Highshore Road, Peckham Rye

£375,000

Sunny central-Peckham third floor one bedroom apartment of 420 square feet. Very long leasehold.

You are just a few minutes from Peckham Rye Station, within ‘The Catcher Building’: a seriously-smart repurposed office building of 31 luxury units.

The slick and standout building was designed by Calico Architects, and delivered by EHA group.

The location puts you slap bang in the heart of the ever-popular Peckham Rye area - with Rye Lane, Bellenden Road and Peckham Rye Park and Common all at your feet in minutes.

Your own front door is on the third floor (get here via stairs or lift). From your hall/lobby, a swish shower room rests to your left. Traditional-style sanitary ware impresses here, paired with metro-style tiling.

Next door is the bedroom - a good double - with built-in wardrobes and massive east-facing windows (which take pretty much the whole of the wall).

The main room awaits: a large and light open-plan reception/kitchen/dining space in corner position, with fab south-facing and east-facing windows and long street views (you can see Canary Wharf too, to the east). A big built-in storage cupboard ticks another box. As throughout the building, high-quality double-glazing keeps matters calm.

The smart fitted kitchen units are contemporary in style, and house integrated appliances. Slim profile stone counters feature here as well. As throughout (excepting the bathroom), engineered oak floors impress.

A communal terrace and bike store completes the tour.

What a winning spot this is - with loads of excellent eateries and drinkeries close by. These include Artusi, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Mr Bao and Forza Wine. Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building are always popular. Peckham Plex on Rye Lane (where you’ll also find handy shops, banks and food stalls) is dedicated to low-cost cinema-going, and in the warm months, you can go rooftop for cool bars and views.

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