Choumert Grove

There’s nothing average about this Holly Grove conservation area home. Three floors and 1150 square feet deliver three bedrooms, a vast reception room, a smart eat-in kitchen, and a double-height bathroom. Despite its period-appearance, the property was built in 2003 (one of a handsome pair). A low maintenance modern-build property therefore, with the charm of its Victorian counterparts. You’re in an end of terrace position on Choumert Grove, really close to Peckham Rye Station (Zone 2) and Bellenden Road.

The house doesn't have a rear garden, so don’t expect to find one - however there is a lovely south-west facing front garden you can sit out in, and you are within easy walking distance of Warwick Gardens and Peckham Rye Park & Common’s 113 acres.

Open your front door and a neat kitchen sits off to your left with neat fitted units and smart black granite work tops, recessed lighting, plantation shutters for privacy on the lower panes, and space for table and chairs. The floor is tiled. Solid oak floors run from the hall through to the huge reception. At 15 feet by 24 feet you’ll be impressed, as will the guests you must entertain here. The latter part of the reception room has a glazed roof which is a brilliant touch and makes for a wonderfully-bright room.

Upstairs find two carefully-considered bedrooms (of over 15 feet by 9, and over 8 feet by over 7) and your bathroom with white suite, twin sinks, and shower over the bath. It’s double-height too. Up again to the master bedroom which is 15 feet long with lots of windows and churchy views.

Peckham Rye station is a mere 3 minute walk for London Overground and regular services. You’re also so close to buzzing Bellenden Road with its cafes, pubs and independent shops. Review book store, Anderson’s, Flock & Herd butchery, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Ganapati are a handful of our favourites. The Montpelier, Bar Story, Brick Brewery Taproom and The Victoria Inn (with Roa mural) are well-liked local watering holes. On Blenheim Grove we like newcomer Levan and oldie but goodie Il Giardino.

Rye Lane is a short walk for Peckham Plex cinema, The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex and Peckham Levels. In the summer months, rooftop drinks are all the rage at Frank’s and atop The Bussey (where you’ll also find rooftop movies). East Dulwich’s Lordship Lane, Dulwich Village and Camberwell are all close for more options.

Your most local schools include The Belham and Bellenden primaries, and The Villa Nursery and Pre-Prep. is well-liked on nearby Lyndhurst Grove (walk 8 minutes).
