House For Sale £1,000,000
This beautiful semi-detached house is located on a lovely residential road in Peckham. Extensively renovated, the open-plan living spaces have a wonderful sense of volume, where skylights and full-length windows accentuate high ceilings. The rear of the house opens to a large and secluded garden, with luscious planted borders surrounded by neighbouring mature trees; there is off-street parking for two cars. Set in the heart of Bellenden Village, it is minutes from the independent shops and restaurants the area is known for, as well as a five-minute walk from the green Peckham Rye. It is also located within the Belham primary school district.
The Tour
Set behind a generous driveway, the pared-back semi-detached house has a simple white rendered façade and a tiled hip and valley roof. The front door protrudes slightly, inset between two large wooden-framed windows, creating a bright entryway, which is warm and inviting; there is useful space to stow coats and shoes. A second door opens to the spacious hallway, painted an enveloping soft grey, setting the tone for the rest of the house, which has been finished in a considered palette of moody colours offset by pops of pink. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor.
The living spaces have been cleverly reconfigured and refurbished by the current owners. Walls previously dividing the dining area, kitchen and sitting room have been removed to create a spacious open-plan living space with a wonderful sense of flow.
The two-tone dining area, painted a calm pale grey and deep green, has full-height sliding doors that frame views of the expansive garden beyond. Three Velux skylights punctuate the roof's pitch, accentuating the high ceilings while allowing natural light to flood in. There is space for a large dining table and chairs, making it perfect for entertaining.
The kitchen, positioned on the left of the plan, is painted a soft, playful pink. This chalky tone is complemented by cool grey cabinetry topped with quartz. Pink glazed trapeze porcelain tiles are accented with white grouting and form a striking splashback, which neatly ties the space together. On the other side of the wall is the sitting room, where a log burner creates a focal point and is flanked by open shelves.
A stairwell, illuminated by a tall window, ascends to the first floor, where two tranquil bedrooms are located, both defined by the smart deep hues on the walls, balanced by birch ply cabinetry, which adds warmth and texture. The serene primary bedroom is painted a forest green, echoing the leafy views of neighbouring tree canopies and back gardens seen through the large casement window. Plenty of built-in storage has been carefully added.
The second bedroom, painted deep purple, is currently configured as a study. A desk has been built in the same birch ply, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves opposite add more storage. The loft has been extended to form a peaceful perch at the top of the house. Here, large windows fill the space with light and offer views over the roofscapes of Peckham. There is plenty of storage within the eaves and a nook that comfortably fits a double bed.
The bathroom is located on the first floor and, in keeping with the rest of the house, has walls painted in the rich teal, blending with the tiles above the sink. It has a freestanding bath set against one wall, a vanity and a walk-in shower. A WC on the ground floor has hand-painted illustrations on the walls, the drawings a homage to Peckham.
The house has planning permission to construct a side return extension on the ground floor, details of which can be found here.
Outdoor Space
The lush private garden wraps around the house and is nearly 40 ft at the longest point. Beautifully landscaped, planted borders chock full of Palms, Fatsia Japonic and Yucca trees surround a neat rectangular lawn. Parts of the garden have been decked, with ample space for outdoor furniture and an area for eating alfresco. Due to its orientation, it is open by also very secluded. A shed in the garden can be used as an office.
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.
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. There are also services to London Bridge in seven minutes, Blackfriars in 11 minutes, and Victoria in 15 minutes.
