Kirkwood Road, Nunhead

Very lovely flat-fronted Victorian terrace, just shy of 1000 square feet. Find your new home on a quiet, tree-lined street in central Nunhead, close to Nunhead’s high street and Nunhead Green Conservation Area. 

The handsome house hosts three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), a large kitchen/diner stretching over 22 feet, a double-reception, a smart bathroom, and a sunny landscaped garden of around 50 feet - which faces west with a twist of south. 

Welcome period features include a handsome fireplace in the reception room and coving and picture rails in many of the rooms. 

For stations, you are positioned between a choice of three! Nunhead (walk 8 minutes), Queen’s Road Peckham (10) and Peckham Rye (14). All are Fare Zone 2 and the latter two offer London Overground in addition to main line services. Parking is currently unrestricted, on-street. 

A small and neat front garden sets the house back from the pavement. Entry is through a sunny yellow painted front door with glazed panels. 

Open into the smart hall, noting the beautiful solid wood herringbone parquet flooring, which runs through the reception rooms as well.

Swing a left into the double-reception of 22 feet by nearly 12. Custom-made shutters grace the large front sash window. Book-shelving has been fitted to one alcove. 

The rear reception space lends itself to formal dining, and French, timber framed glazed doors open directly out to the side return area of the garden. 

An understairs cupboard accessed from the hall is handy for cleaning bits and coats. 

The huge, double-aspect kitchen/diner is delightful - with slick and fitted white gloss wall and base units, modern stainless steel handles and solid oak counters.

The dining area is a well-executed extension to the building’s original footprint, and features a skylight window and folding double-glazed doors that open to the garden. 

Large profile tiles look and work great inside and out, and pull off that ‘seamless’ experience when moving from one to the other. Garden parties are a must! 

The garden itself is fairly low-maintenance by design. It’s splendidly green out here, with the mature trees in neighbouring gardens making you think you are a lot further out that Zone 2! There is outside lighting by the house and a shed as well. 

Up the stairs and you will find a large principal bedroom with two timber-framed sash windows across the front (15 feet by 11 feet). A Built-in alcove wardrobes impress. 

A second double bedroom sits adjacent (10 feet by nearly 10 feet) with a sash window to garden vistas. 

Set at the very rear of the house is a single bedroom (or enjoy it as a home office), and next to this is the property’s modern bathroom - with contemporary white suite, pale tiling, an overbath shower and large skylight window.

What is local? Central Nunhead’s got a busy community centre by AOC Architects (classes etc.) and some excellent independent staples: Ayre’s bakery and Soper’s wet fish shop, for example. 

Further fine establishments include Kudu Grill, BARD4100, The Old Nun’s Head, El Vermut and Goodcup/Goodnights (all are on Nunhead Lane itself). And Peckham Bazaar on nearby Consort Road is the hottest table in SE15, with pan-Balkan cuisine and a winning wine list. 

The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex is also a short walk from your door for the trendiest of eateries, drinkeries, exhibitions and the like (there is even a rooftop bar and cinema in the warm months). 

The ‘triangle’ at the end of Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres is also awash with places to eat, drink and hang out; Mr Bao (Asian), Banh Banh (Vietnamese), Voodoo Ray’s (pizza) and Funkidory (cocktails) being a handful. 

Bellenden Road, Choumert Road and Rye Lane provide more food and drink options (we especially rate Artusi, The Begging Bowl. Ganapati and The Sourcing Table) and Peckham Plex Cinema is a long-established favourite, committed to affordable movie watching (all tickets are £5.99). 

Camberwell, New Cross and Deptford are also no great distance.

Children or thinking of? Local primaries include Edmund Waller, Ivydale, Hollydale, Rye Oak and St Mary Magdalene (C of E). Banana Moon Day Nursery on Machell Road is also close.
