Rosendale Road, Herne Hill

£325,000

Sale Agreed

Architect owned and designed one double bedroom ground floor purpose-built flat. The perfect pad is set in an attractive and interesting historic cluster of period buildings, really close to Brockwell Park and central Herne Hill. Walk just nine minutes to Herne Hill Station. Chain free.

George Peabody was an American banker, philanthropist and social visionary; he created the Peabody Trust in 1862 - devoted to creating homes for the ‘artisans and labouring poor of London’. The Peabody Estate at Rosendale Road consists of a mixture of flats and cottages, built between 1902 and 1908.

Back to the flat itself! In your own front door and a little lobby area is a nice welcome, with a built-in cupboard. Your independent kitchen is directly ahead, with south-west facing double-glazed window (the sunny orientation of the apartment is very pleasing!). The fitted kitchen has modern units paired with wooden worktops.

Take a right from the hall and you land in your smart reception room (we love the column radiator, the parquet floor, and the custom-made storage), of over 13 feet by nearly 10 feet.

On through and you have your double bedroom - of over 13 feet by nearly 10 feet. Deep built-in closets and additional shelving all impress.

Access your sleek shower room from the bedroom. This has contemporary sanitary ware and monochrome detailing, including a heated towel radiator.

What a spot! Herne Hill station makes the commute or London adventures seriously simple, with regualar trains to Victoria (9 minutes) and Blackfriars (11).

Herne Hill has a brilliant high street area with a generous offering of independent restaurants, cafes and shops. Plus a weekly Farmers' Market (where you'll likely spot a local celebrity or two!). We love Herne Hill Books for gift shopping and Llewelyn's for modern European dining - in the pedestrianised bit by the station. Grab a coffee here from multiple cute cafes.

Brockwell Park plus Lido and gym are seriously local. The large Victorian park hosts regular events including gigs and festivals - like the Lambeth County Show held each July. Which has been running since 1974!
