Ivydale Road, Nunhead

£1,250,000

Beautiful three double bedroom red-brick Victorian end of terrace house of 1422 square feet, with a delightful part-walled west-facing garden with direct and side access.

There is an awful lot to love here! Period features include big bay windows, high ceilings, stripped floors, multiple period fireplaces, and a wood-burning stove. The bay-fronted home also has a generous loft/there is obvious scope to extend up, should you wish for more space at a later date.

This is a top spot as well: a popular residential street, with Ivydale Primary School just a few minutes away. Walk 12 minutes to Nunhead Station, or to Brockley Station in 18 (both are Fare Zone 2).

You’re also blissfully-close to Peckham Rye Park and Common and to Nunhead Cemetery - one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’.

A neat front walled garden sets the house back from the street. In your lovely front door and you land in a large and light windowed hall.

Your bayed front reception rests to your left - this is over 17 feet by over 15 feet (impressive!), with custom-made alcove storage, ceiling rose, coving and picture rail detail.

Adjacent is the huge and double-aspect kitchen/dining room, of over 23 feet by over 12 feet. Another bay window is a welcome feature (south-facing so a notably sunny spot) and a natural place to pop table and chairs for casual through to formal dining.

The fitted kitchen has timeless Shaker-style wall and base units in two tones, topped with wooden worktops. The room hosts two exits on your two external walls out to the garden (a back door and folding doors as well).

Your garden gets loads of afternoon sun thanks to the westerly orientation. It is largely laid to lawn and well-established, with a pleasing seating area and pergola to its foot.

Up to your first floor and to the front of the house are two large bedrooms. The larger/master bedroom (above the front room) is over 15 feet by over 13 feet, with bay window to street views. Custom-made shutters grace the sash windows here. Also impressive is the central feature fireplace with marble-surround and decorative tiling.

The double bedroom next door is over 13 feet by over 9 feet, and enjoys a double-aspect (as it takes the corner position on the building).

To the rear of the floor you have a third double bedroom (of over 13 feet by over 12 feet) and a smart and modern windowed bathroom, with an additional independent windowed w.c. next door. If you did decide to exploit the loft space in the future m you would likely choose to run the stairs from here, losing the extra w.c.

The area? Nunhead’s high street has a pleasing offering of independent shops and places to eat and drink. We rate Kudu Grill, El Vermut, BARD4100, Mother Superior and Goodcup. Established local favourite grocery shops are FC Soper wet fish shop and Ayres bakery. The Nunhead Gardener is a top tip too, close to the station. You also have a village-style green with playground area.

For more options, Peckham, New Cross, Brockley, Deptford and Dulwich are a short distance. In East Dulwich we recommend Dulwich Picturehouse (on Lordship Lane) and North Cross Road Saturday market.

Local school provision is strong - with Ivydale Primary and Nursery most local to you, and Edmund Waller Primary School and Haberdashers’ (3-18) close as well. The Dulwich independent schools are a short drive or cycle.
