Two bed conversion flat of approximately 630 square feet, on a tree-lined, residential street that's really close to Peckham Rye Park and Common. It's a quaint and notably quiet Nunhead pocket of almost-exclusively Victorian houses, flats and maisonettes. Welcome features include a beautiful, bespoke solid-wood kitchen, stripped and treated floor boards, a neutral scheme, excellent built-in storage and a bright, modern bathroom. Nunhead, Crofton Park and Brockley stations are each a pleasant 10-15 minute walk away. Parking is unrestricted, on-street. Leasehold.

It's a communal hall shared with the ground floor flat. Walls are fresh and white. Open your own front door and immediately take the stairs to the flat proper. To your left of the entrance hall area is a double-aspect, double bedroom of 13ft by 11ft. A big, smart wardrobe has been cleverly fitted in one alcove, and opposite this is a double-glazed door to a small balcony space: A great spot for potted plants. Adjacent is the bathroom with two windows (this room was once two), recessed lighting and high-spec fixtures and fittings including a contemporary white suite and slick, large format tiles. A large overbath shower also impresses. The landing is home to three large storage cupboards and opposite these, open to the second double bedroom (12ft by 10ft) with crisp white walls and a sash window. Taking the width of the terrace, at the front of the building, is the large and light open-plan reception/kitchen of over 16ft by over 12ft. The fitted kitchen (painted in Farrow and Ball's 'Cornforth White') is hand-built: The units are American tulip wood and the counters are solid oak. Brick-style white tiling also looks great. Appliances? Are integrated and included in the sale (washing machine, fridge, induction hob and electric oven).

As well as Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres, Nunhead's Victorian Cemetery (one of 'The Magnifiecnt Seven') is a short walk away. Nunhead, Crofton Park and Brockley stations are all an easy 10-15 minute walk from the flat for trains to the City or Victoria (15 mins) / London Bridge (8 mins) or the Overground to Shoreditch (18 mins from Brockley). For Peckham Rye Station, it's a 25 minute walk across or skirting the park, or take a 343 or P12 from the end of the road to get there in 5-10 minutes. One of the best pubs in south London is your local - The Ivy House on Stuart Road. It's the first co-operatively owned pub in London with plenty going on including a beer festival. The Rye and The Waverley Arms are also top local pubs with beer gardens and BBQs in the warmer months.

Blossoming Nunhead Lane is your local high street with village-style green and solid, long-standing independent staples including Soper's wet fish shop and Ayre's bakery, alongside new arrivals including Babette, Goodcup and Four Hundred Rabbits. There's also a new community centre by aoc Architects. East Dulwich's Lordship Lane, and Peckham's Bellenden and Choumert Roads plus Rye Lane are also close (20-25 mins walk) for further options including Frank's and Bussey's rooftop bars and Peckham Levels.
