Peckham Grove, Peckham

£450,000

Big and bright two bed (and two bath) warehouse-style apartment with impressive dimensions, exposed brickwork, huge windows, high ceilings, and oversized doors to boot. The cherry on top is a private designated parking space.

Find your new pad in a smart low-rise residential setting, in a notably quiet spot between Peckham and Camberwell centres, really close to Burgess Park’s delightful 56 hectares (lake, cafe, tennis and sports courts here).

There is secure entry to the building, and communal areas are generous and well-maintained. Take the lift or stairs up to the third floor, for your own front door. You open into a neat lobby/hall, with built-in coat/cleaning cupboard to your right.

Left from the front door is your large principal bedroom, which pleasingly hosts an en suite bathroom (with contemporary fittings, large profile wall tiling, and an over-bath shower).

Adjacent is a comfortable double bedroom - of over 11 feet by over 8 feet. Both bedrooms have pale carpets.

Next up is a modern shower room, which doubles as a guest w.c. Both bathrooms were fitted in 2022.

Last but not least is the main event: your spacious open-plan main room - with seating, dining and kitchen spaces. The fitted kitchen (new to 2023) is a sleek modern fitted one, with integrated appliances (which you’ll be pleased to hear are included in the sale).

Peckham and Camberwell and their respective stations (Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill) are both a 15-20 minute walk - for Windrush and regular rail services. There are also excellent bus routes on your doorstep and from Peckham Road/Camberwell Church Street, to Elephant & Castle or Oval tube stations and beyond.

For the fitness-focused, there is a very local Puregym on Southampton Way (as well as leisure centres in Peckham and Camberwell). And Burgess Park has a popular parkrun each Saturday at 9am.

Socialising? Both of your local town centres have lots on offer including (in SE15) Bellenden and Choumert Roads, Blenheim Grove and trendiest Rye Lane with rooftop bars, cinema and brilliant restaurants. Examples are Ganapati, Levan, Artusi, The Begging Bowl, Miss Tapas and Mr Bao.

In SE5, we rate The Camberwell Arms, Theo’s, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Forza Win and The Crooked Well. For easy-reach groceries there is a small Tesco store on Southampton Way. For luxury ones, check out Gladwell’s and TOAD bakery in strollable Camberwell.
