Lovely, light and large Victorian bay-fronted terrace on an always-requested street, mere minutes from Bellenden Road (three!) and Peckham Rye Station (eight Fare Zone 2 and on the Overground network/Windrush line. Permit-parking is on-street. Beyond popular 'Posh Peckham', you are also close to the centres of East Dulwich and Camberwell. East Dulwich Station is at your feet within 12 minutes, and Denmark Hill Station is yours in 15. The handsome house - delivered over three floors (inclusive of a smart loft conversion) - hosts plenty of pleasing original period features (including fireplaces, sash windows and stripped original floors), four double bedrooms, three reception rooms, and two bathrooms. There is also obvious scope to extend at ground floor level (de rigeur). A sunny south-facing garden of over 40 feet completes the package. Open into the welcoming and high-ceilinged hall and your two formal reception rooms rest to your right. Original (painted timber) shutters to your bay window impress. Doors between divide or connect the rooms as mood or occasion requires. Your front reception room is over 13 feet by over 12 feet. Your rear one is over 11 by over 10, and has French doors out to the side-return section of the garden. Past an under-stairs cupboard (great for stashing coats, treads, and the vacuum cleaner) and straight ahead is your third reception/a natural breakfast room or snug - of over 13 feet by over 9 feet, with window to the side-return. Beyond and you have your southerly-sash-windowed kitchen. This is a neat square room (over 9 feet each way) with fitted wall and base units, wooden worktops, and your back door out to the garden. Upstairs to the half-landing and you have the main bathroom to your right (white suite, sash window here) and the first of your double bedrooms directly ahead - of over 13 feet by over 9 feet. From the landing proper you have another double bedroom to your left (over 11 feet by over 10 feet) and your principal twin-sashed bedroom across the front of the house (over 16 feet by over 11 feet). The top floor delivers a large loft conversion bedroom of over 17 feet by over 11 feet, and a modern Velux-windowed shower room. Close to three Fare Zone 2 stations, you are also well-served by buses into Central London. You are also mere minutes from some of the most (and quite-rightly) lauded restaurants south of the river! We particularly rate Artusi, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati. For drinks, The Sourcing Table, The Montpelier and The Victoria Inn are very local and popular. Other local streets Blenheim Grove, Choumert Road (the lower section) and Rye Lane provide plenty of additional options (and don't miss The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex, Peckham Levels, and Peckham Plex Cinema - all just off Rye Lane). Independent shopping is easy - on Grove Vale, and East Dulwich's Lordship Lane (on the latter we particularly like SMBS Foods, William Rose, Mons, Moxon's and The Cheese Block), where you'll also find a Picturehouse cinema. Top shops on Bellenden Road include Flock & Herd (butcher), Life of Fish (fishmonger), The General Store, and Review book store. For more options, Camberwell, Herne Hill, Brixton and Dulwich Village are all easily reached. Local green spaces? These include Warwick Gardens, Lettsom Gardens, Goose Green, Peckham Rye Park and Common (Grade II listed and with Green Flag status) and Ruskin Park. Local primary schools and nurseries include The Belham, The Villa and Bellenden. The Charter School East Dulwich is also close for secondary phase.
