Large and light lateral conversion flat with two double bedrooms, a large basement (of 345 square feet), and a private garden. Chain free.

The smart and double-glazed property is largely on the first floor (at ground floor level you have your own front door and hall, and you access your garden space and cellar here) of two bay-fronted Victorian terraces.

Find the apartment on a favoured residential street within Hatcham Conservation Area, close to Hatcham Primary School.

Your local stations? Are New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham. Both are a 12 minute walk. Bus travel is easy from here, too.

Car parking is unrestricted on Edric and surrounding streets, and a large bike hangar has recently been installed just across the road.

In your own front door and take the stairs up to the landing. Your bedrooms rest to your right; these are both large, of 15 feet by nearly 11 feet, and with two windows each.

A modern shower room is next up, with large profile white tiling. Next door you have your open-plan reception/kitchen/dining room, of over 18 feet by over 11 feet. As throughout, walls are fresh and white.

A bit about the area: Hatcham CA is a quiet tucked-away residential pocket of south London. From 1614, the land was owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. When the manor house (‘Hatcham Park’) was demolished circa 1840, terraced homes were permitted to be built. Rescued from demolition in the seventies, Hatcham Conservation Area was designated by Lewisham Council in 1990.

Stroll - passing further Victorian housing stock - 12 minutes New Cross Gate Station. 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 Saturday Farmers’ Market, or hop on a bus down to Brockley Market), Southwark and Fordham Parks. There are also two little neighbourhood parks: Eckington Gardens and Bridgehouse Meadows. Besson Street Community Garden is a delightful local asset as well.

Local eateries, drinkeries and cafes of note include Corner (cafe), The Old Library (bar), The Rosemary (Hungarian, delicious!), The Rose Inn and The Earl of Derby.

Nip down to neighbouring SE15 for more - including Kudu’s outlets, Peckham Bazaar, Ganapati, Artusi, Levan, Peckham Levels, Miss Tapas, Miss Tapas and Il Giardino.

Cool Deptford has a top gastronomic and bar offering too. 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 too), Goodcup (coffee shop) and Bar D4100 (bar and pizza).
