Waveney Avenue, Nunhead

£2,295,000

Architecturally-treated (SAM Architects) Victorian semi-detached house. A well-stocked pro-landscaped garden of nearly 60 feet completes the terrific turnkey offering.

Find your new dream home on a tree-lined street; a quiet offshoot of park-side Peckham Rye. You are away from the hustle and bustle, yet so well-connected! Peckham Rye Station and Nunhead Station are both but a circa 15 minute walk. The town centres of Peckham and Nunhead are also pleasingly close for shops, cafes and restaurants etc. East Dulwich is also easily-walkable.

The house has so many winning features (beyond the fab design ones). Some of our highlights include the Sonos speaker system, the cast-iron radiators, the micro-cement flooring (in kitchen and bathrooms), and the spiral staircase.

Open into your high-ceilinged hall, and generous bespoke coat closets rest to your immediate right. Double-doors beyond (also to your right) open to your massive through-reception - which runs over 32 feet! Library-shelving (in solid oak) impresses. And French doors further feature, out to the garden.

Your gorgeous garden hosts silver birch, acers and fruit trees, and a National Trust shed.

Moving down the hall, next on your left is a downstairs/guest w.c. Then at the back of the house you have a jaw-dropper of a double-aspect kitchen/dining room (running over 30 feet by over 11 feet). There is so much to impress in here! We particularly like the terrazzo worktop, the finned ceiling, solid oak detailing (including the open shelving) and garden vistas.

On the appliance-front, top-notch ones are included in the sale, bien sur. These include a Miele dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, two Neff ovens and a Neff induction hob.

Up the stairs and from the half-landing you have a little lobby then a double bedroom straight ahead (of over 11 feet by over 9 feet) and a full bathroom, to your right - with high-end contemporary suite and fittings.

Next up is another generous double - of over 14 feet by over 11 feet. Then at the front of the house you have a guest suite: a large dressing room (with floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes) leading onto a large bedroom of over 17 feet by over 11 feet. This has its own en suite bathroom.

Up the stairs again and you have another impressive bedroom and bathroom plus lobby, much like on the first floor. Then at the top of the house (an extension and conversion of the former loft space), you have a huge and final fifth bedroom - of over 17 feet by over 16 feet. This has direct access to a balcony (skyline views are so great up here!), and easy access to generous eaves storage to boot.

Green space is the order of the day round this way. Super spots locally - beyond Peckham Rye Park and Common's lovely 113 acres - include Nunhead Cemetery, Horniman Gardens, Telegraph Hill Park, and Goose Green.

You will not need to venture far for a spectacular feed or evening out. Locally, check out Mr Bao, Peckham Bazaar and Banh Banh. Or trot a teeny bit further for Bellenden Road/Blenheim Grove - here we like Artusi, Il Giardino, Ganapati and The Begging Bowl. Rye Lane is also local for The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex, and Peckham Levels, as well as fruit and veg stalls, banks and handy high street shops.

Local pubs include The Angel Oak, The Clock House, The Ivy House, The Herne Tavern and The White Horse.

Nunhead’s high street is close for Kudu Grill, The Old Nun’s Head, Ayres (bakery) and FC Soper (wet fish shop), plus a popular community centre by AOC architects, on the green. BARD4100 is fab for pizzas, and Goodcup/Goodnights is great for coffees and cocktails. El Vermut and Mother Superior are nice spots too.

For more options, East Dulwich, Camberwell, Brockley, Deptford and New Cross are all within easy reach.

Kids or they are on the horizon? Handily, you have two nurseries on the street. The Villa is also popular - a short drive away, on Lyndhurst Grove. Local primary schools include Ivydale and Edmund Waller. The Dulwich independent schools are but a short drive away.
