2 bed Flat For Sale £475,000
Barforth Road, Nunhead SE15

Dashing purpose-built two bed (one double, one single) mid-thirties first floor maisonette of 688 square feet. Find the pleasing property on a quiet residential Nunhead street with unrestricted parking.

Walk 10 minutes to Nunhead Station, and 16 to Peckham Rye Station (both are Fare Zone 2). You’re also close to Nunhead’s high street and central green, and to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres - walk but five minutes to each. The property is double-glazed throughout, and is tastefully decorated. Leasehold.

There’s a shared main door (there are just four flats in the handsome detached building which is home to ‘The Maisonettes’). Take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door is set to the right and you open into a generous hall with cloak cupboard.

A neat single bedroom of over 7 feet by over 7, is on your right, with a west-facing window.

The reception room is next door and gets lovely afternoon sunshine. It’s a great size, at over 13 feet by 13 feet. Alcove storage keeps matters tidy, and ceilings are high. The walls are white and you’ve got picture rails too.

Adjacent is the master bedroom of over 14 feet by over 11, with white walls, built-in wardrobes, picture rail, and a grey carpet.

A neat and windowed shower room is next door, with contemporary fittings, heated towel radiator, and open shelf detail.

The eat-in kitchen - with lovely morning sun - concludes the property tour; it’s double-aspect, over 12 feet by over 10 feet, and has pale fitted wall and base units. One part-glazed door connects you to the hall, and a second opens to outside steps leading down to a small flower bed - a good spot for nurturing some edible and flowering plants/herbs.

Internal attic space is available for extra storage - accessed from a hatch on the first floor staircase.

Blissfully-close to central Nunhead, you’ll want for very little here. We love Ayres bakery, Soper’s wet fish shop, Babette, Bambuni, El Vermut and Four Hundred Rabbits to name a few independent businesses. A handy Co-Op will open soon too at the end of Nunhead Lane.

The Old Nun’s Head is your local friendly neighbourhood pub. The Rye is also nice - with a big beer garden - at the end of Scylla Road. A little further and you’ll find Peckham Bazaar on Consort Road (amazing Pan-Balkan fayre and wines).

The ‘triangle’ at the top of Rye Lane is also quite the gastronomic destination now. Check out Pedler and Mr Bao here. The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex, Market Building, and Peckham Levels are also but a short walk from your door for the trendiest of eateries, drinkeries, exhibitions and the like (including rooftop bars and rooftop cinema in the warm months).

Bellenden Road, Choumert Road and Rye Lane provide further options (Artusi, Anderson's, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati to name a handful) and Peckham Plex Cinema is a long-established five-pound-a-film favourite. Camberwell, New Cross and Deptford are also close.

Peckham Rye Park and Common and Nunhead Cemetery are very near, for weekend strolls/outdoor exercise. East Dulwich’s leisure centre is an 11 minute walk for modernised Victorian pool and gym.
