Talfourd Place

Architect and interior designed two double bed flat with Med-feel south-facing garden and an internal courtyard, on a residential street between the centres of Peckham and Camberwell. Walk just 10 minutes to Peckham Rye Station for regular and Overground services (and it’s just 15 to Denmark Hill Station). You’re closer still to Bellenden Road.

This smart and ready-to-go home has a share of Freehold and its own front door, and blends its original Victorian charm and architectural extension artfully, with welcome features which include engineered oak flooring, designer lighting, and full stave solid oak kitchen worktops. Permit-parking is available on the street for residents. 

In the front door and the largest of the double bedrooms rests to your right. It’s over 11 feet by over 10, and has a handsome sash window. Next door is the second double bedroom of over 10 feet by nearly 9. Also with sash window, but this time onto a pretty internal courtyard - that’s accessed from the lounge area via sliding doors. 

Back in the hall, you'll note the utility cupboard, and moving through the flat, your contemporary shower room sits on your left. The main event is delivered next - your huge kitchen/reception room of nearly 19 feet at its longest point (into the double-aspect dining area), by over 16. Pleasing detailing here includes exposed-brick and tongue and groove clad walls. Large scale glazing impresses too, and takes full advantage of the room’s southerly-aspect. Folding doors open onto the garden from the seating area, while another door opens from the dining space. 

We’ve mentioned the rail links; this is a super spot for bus travel too, with day and night routes just minutes away on Peckham Road. Bellenden Road is your local high street with lovely independent shops and restaurants including Ganapati, Artusi, Anderson’s, Review, Flock & Herd  and The General Store. Rye Lane throws up more options including Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, Taco Queen and John the Unicorn.

Camberwell is also close for delights such as Nandine, The Camberwell Arms, The South London Gallery, and the recently-improved leisure centre (with Victorian pool) on Artichoke Place. Local green spaces include Warwick and Lucas Gardens, and Brunswick Park.
