Anstey Road

Chain-free three double bed Victorian terrace - with impressive warehouse-style rear/side return extension - totalling 1230 square feet (inclusive of the cellar space, exclusive of the loft space; which could be converted should you fancy a future project). Find it with a low-maintenance west-facing garden stretching over 23 feet, on a tree-lined residential street with permit parking for residents, just a 6 minute stroll from both Peckham Rye Station and Bellenden Road. Freehold.

In the front door and a large double-reception is open, to your left. The front section with bay window is over 13 feet by over 11, and the second is over 11 by over 9 feet. Built-in alcove shelving (in all four alcoves) is a welcome feature, and stripped boards are underfoot. Access the modern kitchen/diner from here - or from the hall. It’s over 19 feet by over 15 and has a stainless-steel-countered island plus bank of base units, and double-glazed skylights over the original side-return space (where a long table will work really well for both casual and formal dining). At the foot of the room you have double doors onto the garden, plus a huge Crittal window to match, next to those. The room gets fabulous light thanks to its westerly orientation. The part-walled rear garden that’s complete with palm tree is a low-maintenance affair with raised beds and pavers. A downstairs w.c. is found by the hall entrance to the kitchen/diner, next to which you’ll find the access to the cellar which runs to the front of the house and is good for storing wine and other bits and pieces. 

Up to the half landing and the bathroom is to your left. This has a large independent shower as well as a bath, and a skylight window. sanitaryware and fittings are contemporary in style, and ceramic brick-style tiling looks and works great. Plumbing is concealed. 

Set at the rear of the house is the first double bedroom with two windows on the rear wall, and a further skylight. Up a few stairs from the landing and you have the master bedroom taking the width of the house, of over 11 feet by nearly 15, and a third double, this time over 11 feet by nearly 10. Both rooms have built-in clothing storage to their respective alcoves, plus decorative fireplaces. Stripped floorboards feature in all the bedrooms.

Peckham Rye Station (Zone 2) is a short walk for regular and Overground services. Green space? Warwick Gardens is close, and Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres is closer still. The independent shopping, dining and drinking opportunities of Bellenden Road are a short stroll away. You needn’t leave the neighbourhood of the evening or weekend! It’s a wonderful social hub.

In the warmer months, head rooftop for drinks at Frank’s and also atop The Bussey Building. The latter also holds a rooftop cinema. Rye Lane is close for high street essentials, banks and a large supermarket, as well as Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building and Copeland Park complex. It’s all going on in SE15 as recent press coverage keeps on shouting about, and there’s even more to come, including the regeneration of and around Peckham Rye Station and The Peckham Coal Line.
