2 bed flat for sale

York Grove, Peckham SE15

Who doesn’t love a garden flat? This deftly-extended long-leased Victorian one with two double bedrooms is a scrummy example

Your new pad is 760 square feet and delivers direct access to the low-maintenance west-facing garden (from your reception room, and there is also gated street access from neighbouring Dayton Grove). Parking is unrestricted on the street.

This is a notably quiet spot (York Grove is a no-through-street) yet you are really close to all of the action, and winning-at-life close to Queens Road Peckham Station: Just four minutes by foot! For regular rail and Windrush line services. You are also a mere 15 minute walk from both Nunhead Station and Peckham Rye Station, and from Nunhead’s high street area and Rye Lane.

You share a hall and front door then it is a left for your own front door. To the front of the house you have your principal bedroom, complete with a bank of built-in wardrobes. Triple-glazed sash windows grace the bay and the outlook is nice onto the front garden.

Next door is the property’s bathroom: A sleek affair, with contemporary sanitaryware and fittings (including the over-bath shower), plus large profile tiling.

Bedroom two is up next. This is a respectable double of over 11 feet by nearly 9 feet, with double-glazed doors to a cute courtyard.

Down the hall and there is a door to your right which gets you to the cellar space (so useful for storage). Then straight ahead you open to your brilliant main room with a double aspect, and which runs over 26 feet. Enjoy lots of space for zoning lounge, dining and hobby/work areas. A trio of skylight windows and a westerly orientation makes for a really bright space, and folding doors open at the foot of the room to seamlessly connect the outside space to the inside. Entertaining here is a must. Your kitchen units are a smart and modern style (integrated appliances are included in the sale) and engineered oak flooring further impresses.

What’s around? Really locally, you have a couple of yummy bakeries/cafes in the arches by qrp Station plus a very new pizza place: Connie’s. Peckham Cellars (restaurant and wine shop) is close, too.

Bellenden Road and Rye Lane serve up more options (a handful of recommendations are Ganapati, Forza Wine, Artusi and The Begging Bowl), and Peckham Bazaar is nearby on Consort Road.

You are a short walk from Peckham Library and leisure centre plus canal path through Burgess Park, and you are also close to New Cross; for Goldsmiths University, a cool contemporary art gallery (Goldsmiths cca), and Telegraph Hill’s pretty Victorian parks.

Nunhead, Dulwich, Camberwell, Greenwich and Brixton are also close for markets, parks, and more places to eat, drink and spend your pennies and weekends.

Offspring or thinking of? Local nursery and primary provision includes Kender, Edmund Waller and Hatcham primaries, and Monkey Puzzle, Smart Kids and Stepping Stones nurseries.
