Property description

Viewings from Saturday 27th June

This early Victorian rose clad cottage will steal your heart in a flash! Elegant, sympathetic styling, period features and some perfectly executed bespoke additions combine to create an utterly charming spot to hang your hat. The accommodation extends to comprise a double reception, kitchen/diner, bathroom, two double bedrooms and a wonderfully light and lovely loft room. The rear garden is as inviting as the interior, with a pretty studio facing toward your well-manicured lawn. We're sold! The area is simply perfect - tree lined and a moment's amble from beautiful Bellenden Village. You are also well placed for the trendy bars and restaurants of Peckham, such as Franks Rooftop Bar, The Bussey Building, Peckham Refreshment Rooms and Bar Story.  It is on a leafy handsome street between the two areas and is only a three minute walk to Peckham Rye station which takes care of the commute nicely. 

The exterior will delight at first glimpse. Sash windows, London stock brickwork and well maintained stucco detail all finished off with a mature rose creeper. The fragrance is quite enchanting! Inward bound you meet original timber floors, dado rails and a most elegant arched cornice. The staircase is neat and polite with painted treads and risers. Head left to meet the double reception which is separated centrally. Low level storage units and shelving sit either side of both working fireplaces. The rear stone mantel is particularly lovely. French doors lead rear to your side gravel bed patio which is awash with lush greenery - the perfect spot for shade on a sunny day. The kitchen sits to the rear of the hall through an open arch. Retro grey cabinets, a five ring gas range, butler sink on stone scrolls and solid oak counters make it the perfect marriage of traditional and contemporary. A nifty chalk board inside one cupboard door will allow you to remember what you need to stock up on! The bathroom lies beyond here with pucker Parquet flooring and a fabulous free standing bath. Dual aspect frosted casements afford ample daylight for the pluck and preen and there's a period loo and wash hand basin to maintain the general tone. 

Heading upward via the hall you find more tasty timber floors on the landing. Fitted storage and raised shelving make use of every inch of space. The master bedroom fronts the street through two sash windows - it's leafy and lovely. There's another feature fireplace and more storage. Bedroom two is bathed in natural light and enjoys more ubiquitous greenery. The period feature fireplace is flanked by yet more fitted storage. The super cool block staircase invites you upward to find that lofty attic room. It soaks in plenty more light and supplies opposing rows of eaves storage. 

Boho amenities of the Bellenden Road Conservation area are all at your fingertips - we love 'The Victoria Inn'. Try the cafés, bars and restaurants or venture into East Dulwich, a 15 minute walk, for some of southeast London’s best shops. Peckham Rye is three minutes walk (Zone 2) and Denmark Hill (Zone 2) inside 15 minutes stroll for services to London Bridge, Victoria, Blackfriars and the fab London Overground Line. You can be at Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) in a mere 14 minutes - now that's an easy commute. A whole variety of buses run into town along Rye Lane, just five minutes away. The Belham Primary free school is due to open a two minute stroll from you door later this year. It's part of the same trust as the highly considered Dulwich Hamlets Schools. The popular Villa pre-prep and nursery is down the road and the Dulwich Foundation schools are a 5 minute drive.
