This elegant three-bedroom house occupies an enviable corner position on Godman Road in Peckham. Unfolding over approximately 1,500 sq ft, the carefully considered interiors favour pared-back colours and light-enhancing design to create a space that is perfectly suited for modern living. Popular Rye Lane and the green spaces of Peckham Rye are a five-minute walk away, as are the independent shops and restaurants of Nunhead Village. The house has a garden and designated parking.
The Tour
Unfolding over three levels, the house is laid out in an upside-down plan, connected by a series of sleek staircases. The first floor is elegantly arranged, given over entirely to the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. The kitchen is positioned along one end of the room and harmoniously interacts with both the dining and living spaces, which have the potential to be arranged in a variety of ways. Vast sash windows flood the room with light from both sides and amplify the sense of volume.
In the kitchen, cupboards are faced in ink-hued cabinetry with oak accents and topped by a minimalistic Ceaserstone, reflecting light back into the room. Perhaps the most impressive element of the room is the soaring proportions of the living area. This height is beautifully utilised care of a large bespoke bookshelf, forming an impressive focal point. The above mezzanine level is used as a separate office.
On the ground floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms at the rear has direct access to a large garden, and characterful wooden parquet flooring. The bathroom is clad in grey metro tiles and has a bath with an overhead shower.
Outdoor Space
The garden forms an L-shape and, due to this house's favourable corner position, it is the largest on the terrace. The rear of the garden is AstroTurf, while the portion at the front has been laid with paving, creating space for alfresco dining. Shrubs and palms line one half of the garden providing an attractive display of foliage.
The Area
Peckham is an incredibly popular area of south-east London due to its independent restaurants, bars and cafes, including perennial local favourites Forza Win, Levan, Artusi and Kudu. Larger establishments such as Frank’s rooftop bar, Peckham Levels and the Bussey Building attract crowds from across the city.
The popular expanse of Peckham Rye, home to the Sexby Garden, sports pitches, and The Round café, is a short walk away. Also within walking distance is the beautiful Nunhead Cemetery, a beautiful woodland oasis with amazing views across the city skyline.
