Joseph Hardcastle Close, New Cross

£399,950

Tidy two double bed top floor modern-build flat of 581 square feet, in a quiet residential close which is just an eight minute walk from New Cross Gate Station.

Your new pad has a designated parking space, a great layout, and far-reaching views. Pleasingly the sale is chain free.

Take the stairs from your shared hall to the third and final floor where you’ll find your own front door. Your bedrooms rest to the left of the hall. The second bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a windowed en-suite shower room.

The main bathroom is to your right of the hall - with modern white sanitary ware, large profile wall tiles, and a heated towel rail.

The door on your right past the bathroom reveals the main event: a big and bright reception/dining room/kitchen which boasts three windows in all (as you have the corner position in the building).

Walk just eight minutes to New Cross Gate Station; Fare Zone 3 and on the Overground network. 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, Bermondsey and Lewisham.

Local parks include Fordham, Deptford and Telegraph Hill parks. There are also two little neighbourhood ones: 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), Stockton and The Dog & Bell pub to name a few. Deptford also has a popular theatre: The Albany, and a modern leisure centre with lane and kids’ pools, 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).
