Sale Agreed

Architecturally-treated five bedroom home over four full floors, of the finest order. An east-facing garden in excess of 100 feet completes the wow-factor package.

The wonderfully-wide and tall townhouse is early-Victorian, built in 1841. It rests on a popular street of similarly-grand homes, opposite Warwick Gardens.

You are situated just a few minutes from Bellenden Road and five from Peckham Rye Station.

The property has been recently thoroughly and luxuriously renovated by the current owners, with a pleasing no-expense-spared approach. Treats and expert finishes are too many to mention but include a Poggenpohl kitchen with Gagganau appliances (400 series), Boffi bathrooms, Miloni tiles and Element 7 wooden floors.

The decorative scheme also impresses, with neutral hues to internal walls from Farrow & Ball and Little Greene throughout.

Beautiful reclaimed railings impress from the off. The lower storeys of the building’s facade host a mature wisteria. Take smart stone steps to the smartest of front doors.

A large and light hall welcomes you (ceilings soar!). Take a left for your huge east/west double-reception, extending over 24 feet. A solid marble fireplace, gorgeous coving detail and original restored wooden shutters to the two front sash windows and the rear central sash, feature.

The lower ground floor is home to your incredible kitchen and dining space. Enjoy full east-facing glazing (sleek slim-profile sliding doors) onto the glorious, extensive walled garden - with water feature and many sourced plants from Chelsea Flower Show.

There is also a generous family room (of over 14 feet by over 12 feet) to the front of the house, and off here, find your independent laundry/utility room, with Boffi sink and Poggenpohl top cupboards.

Heading up to the first floor, first find the first of your two divine bathrooms. Both give garden views from large sash windows. This one has an independent walk-in shower.

From the main first landing is a generous double to your right (of over 12 feet by over 11 feet, with a beautiful bank of floor to ceiling wardrobes), and a huge master bedroom spanning the width of the house (it is over 19 feet by over 12 feet, with three sash windows).

Another big bathroom is up next (with useful storage/airing cupboards by its entrance). Then you have a double bedroom to the rear of the second floor, and a double and large single bedroom/home office to the front. Both of the doubles boast bespoke built-in cupboards to their respective alcoves.

You are just a short stroll from Peckham Rye Station (Fare Zone 2, and on the London Overground network), Bellenden Road, Warwick Gardens, The Belham School, and The Villa Nursery and Pre-Preparatory School. And the Dulwich Independent Schools are but a short drive.

On the independent-shopping bit of Bellenden Road, you’ll find many delights – such as Ganapati, Artusi, The Victoria Inn and The Begging Bowl, plus Review book store, Gather, Flock & Herd, Stuart Ross (hairdresser) and The General Store. And Petitou is a sweet spot for coffee, cake and quiche on nearby Choumert Road.

Rye Lane is also close for more shopping options (fruit & veg markets, high street shops and supermarkets), Peckham Levels and The Bussey and Market Buildings. In the summer months, think rooftop and go vertical (Frank's Cafe and Forza Wine are top options).

Central Camberwell is also close – here we like South London Gallery, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Hermits Cave, Forza Win, The Camberwell Arms, The Crooked Well, Gladwell's (luxury groceries) and Theo's.

For further social and shopping opportunities, Nunhead, Brixton, Herne Hill and East Dulwich are all local (North Cross Road in ED does a fab Saturday market).
