House For Sale £725,000
This lovely three-bedroom house in Peckham has been carefully renovated by its current architect-owners to create a light-filled space thoroughly suited to modern living. It has a verdant rear garden with interiors in a neutral, natural palette of colours and materials. The house sits on Portbury Close, minutes from Peckham Rye station and the best of south London.
The Tour
A large planter with flowering perennials frames the front entrance on Portbury Close. The home unfolds across the ground and first floors, with the primary living spaces on the ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs. The living spaces have been executed in a neutral palette of natural materials. Oak flooring runs underfoot, while bespoke integrated wood furniture chimes harmoniously with black metalwork and Venetian plaster on the walls.
The living area opens to the garden through full-width sliding glass doors, bringing the outdoors in and creating a verdant backdrop that is visible from all ground floor rooms. The kitchen is connected to the living room yet very much a distinctive space in its own right. It features polished concrete tiles, black work surfaces and a light, sand-coloured Venetian plaster rear wall. These materials lend a sense of brightness and contemporary harmony to the room.
A timber staircase ascends to the first floor; this has a black metal balustrade, which enhances the sense of volume and allows light to filter from the upper levels down to the kitchen. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found on the first floor. The main bedroom is a bright, minimal space with a large built-in storage unit with whitewashed wooden doors. There is an integrated window seat – the perfect spot for reading – and further hidden walk-in storage that allows the room to be kept clutter-free. The bathroom has high ceilings and high-level windows, allowing plenty of natural light and ventilation. Light terrazzo tiles line the floor and white vertical tiles clad the wall.
Outdoor Space
The rear garden is a wonderful spot for alfresco dining and has plenty of space for a table and seating area. There are several evergreen trees and the current owners have also planted a large variety of ferns and low-lying evergreen plants. The garden is surrounded by brick walls with clambering ivy growing across them.
The Area
Portbury Close lies in the heart of Peckham, which has become known for its restaurant and arts scene. The house is just a few minutes from the much-loved rooftop bar Frank’s Cafe, Copeland Yard & Bussey Building and Peckham Levels. The southern end of Rye Lane is home to excellent restaurants and pubs including Mr Bao, Bánh Bánh and Pedler, as well as The White Horse and Taco Queen. Other excellent restaurants in the area include Levan (recently featured in our My Modern Menu series), Artusi and The Begging Bowl. Review Bookshop is a fantastic local independent bookshop. The house is close to Peckham Rye Park & Common and is only a short walk away from Nunhead Cemetery.
Peckham Rye is the closest station, running London Overground services to Shoreditch High Street and Dalston Junction in one direction and Clapham Junction in the other. Connections to the Jubilee Line can be reached at Canada Water in 10 minutes and the Northern Line at Clapham High Street in 11 minutes.
