Lyndhurst Way, Peckham Rye

£699,950

Wonderfully-positioned two bedroom flat over two floors (upper ones: first and second) with a generous private south-facing balcony and pretty park views, within Holly Grove Conservation Area.

Each flat has a handy and easily-accessible cellar storage area, too - the handsome iconic building used to be a Victorian pub. Chain free.

Walk five minutes to Peckham Rye Station, and you are but a few strides to Warwick Gardens and Bellenden Road. The flat is smart and modernised - you can move right on in, it is ready to go!

In the communal door and take the stairs to the first floor where you’ll find your own front door. You land in a generous and windowed hall, where the stairs lead up to the bedrooms and bathroom to the left of the doorway ahead.

On through and you arrive in the impressive and south-facing reception that’s open-plan to the kitchen. The room stretches over 18 feet by nearly 15, with a deep under stairs cupboard (which is great for storing cleaning bits etc.) Both the floors and kitchen counters are solid wood. The kitchen units are gloss white and handle-free and you have white square tiling and open shelving detail as well.

Two large windows and French doors look onto the decked balcony - a real sun-trap owing to its orientation - and a jolly nice place to watch the world go by. You’ll have to deal with the envious glances up is all!

On the second floor you have a slick bathroom with white sanitaryware and fittings (including over bath shower) in contemporary style. And two smart bedrooms (of over 11 feet by 10 feet, and over 7 feet by nearly 10). Both rooms have wooden floors and neutral hues to the walls.

Locations don’t get much better than this. You are in the heart of Posh Peckham! With Bellenden Road, Choumert Road, Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane all a short walk for cafes, bars, restaurants, independent shopping, markets and handy high street offerings and banks as well.

We particularly like local restaurants Ganapati (who deliver too), Artusi and The Begging Bowl. Head to Petitou and for a cracking coffee and a people-watch. You are also close to Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex plus Market Building. Don’t miss the roof top summer bars and film club! Camberwell and Dulwich are also close for more options.

Local pubs have not all been turned into flats. Check out The Victoria Inn, The Prince Albert, The Monteplier and The White Horse - all within easy peasy walking distance.

Warwick Gardens is your closest green space, or venture a little further to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres, or Burgess or Ruskin Parks or Lettsom Gardens.
