Bournemouth Road

Large and sunny two bed flat of 789 square feet, with own south-west facing balcony and far-reaching views (from the balcony and both bedrooms), within a modern development set on Bournemouth Road, just off Peckham’s main and hip high street: Rye Lane. The property is located on the building’s fourth floor - reached by lift or stairs - after secure entry at ground floor level. The flat is neutrally decorated and double-glazed throughout, and has good storage within the flat, plus covered bicycle storage available for residents. Leasehold.

In the front door and you land in a surprisingly large hall where a built-in cupboard/coat closet keeps you company. There’s scope for building-in more storage should the mood and budget take you once-in. To your right of the hall, first, is a modern bathroom, with slick white suite, concealed plumbing, recessed lighting, and over bath shower. Next to your right is the roomy master bedroom which has a built-in wardrobe, and en suite w.c. Adjacent is a double bedroom which stretches over 15 feet by over 8. Both bedrooms have neat oatmeal carpets and large double glazed windows to those enviable views south. 

To the left of the hall area is the main event - a massive reception room/dining room/kitchen that stretches over 24 feet, by 12. At the near end is the modern fitted kitchen with pale gloss wall and base units to three walls, and attractive mosaic tiling detail. The reception and dining areas are a neat white affair and welcome features include a chunky built-in book case plus low-maintenance flooring. At the foot of the impressive room a double-glazed door delivers you to your neat private balcony. The perfect vantage point to enjoy views of SE15 and well-beyond past Crystal Palace to Kent and Surrey.

What a spot! Tucked off bustling Rye Lane, you can walk mere minutes to Peckham Rye Station (Zone 2 and with Overground trains), Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building and Peckham Plex cinema. Buses also serve Rye Lane well. Places to eat and drink worthy of mention in the immediate locale include Taco Queen, Levan, Tonkotsu, Pedler, John the Unicorn and The White Horse. Bellenden Road is a short stroll for other cafes, restaurants and pubs including Artusi, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl and Anderson’s. Peckham’s leisure centre (by Peckham Square and library, with weekly Farmers’ Market) is a short walk away also. Other options can be found in nearby Camberwell, Dulwich, New Cross and Deptford.

Local green spaces include Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres, and Warwick Gardens - more modest in size, but lovely all the same.
