2 bedroom ground floor maisonette for sale

This two-bedroom apartment in Peckham has undergone an exemplary extension in recent years, with an astute eye for materials and textures. Newer additions include a poured concrete floor and swathes of glazing that merge inside with the well-kept garden beyond. The apartment is incredibly well-connected: Queens Road Peckham is a 10-minute walk away and runs the Overground (Windrush line), with connections to the Jubilee and Northern lines, as well as Southern services to London Bridge in around seven minutes.







The Tour







A shared front door and hallway provide passage to the apartment's private entrance. The main living spaces are found at the rear, with Crittal-inspired doors that frame views of the garden. Here, delineated areas carve out space for dining, cooking and seating; the latter lies adjacent to the garden, surrounded by exposed London stock brick, with timber beams above.







A kitchen with shaker-style mouldings is crowned with timber worktops and is set beneath a large, pitched skylight, allowing it to be flooded with natural light. There’s a gas range cooker, butler sink and an integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher. An island doubles as an informal breakfast bar, with the main dining area beyond.







The principal bedroom is at the front, with space for the bed beside a Victorian bay window, between bespoke joinery. The second bedroom, also a double, has views of the courtyard with a hand-built storage unit.







Both rooms are served by a bathroom with teal herringbone-laid tiles, an elegant reeded glass window, a roll-top bathtub and poured concrete floor.







Outdoor Space







The garden has the full breadth of landscaping; paved slabs for outdoor dining, a lawned area with planted beds on either side, as well as a slightly raised decked area and a shed at the rear.







Out and About







Friary Road is brilliantly located between Queens Road Peckham and the top of Rye Lane. A new vegan restaurant, Naifs, has a well-loved food and bar menu, situated at the end of the street. The Duke of Sussex is the neighbourhood pub, serving up Sunday Roasts and a pub quiz.







Recent local additions include the Blackbird Bakery, Eagle Eats Bakery, Queens Bar, and Mama Dough’s pizza restaurant. AMP – a local Bauhaus-style gallery – runs pop-up contemporary exhibitions hosted by Maverick Projects, who stage various art and cultural events across their venues in the local area, including at the Grade II-listed Asylum Chapel nearby.







Nearby Bellenden Road has an excellent spot for independent dining, drinking and shopping; favourites include Artusi, The Begging Bowl and Flock and Herd butchers. The Bussey Building, off Rye Lane, hosts an active and varied programme of yoga/dance classes and workshops, along with a residency from the Royal Court Theatre. Peckham Levels hosts street food, bars and cafes, along with live music. The green spaces of Telegraph Hill, with wonderful views over the city, and Peckham Rye Park are a short walk away.







The apartment is well located for local schools; within walking distance are St Thomas’ The Apostle (secondary and sixth form) and Harris Academy, with local primary schools including Harris Primary Peckham Park, John Donne, Edmund Waller, John Donne and St Mary Magdalene Church of England.







Queens Road Peckham is the nearest station, just a 10-minute walk away, running London Overground services to Shoreditch High Street and Dalston Junction in one direction and Clapham Junction in the other. Connections to the Jubilee line can be reached at Canada Water (10 minutes) and the Northern line at Clapham North, via Clapham High Street (11 minutes). Southern trains run services to London Bridge with a journey time of around seven minutes.
