Peckham Hill Street, Peckham

Offers in excess of £900,000.
Impressive three bedroom, two reception maisonette spread over the entire raised ground and first floors of a double-fronted, link-detached villa (built circa 1852) – which has notably generous front and rear gardens and side access. There is just one property below yours and you each have your own front door. Chain free. You are a 10-15 minute walk from Peckham Rye Station. You are also close to Burgess Park and the Surrey Canal path. Take central stairs up to your smart front door. Your high-ceilinged hall is a fitting welcome for the pleasing proportions that follow throughout. To your left of the hall is a soft-carpeted reception/sitting room, of over 15 feet by over 9 feet. A big central sash window is a fab feature here. To your right of the hall you have another large reception room of over 12 feet each way, with a cool wall mural and a floor to ceiling triple window. This warm and formal space is a natural dining room; being open-plan to the big kitchen which has glorious garden views from above the sink. In your roomy kitchen, wall and base units are plentiful, to all three walls. Brick-style wall tiling and large-profile floor tiles are nice decisions. Back in the hall and there is a clever plumbed utility area with sink and storage stationed under the stairs (excellently-placed for hanging your washing out!) by the back door to steps down to the mature and pro-landscaped garden. This faces east. Your first floor delivers two double bedrooms and a large single. Your principal is over 15 feet by over 9 feet, with built-in storage for clothes etc. Next door is your single, of over 12 feet by nearly 7 feet. And next to that, a double, of over 12 feet by nearly 9 feet, with some built-in alcove storage, and a deep built-in closet. All the bedrooms have leafy vistas and enjoy delightful dappled light. Across the hall is the sizeable bathroom, with two windows, an independent doored shower with oversized shower-head, a roll-top bath, a traditional-style towel radiator, and ceramic metro-tiling. Bellenden Road is an easy stroll for independent cafes, restaurants and shops. Our favourites include Artusi, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, The Sourcing Table, Flock & Herd, The General Store, Review bookstore, and Petitou cafe on nearby Choumert Road. We also highly rate Levan, Hausu and Il Giardino, on Blenheim Grove. Rye Lane is really close, too, for trendy destinations such as Peckham Levels, The Market Building and The Bussey Building (yoga classes, exhibitions and more) and Copeland Park, plus handy high street shops, markets and services.
For more options, Camberwell, Bermondsey, Borough, New Cross, Deptford and Dulwich are all easy to get to. Beyond Burgess (friendly Saturday Parkrun here!), Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres are a short walk. Tenure: Leasehold (approx. 90 years remaining)
