Flat for sale in Hollydale Road, Peckham SE15

Viewings available Saturday 1st June and Saturday 8th June.

Architecturally-treated two bedroom Victorian conversion apartment with a mature and low-maintenance south-west facing garden (hi, sunshine!) of over 40 feet.

A fab flat and a swell location, too — you are just a seven minute walk from both Queens Road and Nunhead Stations (both Fare Zone 2).

You share a hall with the upstairs flat. From here, your own front door is on your left. Straight ahead is the door to your first double bedroom — of 13 feet by over 11 feet — with a big bay window (double-glazed sashes here) and engineered oak to the floor.

Adjacent is your second double bedroom (of over 10 feet by over 9 feet), with clever built-in storage, a double-glazed window.

Moving through the hall, next is a handy cupboard to your right (perfect for coats and such). The property’s bathroom is next on the left: A smart modern affair, with large profile travertine tiling, mirrored cabinets, a double-glazed window, and an over-bath shower.

The kitchen is up next; hosting smart wall and base units in two colours, Carrara marble counters, Miele, Bosch and Neff appliances (including induction hob), Vitsoe 606 open shelving, and a glazed door to a pleasing courtyard space (you can access this from the reception as well).

Your big and bright reception seals the deal. This is over 15 feet by over 14 feet, with custom-made storage and seating, an airy ceiling with two large roof lights, and folding doors onto the generous and well-stocked Potager-garden, with established fruit trees. A useful summer house/shed (with power) completes your tour.

Thoughtful design details can be found throughout the apartment; Ketley Quarry Tiles (as used in the Barbican) flow down the hall, through the kitchen, reception room and out into the back garden. A vintage Louis Poulsen 4/3 pendant lamp lights the second bedroom, Alvar Alto A110 Hand Grenade pendants hang elegantly above the dining table whilst architectural hidden LED lights (warm, and dimmable) bathe the rest of the reception area in soft lighting. Farrow & Ball paint, hidden appliances and plug sockets, Nest smart thermostats, and underfloor heating in the reception room finish off the well-considered spaces.

The qrp area is attracting more attention than ever before, with an impressive number of eateries, drinkeries and shopping opportunities; these include Kudu’s outlets, Peckham Cellars, Well & Fed, Beer Rebellion, Vintique (vintage furniture), Blackbird Bakery and Mamma Dough pizzeria. There’s also a handy Tesco store and cash point by the station.

Walk 13 minutes west for Rye Lane and Bellenden Road and more foodie, social and shopping options.

Nunhead has your closest high street area. Here we love the classics: Ayres bakery and Soper’s wet fish shop, and the pretty Victorian library on Gordon Road. El Vermut and Mother Superior are nice bottle shops with a few tables. Goodcup is great for coffee, and has recently opened downstairs as well, for stronger libations.

Peckham Bazaar (delicious pan-Balkan fayre and wine list) is an easy walk also, for a delicious dinner.

Heading east, you’ll land on New Cross for nice pubs plus contemporary art gallery (Goldsmiths cca).

Green space? Telegraph Hill’s parks are really close (check out the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays at the lower park), plus Peckham Rye Park & Common’s 113 acres.

Local Nunhead Cemetery is beautiful and one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’. Nunhead Green is much smaller but close, as is little Kirkwood Nature Reserve. Sydenham Woods and Dulwich Park are a short drive.

For more options, Greenwich Park and Blackheath and their village-vibe centres are an easy car journey (15 minutes), bus or cycle ride. East Dulwich’s lovely Lordship Lane is close too, and North Cross Road’s Saturday market (alongside its cute shops) is not to be missed.

Local schools and nurseries are very good and include Edmund Waller, Ivydale and Hollydale (primaries), and St Thomas the Apostle (secondary and sixth form).
