there are five other flats in the building and you share this hall and the large east-facing garden), take the stairs to the second floor and your own front door.

First on your right is a modern (windowed) shower room. Straight ahead is your big and bright open-plan kitchen/reception room which runs 20 feet by over 11 feet, with two south-facing sash windows. Wooden floors, painted Shaker-style kitchen units and exposed brick detail and slimline vertical radiators all impress. Appliances are included in the sale.

Beyond this room you have the first of your bedrooms (currently enjoyed as an additional reception space). It is over 11 feet by over 8 feet, with a delightful original feature fireplace, and a large sash window to garden vistas.

The west wing of the flat first delivers your second bedroom, of over 12 feet by over 10 feet, with a sash window and opened-up fireplace. Next door is a smart internal bathroom with traditional-style sanitaryware and fittings and metro-tiling.

Finally you have your characterful principal bay-windowed bedroom, of 13 feet by over 12 feet, with another gorgeous fireplace.

A top property in a top spot! TOAD bakery is very local and lovely and worth the queue. Bellenden Road is your local high street with independent shops and restaurants including Ganapati, Artusi, The Begging Bowl, Review, Flock & Herd and The General Store.

Rye Lane and Blenheim Grove serve up more options including The Bussey and Market Buildings, Levan, Hausu, Lai Rai and Tonkotsu. In the warm months, rooftop bars are found here too, and Peckham Plex Cinema is brilliant all the year through (tickets only £5.99!). East Dulwich is easily reached for Lordship Lane’s shops, bars and restaurants, and Picturehouse cinema.

Camberwell is also close for such delights as The Camberwell Arms, (Michelin-starred) The Kerfield Arms, Silk Road, Theo’s and The South London Gallery, and the leisure centre (with Victorian pool) on Artichoke Place, plus Zen Yoga Studio at the foot of Camberwell Grove, and Butterfly Tennis Club.

Local green spaces include Warwick, Lettsom and Lucas Gardens, and Brunswick, Ruskin and Peckham Rye Parks.

Kids or thinking of? The Villa Nursery and Lyndhurst Primary School are hugely popular.
