Gibbon Road, Nunhead

£599,950

Architecturally-treated one bedroom terraced house, which is winning-at-life close to Nunhead Station and central Nunhead's high street shopping.

This is a smart (in all senses) first or second home or London bolthole - with good storage and great features at every pivot, accompanied by a sunny west-facing landscaped garden of over 30 feet.

A small front yard is a nice welcome and sets you back from your cul de sac's pavement. Open your front door and you land in a huge open-plan room - which cleverly incorporates lounge, dining, kitchen and study spaces. With glazing at both ends of the room, matters are always bright, and the view onto the garden (via slim profile glazed doors plus an additional floor to ceiling window) is delightful. Cool cork flooring looks and works fab throughout the entire ground floor.

Your sleek fitted kitchen has ply and open-shelf detail. Appliances here are included. Beyond the kitchen area is a double-aspect study/hobby space, complete with fitted desk and shelving.

Up to the top of the stairs and on your right is a door to a generous storage loft. Next along is the immaculate (Velux-windowed) contemporary shower room, with large profile tiles and on-trend monochrome fittings.

Finally, to the front of the house, you have your roomy double bedroom. This is over 9 feet by nearly 14 feet, with built-in wardrobes, two double-glazed windows, and a cute shelf. You can access further attic storage from this room as well.

Nunhead Station (Fare Zone 2) is all of a three minute walk. It has Thameslink trains and a notable skyline view from the platforms. Or walk about half a mile to Queens Road Peckham station (also Zone 2) for added Overground services. Brockley Station is close, too - walk 15 minutes (also has Overground services). Canary Wharf is easy via Canada Water, also destinations such as Clapham Junction or Shoreditch High Street.

Nunhead’s town centre/high street has a central green and excellent and established staples - like Ayre’s bakery and Soper’s wet-fish shop. Other treats include BARD4100, Goodcup/Goodnights, Mother Superior and El Vermut (these last too are bottle/deli shops). Plus Alkemi Store (a concept store) and Mosey Cafe and PopBox Art. The Nunhead Gardener is also very local to you, on Oakdale Road.

Skehan’s - Time Out's 'Best Pub in London', no less - is just a five minute walk away. The Old Nun’s Head (on Nunhead Green) and The Earl of Derby (on Dennett’s Road) are also solid locals. Nunhead Green has a friendly community centre by AOC Architects.

It is a short stroll to Telegraph Hill's pretty Victorian parks, and also to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres. And Nunhead Cemetery is a beautiful and historic one (one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’) with organised tours.
