St George’s Way, Peckham

£399,950

Delightful and oversized one bedroom modern-build ground floor apartment - of 509 square feet - with a massive private terrace (direct access is from your reception room) which faces full-south; so you’ll enjoy full sun.

Further, you have an allocated underground secure parking bay, plus a secure bike cage/rack.

The attractive low-rise apartment block sits on Peckham/Camberwell borderland, directly opposite Burgess Park (Southwark's largest park of 56 hectares - stretching from Camberwell and Walworth in the west, to Peckham and the Old Kent Road in the east).

Ascend a few steps (or take the ramp) at the front of the building and there is secure entry to a main communal hall. In your own front door and first on your right are two built-in cupboards, then you have your large double bedroom - of over 15 feet by nearly 9 feet. A south-facing window looks onto your own terrace.

At the end of the hall, on your right is the bathroom - which has been recently and rather beautifully refurbished. Sanitary ware is contemporary, and this is paired with (bang-on-trend) monochrome detailing.

Straight ahead is the main event: your huge south-facing reception room (with lots of space for seating and dining spaces), of over 15 feet by over 13 feet. Double-glazed French doors open onto your fabulous terrace - wonderful for having friends/family/all of them over, or just enjoying the space and sun smugly alone.

Your independent (again SF-windowed) kitchen sits separately off the generous reception space. This is super smart - in navy and ochre, with built- in appliances.

After a brilliant (£8mil!) revamp, Burgess Park reopened in 2012, with a fishing lake and multiple sports courts. There is a popular park run every Saturday, at 9am. Burgess Park (named after Councillor Jessie Burgess - Camberwell's first woman Mayor in 1973) was developed in 1943, as part of the Abercrombie Plan for open spaces. The area was once home to factories, densely populated streets and the Surrey Canal before it was badly bombed during World War II. It was built between the 1950s and 1980s.

Camberwell Leisure Centre is a good one with recently-refurbished Victorian pool and good gym facilities and classes.

Central Camberwell has loads going on! Camberwell Church Street is a short stroll (10-15 minutes) for great pubs, cafes and restaurants. We particularly like Falafel, Hermits Cave, The Camberwell Arms, Forza Win, Veraison Wines. Theo’s, and The Crypt (for Friday night live jazz).

For further options, Oval, Kennington, Bermondsey and Peckham are all close.
