£475,000

Sale Agreed

Viewings from Monday 4th November.

A former brick-built bank building of Victorian-era hosts this delightful one bedroom apartment set at ground floor level, with a Freehold-share, its own front door, and a low-maintenance paved ‘city’ garden (with gated side access plus direct access from the flat).

The location impresses as well: directly opposite Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres. Dreamy!

For train travel, Peckham Rye Station is a 10 minute walk, and it is 14 to East Dulwich Station. Both are Fare Zone 2.

Your local high street areas are found on Rye Lane, Lordship Lane, East Dulwich Road, Forest Hill Road and Nunhead Lane.

In your front door and a large main open-plan room greets you, with engineered oak to the floor. The room runs 25 feet at its longest section into the windowed kitchen area. The fitted kitchen is a timeless Shaker-style paired with wooden worktops. Slim-profile and south-facing glazed doors fold open onto your private garden - we love the pergola and established wisteria here.

From a little lobby beyond the reception it is a right for your carpeted bedroom. This is over 11 feet by over 10 feet, and has a double-glazed window and a built-in wardrobe.

Lastly, find your modern bathroom. It has a frosted double-glazed window, an over-bath shower, travertine tiling and a heated towel radiator.

This is a superb spot for accessing central Peckham, East Dulwich and Nunhead. You have also got some lovely pubs nearby - in The Herne Tavern, The Clockhouse, Watson’s General Telegraph, The White Horse, The Gowlett and The Angel Oak.

Bellenden Road and Lordship Lane are both but a 10 minute walk for independent shopping and restaurants of the highest order (our faves are Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Franklins).

You also have a handful of top spots at the top point of Peckham Rye (Funkidory, Mr Bao and Bahn Bahn are a few examples), and there is a great foodie Saturday market on North Cross Road.

For cinema dates, you have the choice of Dulwich Picturehouse or Peckham Plex for £5.99 films.

Keeping fit? East Dulwich leisure centre is close with swimming pool, gym and classes, or sign up for British Military Fitness in the park. You are also close to plenty of boutique gyms and yoga studios.
