Description
Architect Designed Three/Four Bedroom Home With Beautiful Garden and Two Studios.

Sprawling over 1700 square feet, this award-winning, architect designed home sits on the cusp of Peckham Rye park and will impress you at every step. It was originally built in the late 50's and expertly augmented in recent years. The house extends to include a vast L-shaped living/dining room with a wall of glass leading to a semi decked garden. It's most definitely a space for entertaining! You'll note African Wenge wood panelled cupboard doors and there is plenty of storage space in two separate lofts. The garden is fittingly fabulous; with a sun-drenched decked terrace, healthy lawn and two fabulous studios - perfect for working from home or as additional living space. The location is peaceful and mature. From here you can be strolling around the very lovely Peckham Rye in mere seconds. The amenities of both Peckham and East Dulwich are easily reached on foot and you can be at Nunhead Station in around 10 minutes for fab connections to Elephant and Castle, London Bridge, Blackfriars, Farringdon and beyond.

A contemporary, cedar statement facade makes a confident first impression. The door is from Pinar and solid with a led light so you can use your key without fumbling at night. There's a flurry of mature lavender and rose flower beds and plenty of space for a neat bin arrangement. An exterior plug allows you to charge your electric car too. Once inside you meet an open-plan full-depth L-shaped living/dining area with a deep storage coat cupboard and boot room immediately on your left. A nifty latch in the centre of the room opens up to reveal a wine cellar. The generous lounge gives way to a full-width dining area with further seating potential. It enjoys a glorious wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that frame a most impressive garden vista. Beyond this you meet a handy utility room with further garden access.

The kitchen runs off the entrance reception and boasts tonnes of light gushing through from the main living area. Granite counters sit atop plentiful cabinets and there's a fancy Franke sink. Appliances include a five ring gas hob, integrated fridge/freezer, double oven and dishwasher. A pull-out larder offers yet more storage. A further living room/fourth bedroom adjoins with dusky midnight blue walls and a pleasant front aspect. A handy wc with shower completes this floor. The garden boasts a sunny al fresco dining area, outdoor plugs for electric use, a healthy lawn and those fabulous studios which promise any amount of uses. The right hand space has a most ingenious bespoke window that folds back full-width to afford its occupants a magical sense of airiness.

Slinking up to your first floor you find a pleasant, carpeted landing. The master bedroom stretches to the full depth of the house and enjoys an aspect to both front and rear. There's fitted storage and oodles of space for slumber and seating too. The second double shares the front spot and there's a similarly sized third double bedroom facing rear over the garden. Both are carpeted. Last but not least comes a handsome family bathroom with light grey wooden panelling, white suite and shower over the bath.

A casual 10 walk will get you to Nunhead station and trains to Victoria and Blackfriars, or walk a little further to Peckham Rye station or Queens Road Peckham, with yet more connections. The London Overground line offers fast, frequent services to Shoreditch, Islington, Clapham and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water). Nunhead Lane has a proper bakery, greengrocers, wet fish shop and its own little restaurant amongst others all nestled round the lovely village green. The fabulous Peckham Rye park with its cafe and play area is a stone's throw away, great fun for the kids all year round, especially during the spring fare. There's even a children's play area to keep the nippers happy! Carry on through the park and within minutes you are closing in on the lovely market street of Northcross Road. The fabulous Nunhead Cemetery is also just a few minutes' walk for long, relaxing walks and with an utterly fabulous view of St Paul's. The kids will love the yearly Cemetery Fair and marvel at the perched wild birds and owls that are on show every year. You can enjoy a tipple at any number of cracking nearby watering holes - we love the Clock House, The Rye Hotel and the ever popular Herne Tavern - all within an easy ramble.
