Waller Road, Telegraph Hill

£620,000

Charming two bedroom (sunny, SW-facing) garden flat with a long lease and its own front door. A garden studio/home office completes the offering.

Find your new super split-level home within the lovely and leafy Telegraph Hill Conservation Area: a delightful hillside community near excellent nurseries and schools plus pretty local parks and conveniences.

Walk to your local stations (Nunhead, New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham) in 10-15 minutes. There are also lots of brilliant bus routes at the foot of your street on New Cross Road.

Your own front door leads to your eat-in kitchen. This has modern fitted units. Next door is your modern bathroom with contemporary sanitaryware and traditional fittings including ‘telephone’ taps. An independent shower gives you both washing options.

Next along is your principal double bedroom, with a fitted wardrobe, and a back door out to the garden.

Take steps up in the hall and you have a good fitted cupboard and floor to ceiling bookshelves. Your second bedroom (also a double) has a bay window onto the side-return area (and another built-in closet).

At the back of the flat onto the garden you have your reception room with a double-aspect. It is over 10 feet each way with French doors opening onto your gorgeous garden which is lawned, mature, private, and stretches over 40 feet. The cute garden studio has power.

This pretty residential area (once the home of Victorian poet Robert Browning) was developed in the late C19th. It replaced market gardens owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (who controlled the development) with high-standard housing, on broad and verdant streets.

Enjoy the great connectivity of Fare Zone 2, great views, period street lamps, lovely parks, strong community spirit, and a weekly Saturday market (held in the lower park).

Local schools include Haberdashers' Hatcham College (covering 3-18) and Edmund Waller (3-11). There are also several popular nurseries.

The Hill Station community cafe and pizza place (just next to the church) is very popular with locals and visitors alike. A large Sainsbury's store sits behind NXG station for groceries, and there are independent shops, cafes and restaurants on both New Cross Road, Brockley Road and Queens Road, alongside popular pubs.

Locally, we particularly like Corner (cafe), and The Old Library Bar, Peckham Cellars, Beer Rebellion, Well & Fed, and Blackbird Bakery. The Rose Inn, The Earl of Derby and Skehan's are all top local public houses (the latter has live bands on weekends).
