Cool and chain free two double bedroom ground floor flat of 647 feet, with a communal garden and skyline views, on one of Telegraph Hill Conservation Area's lovely wide tree-lined slopes. Parking is unrestricted, on-street. What a hot spot! Walk just 10 minutes to both New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham stations. Both are Fare Zone 2 and on the Overground network (Windrush line), as well as offering regular services. Nunhead Station and town centre are just a 14 minute walk. This leafy hillside residential area - once the home of Victorian poet Robert Browning - was developed in the late C19th, replacing market gardens (which were owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, who controlled the development) with high standard housing, on wide plane-tree-lined streets. From your front door, turn right for the generous principal bedroom which rests at the front of the building - this is over 14 feet by over 11 feet, with a large south-facing bay window. Next door is a modern internal bathroom, with timeless marble (Silver Shadow) tiling, contemporary white suite, and an over-bath shower. Your second bedroom is up next - a pleasing double of over 8 feet by over 10 feet. Your double-aspect back/main room is really impressive! It is over 23 feet by over 12 feet; incorporating dining, kitchen and living spaces. The kitchen is a modern fitted number, with sleek white wall and base units paired with wooden worktops. Integrated appliances are pleasingly included in the sale. The large communal lawned garden is accessed via a gate to the side of the building (you don't have direct access from the flat to this). A great location to lay your hat. Enjoy the connectivity of Fare Zone 2, with great views, pretty parks (Telegraph Hill's Upper and Lower Parks, which have been open to the public since 1895, are a brief walk), community spirit and a weekly Saturday market as well. The Hill Station community cafe with pizza place (just next to the church) is very popular with locals and visitors alike. A large Sainsbury's store sits behind NXG station for groceries, and there are independent shops, cafes and restaurants on both New Cross Road and Queens Road, alongside the gastro-pubs. Also locally, we particularly like Corner (cafe), The Old Library Bar, Peckham Cellars, Beer Rebellion, Well & Fed, and Blackbird Bakery. The Rose Inn, The Earl of Derby and Skehan's are all top local public houses (the latter has fun live bands on weekends). Local schools include Haberdashers' (covering 3-18) and Edmund Waller (3-11). There are also several really good nurseries to choose from within a short stroll. Tenure: Leasehold Service charge: £3,033 per annum Ground rent: £300 per annum Council tax band: C Borough: Lewisham
