Choumert Road, Peckham Rye

£575,000

Sale Agreed

Delightful one double bedroom flat with direct access to a private part-walled paved and lawned garden of over 35 feet.

The flat works great as is; there is also scope to extend at the back and to the side, to bag yourself an extra bedroom (subject to relevant permissions).

The property takes the ground floor of a bay-fronted Victorian end of terrace house. There is just one flat above you (you share a hall).

The location is something to smile about, too: a dishy, always-requested tree-lined Victorian in the main SE15 street, which intersects Bellenden Road. Locally, it is referred to as the Champs-Élysées of Peckham!

Residents enjoy permit-parking (restrictions applying 9-11am; keeping those pesky park and ride commuters at bay!). Walk just seven minutes to Peckham Rye Station for Fare Zone 2 trains. You’re also very close to Bellenden Road, Rye Lane and Warwick Gardens.

You open your own front door directly into your sunny living room. It is a good size of over 13 feet by over 11 feet. Stripped floors, a period feature fireplace, sash windows to the bay and a slimline column radiator all impress.

Next along is your notably quiet bedroom (of over 10 feet by nearly 10 feet), with fresh white walls and a sash to the side-return area of the garden.

Your fitted kitchen rests at the foot of the hall (this is a modern fitted affair with wooden worktops, metro-tiles to the walls, and smart square terracotta tiles to the floor).

Beyond the kitchen is a little lobby then a modern (double-glazed-windowed) bathroom with generous and attractive wash-stand storage, an over bath shower, and gorgeous herringbone tiling.

You are mere steps from independent shop, cafe, bar and restaurant life. Peckham’s rather a hot spot for socialising for all ages. On Bellenden Road, we particularly love Ganapati, Artusi, The Sourcing Table and The Begging Bowl. Rye Lane is a short stroll further for high street shops and fruit and veg markets, as well as Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, rooftop bars and other pop-ups.

East Dulwich, Camberwell, Nunhead and Herne Hill are also close for further options.

Peckham Rye Station is close for regular and Overground services, and East Dulwich Station is only a tad further (walk 12 minutes). Services to London Bridge and Victoria, Clapham Junction and Canada Water (for Canary Wharf) make the commute or evening or weekend adventures a walk in the park.

And if a walk in the park’s what you’re after… local green spaces include Warwick Gardens, Lettsom Gardens, Peckham Rye Park & Common and Ruskin Park.
