Peckham Rye, Peckham

£450,000

Offers in excess of £450,000.

A former brick-built bank building of Victorian-era hosts this delightful one bedroom apartment set at ground floor level, with a cool layout, a Freehold-share, and its own front door.

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

There is secure gated access to the side of the building. In your front door and a main open-plan reception/dining room greets you directly, with super ceiling height, and engineered oak to the floor. The room runs nearly 24 feet! Three SW-facing double-glazed windows keep matters bright.

Your kitchen is down three steps, and the fitted units are of a timeless Shaker-style. It is a great setup for entertaining.

Cleverly, the bathroom is set above the kitchen - on a mezzanine level. This gets its light from a large rectangle of glass bricks, and it features a modern white suite.

Finally, find your carpeted bedroom. This is a good double, with a deep built-in closet.

You are looking at such a fab 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 or join in on the popular Saturday park run. You are also close to plenty of boutique gyms and yoga studios.
