Property description

This substantial Victorian terrace has been deftly extended to include a riveting lower ground kitchen-diner extension, an exquisite studio/summerhouse, four double bedrooms, two contemporary bathrooms, roof terrace and bags of stylish appeal. Talfourd Road runs from the debonair Lyndhurst Grove down to Peckham Road in Camberwell. You're nicely sandwiched between the Conservation areas of Camberwell Grove and Bellenden Road. Tucked back nicely from the road, handsome iron railings open onto stone steps up to the original front door. This is a splendid looking house from the outside, and once in, you shall not be disappointed.

A bright, wide hall leads ahead while a double reception is accessed via either door to the right. The room spans from front to rear and offers eye-widening views over the garden, framed beautifully with a superb sash window. The decor is elegant throughout the house with neutral, stylish pale matt shades with this room also benefiting from two feature alcoves, fitted storage and trendy, period school-house style radiators. The rear wall has a slight curve while natural light is optimised by a sunny dual aspect. At the far end of the hall is a study, with access to the rear garden.

Take the stairs down and step into a superb dining room. Under stairs space has been reserved for a sofa, plus there's room for a large dining table and chairs. Contemporary bespoke cupboards seamlessly line the far wall; these have been carefully planned to accommodate everything from ironing boards, brooms, cds, books and paperwork (pull-out filing drawers are installed), they are the perfect storage solution! Under the sofa, a trap door provides access to a cellar that's slightly smaller than the room above and stands around 5ft high - ideal for wine and the like. Walking through the dining room into the glass extension, you have a very dynamic kitchen with five ring gas cooker, eclectic units and worktops. Reclaimed and antique cupboards form the units, plus there's a deep larder cupboard which is also plumbed ready for a dishwasher. Worktops are stainless steel industrial tables, and twin Belfast sinks have been fitted to the right hand wall with concealed plumbing.

Glass doors lead outside to a magical garden with eat-in terrace, deep lawn and a fabulous decked area complete with gas fire pit for chillier evenings as well as a breathtaking summerhouse. Originally built as an artist's workshop the summerhouse has been fully renovated and modernised  to create a stunning indoor/outdoor space with bifold glass doors that open all the way. Wired for cable and with a remote control gas fire, this is the perfect spot to relax and get away from it all. Back inside; find a superb bathroom just right of the dining room, with frosted internal window and tasteful white suite. This is a lavish size and has a deep cupboard at the rear of the room plumbed ready for a washing machine. Opposite the staircase, a hallway stretches forward with door out to the front of the house. Left is a double bedroom, currently used as a cinema room with enormous wall mounted television and ceiling recessed speakers - all included in the sale. Just opposite is the lower ground front entrance with a large gated outside cupboard, the perfect place for the odd bike and your wellies.

Heading up to the first floor, you pass slim French doors at the half-landing that lead to a small, perfectly formed roof terrace. Continuing up, there's a magnificent contemporary bathroom to your left with luxurious fittings including a separate shower cubicle and tub. Next to the bathroom is a walk-in closet with ample space for even the most discerning fashionista. Spreading right across the front of the house is a beautiful master bedroom with cast iron, reclaimed radiators, a fitted wardrobe and shelving, and twin sash windows. Find two further doubles on the second floor, exact mirrors of the rooms below. Fitted cupboards and period fireplaces are found in each, while the front bedroom also has fitted bookshelves and more yummy reclaimed radiators.

Talfourd Road is well located for Camberwell College of Arts and Kings College Hospital. It’s a 6 minute walk to Peckham Rye mainline station (zone 2) for fast and frequent trains to Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars. Slightly further is Denmark Hill station and there are, of course, a huge variety of buses running into town along Peckham Road, just three minutes away. Bellenden Road, with delis, cafés, boutiques and bookshop, is a pleasant stroll past Warwick Gardens. Ten minutes on foot is the Peckham Pulse leisure centre and the award winning library and there's a Farmers Market in the main square every Sunday morning! Schools are excellent with Dog Kennel Hill, Lyndhurst Grove, and The Villa Pre Prep all very local. Dulwich foundation schools are only a 5 minute drive.
