Lyndhurst Way

Delightful and enhanced three bed, early-Victorian house of 1150 square feet with double-glazed sash windows, notably high ceilings and a low-maintenance garden. The property has a clever and flexible layout that includes three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Find it on a desirable street within Holly Grove conservation area, just a four minute walk from Peckham Rye Station (you’re even closer to brilliant Bellenden Road). You’re also pleasingly close to The Villa Nursery and Pre-Preparatory School, and to Warwick Gardens. Freehold.

A neat front garden sets you back from the street and the front of the house has just been refurbished; including new tiles and paving stones. Once in, the large, oak-floored reception room sits off to your left with working central fireplace, alcove shelving, and a deep bay window with sash windows and plantation shutters to the lower panes. This room is open to the kitchen/diner which has attractive fitted units and plenty of space for the dining table. Part-glazed French doors open out onto the side return area of the garden. Past the stairs and a handy cupboard, you next arrive at a large, double-aspect bedroom of 18 feet by nearly 9 feet. The room would work equally well as an additional reception room. A modern en suite shower room is a welcome decision, with smart white suite and clever sliding door. The main room area has carpets under foot, built-in cupboards/wardrobes, a large skylight window, and folding doors to the generous east-facing garden. This part of the house was renovated just two years ago. The garden is decked in the main with a wide side return area and well-established borders.

Upstairs to the half landing for an impressive and huge bathroom with electric underfloor heating (this is also in the downstairs bathroom) vaulted ceiling, white suite, and walk-in shower. A large sash window sits to the rear of the room. Brick-style tiling looks great in here, with crisp white walls. Off the main landing find bedrooms two and three. The carpeted master bedroom takes the width of the terrace (it’s 15 feet by over 11) while the other is a respectable 11 feet by 11 feet. Both rooms have an alcove cupboard and feature fireplace, and handsome sash windows.

Locations don’t get much better. You’re in the heart of Posh Peckham here, with Bellenden Road, Choumert Road, Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane all a short walk for cafes, bars, restaurants, independent shopping, markets and handy high street offerings and banks, too. We particularly like local restaurants Ganapati, Artusi and The Begging Bowl. Cafe culture is in full swing: Anderson’s, Petitou and Small White Elephant are all close by for cracking coffee and people-watching. Other places worthy of note are Peckham Plex Cinema (recently featured in Time Out), Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park. Don’t miss the roof top summer bars and film club! Camberwell and Dulwich are also close for more options.

Kids? Local primary provision is good: local schools include The Belham and Bellenden Primaries, as well as The Villa Nursery and Pre-Prep. (2-7). Warwick Gardens is your closest green space, or venture a little further to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres, or Burgess or Ruskin Parks.
