Charming Three Bedroom Victorian Home with Fab Interior

Behind the friendly flat fronted exterior of this Victorian gem is a very attractive three bedroom home. After a thoughtful extension and refurbishment, including some really luxurious touches, it now contains a double reception, eat-in kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor plus three elegantly presented bedrooms above. The garden, very pretty, runs to 55ft and has a gate out to the side passage. You're within an easy stroll of Nunhead with its independently run businesses. Nunhead Green offers a place for the kids to play, as do Consort Park and Cossall Park and there's always the vast and lovely Peckham Rye Common to tire them or yourself out. Lordship Lane is nearby for some shopping and culinary delights and you can grab a swift, direct and frequent train to London Bridge or Victoria from Nunhead or Peckham Rye. Queens Road is even closer (about a five minute stroll) and will, in addition to existing, direct London Bridge connections, see phase two of the East London Line extension by the end of 2012! A super house all in all!

Twin hanging baskets greet you warmly. The front door opens into a neat space for coats and then another door leads into a lovely, open plan double reception room with a staircase leading up along the left hand wall. On the floor is reclaimed French oak which extends all the way back to the kitchen at the rear. The walls are nicely neutral and there is shelving in the far alcove, next to the dining area. Into the kitchen/breakfast room and you find painted, handmade units and a butlers sink arranged in an L-shape beneath granite worktops. Overhead are two illuminating velux windows. The floor is tiled in light marble and there are beautiful French doors (with period style stained glass) out to the garden where you'll find reclaimed stone flags in the patio area and then a lawn leading down to a shed concealed by foliage. On the left is a door to the bathroom (next to a chimney breast which has been fitted with a show stopping wood-burning stove). Wood panelling to dado level makes the most of the space as do pretty rear facing decorative windows. The suite is as new.

Back into the living room and upstairs to a single bedroom at the turn of the staircase and then two doubles a few steps up. The rear double overlooks the garden and boasts rich, warm wall shades. The expertly presented master bedroom spans the width of the house and has cream painted floorboards and two nice wardrobes fitted to the alcoves - between them is a charming period fireplace. Old school radiators have been fitted throughout the house, a cool finishing touch.

You're also just a short stroll from Nunhead Lane where you'll find a truly excellent wet-fish shop and a yummy bakery. Beyond Nunhead station is Nunhead Nature Reserve, a beautiful old cemetery, great for walking and exercising the dog. Lovely Lordship Lane is an easy trot for some shopping, coffee and the weekend markets!
