1 bed flat to rent

Water Lane, London SE14

Property Reference: 2719333.

Smart and spacious one bedroom first floor modern flat of 478 square feet, in New Cross's Avonley Village. The property pleasingly comes with a dedicated parking space.

Your nearest stations are New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham; both are Fare Zone 2 and yours within 10-15 minutes by foot. Excellent bus routes will serve you well too - from nearby Old Kent Road.

The Avonley Village development - built in a modern style some three decades ago, incorporating historic Victorian hospital buildings - comprises terraced houses and well-proportioned flats, and is set just over the road from Hatcham Conservation Area (a solely-residential area, featuring Victorian housing stock in the main).

The apartment has a calm position in a small and low-rise block. A main front door has secure entry. Take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door.

Your hall hosts a couple of built-in cupboards. Directly on your right is an internal bathroom, with white sanitaryware and an over-bath shower. Straight ahead is your large and light reception room, of over 14 feet by over 12 feet, with oversized windows. There is plenty of space to zone seating and dining areas and the walls are a pretty grey hue.

Your double-aspect kitchen is set off the reception room. Neat fitted wall and base units with stainless steel handles impress. Appliances (most are integrated) are staying for you.

Finally (left from your front door/hall), you have your spacious double bedroom completing the tour.

This is a quiet tucked-away spot yet you are seriously well-connected. It is an easy (and flat!) stroll to either qrp or New Cross Gate stations. There are also plenty of day and night bus routes within a short walk of the house; to Elephant & Castle and beyond, or to Peckham, Deptford, Greenwich, Brockley and Lewisham.

Local parks include Telegraph Hill (Upper and Lower, with a community cafe between the two and a Saturday market, or hop on a bus down to Brockley Market) and Fordham Parks. There are also three little neighbourhood parks: Eckington Gardens, Bridgehouse Meadows and Hatcham Gardens. Besson Street Community Garden is a delightful local asset as well.

You can also walk or cycle to Southwark Park; The Angel pub (just beyond the far side of the park) has unbeatable riverside views.

Local eateries, drinkeries and cafes of note include Corner (cafe plus late opening too), The Old Library (bar), The Rose Inn and The Earl of Derby.

Nip down to neighbouring SE15 for more - including Peckham Bazaar, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Artusi, Levan, Peckham Levels and Il Giardino.

Cool Deptford has a top gastronomic and bar offering as well. We rate Deli X, Watergate (small plates, cocktails, wine), Marcella, Salt (pizza, craft beer) and The Dog & Bell pub to name a few. Deptford also has a popular theatre: The Albany, and a modern leisure centre with lane pool, next door to the library.

New Cross is home to Goldsmiths University and a cool contemporary art gallery: Goldsmiths cca.

Grab your fresh loaves from Blackbird Bakery by qrp station, or at Ayres on nearby Nunhead Lane. While you're in Nunhead, check out such delights as Soper's (wet fish shop), El Vermut and Mother Superior (fancy bottle shops with tables), Goodcup (coffee shop) and Bar D4100 (bar and pizza).
