Waller Road, New Cross

£519,950

Big and bright three double bedroom purpose-built first floor apartment of 763 square feet. A Freehold-share, a west-facing balcony and a large communal garden pleasingly complete matters. Chain free.

Find your new home within lovely and leafy Telegraph Hill Conservation Area: a delightful hillside community near excellent nursery, primary and secondary schools, plus local parks and conveniences.

Walk to your local stations (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. Like the 21 to London Bridge, the 436 to Battersea and the new zippy BL1 to whizz you to Waterloo.

In your own front door and you first have your double bedrooms: two on your left and one on your right. All have big windows and pale walls. Next on your left is the property’s windowed bathroom with separate w.c. Then at the top of the hall is your independent kitchen, with east-facing window.

Your reception room awaits - the best bit! A notably spacious room of 14 feet by over 12 feet, with a feature fireplace and a glazed door out to your private covered balcony which faces west.

This super 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, fab 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 very local 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 cool independent shops, cafes and restaurants on New Cross Road, Brockley Road, Queens Road and Nunhead Lane, alongside popular pubs.

Locally, we particularly like Corner (cafe), The Old Library Bar, Peckham Cellars, Beer Rebellion, Eagle Eats, Connie’s and Blackbird Bakery. The Rose Inn, The Earl of Derby and Skehan's are all top local public houses (the latter has fab live bands on weekends). Deptford, Peckham and Camberwell are all close for more social options.
