Holbeck Row, Peckham, SE15

Sublime Three Bedroom Period Beauty With Pretty Rear Garden.

We can't speak more highly of this glorious three bedroom Victorian home. The current owners have lovingly crafted a home of distinction. The interior boasts a uniquely tasteful combination of contemporary class and original charm. Original cornicing, reclaimed period fireplaces, contemporary Crittal doors and a picture-perfect bathroom and kitchen - it's all a delight from start to finish. The accommodation comprises a lovely double reception, large kitchen/diner, three proper double bedrooms, a fancy bathroom and a handy wc. The rear garden is no exception to the rule - beautifully manicured and lush with greenery. We're literally in love! The row offers as many charms - peaceful and pretty with a neat communal sitting space at the end.

Queens Road station is a 10 minute walk for regular swift services to London Bridge in around 7 minutes. Alternatively, Peckham Rye station is a 15 minute walk for the Victoria and Blackfriars/City options too. Both stations enjoy the hugely popular London Overground Line. From the Old Kent Road, pick up any number of buses to various London destinations, including a 5 minute journey to the newly vamped up Elephant & Castle. Burgess Park with its lakes, hills, old Victorian buildings and tennis club is one of the most impressive Urban parks in South London just a 10 minute stroll away along the old canal pathway from the home.

A handsome door, stripped to its original glory greets you with colourful oblong stained glass panes. It opens to an inviting hallway with high ceilings and impressively maintained decorative cornicing. Horizontal timber floorboards are stripped and varnished and there's a vibrant orange waist-height school-house-style radiator. Nip right to find the wonderful double reception with more yummy floors and cornicing. Contemporary shutters grace the front aspect triptych of original sash windows. A working fireplace to the front has a dainty yet regal marble mantel and there's a recessed feature alcove to the rear. Further along the hall you meet a handy guest wc with side aspect sash window and neat wash hand basin with brass fixtures. A laundry cupboard sits opposite and houses the boiler. The generous and slick kitchen/diner stretches a reassuring 17 feet and enjoys plenty of light through a wide sash window and rear aspect Crittall double door. There's oodles of counter space and storage and room enough to host both sides at Christmas. Appliances include a five ring gas range, integrated fridge/freezer and wine cooler. The rear garden is perfectly formed with raised planters fringing your patio on all sides. It's private and peaceful. Heading upward you find a long landing with more gorgeous original floorboards. A skylight sits next to pull-down loft access. The master bedroom fronts the street with more lovely bespoke shutters on two large sash windows. Terracotta walls will delight, as will an ornate feature fireplace. Bedroom two has terrific black painted floorboards and an equally dishy feature mantel. Bedroom three, another fine double, is carpeted and has a side aspect. Last but not least comes the bathroom which dons a modern white suite and tiling.In addition to London Bridge services, Queens Road also benefits from the London Overground Line with services to Clapham, Canada Water (for the Jubilee Line), Shoreditch and Islington. This is a seriously well connected location, as well as Queen's Road station there are also good bus links into town from the end of the road - the 436 will take you all the way to Paddington and once in Peckham you have the option of the ubiquitous number 12. Your local area is awash with social endeavours! We love Frank's Cafe roof top bar and restaurant - great for some tunes and views. The much loved Prince of Peckham is just a short stroll for some fab soul food and craft ale pub, Beer Rebellion is within a staggering distance. Even closer are the cafes and eateries of Queens Road. Check out Kudu, Smokey Kudu and the fantastic Peckham Cellars. We love the Well & Fed for a coffee before the commute. Keeping fit? Peckham Pulse is a short walk and has a great gym, two swimming pools and loads of evening classes. Endless yoga classes are only 10 minutes away from the property on Rye Lane in the Bussey Building or Peckham Levels, including hot yoga. Groceries? Both Asda and Tesco supermarkets are a two minute drive (on the Old Kent Road), or there's a big Morrisons in Peckham. Parks? Burgess Park is the nearest as mentioned above, but there is also Peckham Rye, Ruskin Park and Dulwich Village park all close by. Jump in the car if you want to see the river in Greenwich and check out the markets here or in nearby Crystal Palace or hangout in the super cool Deptford. Eating out? We like Ganapati - Keralan cuisine on Holly Grove (15 minutes by foot). Camberwell is also nearby and has a host of amazing eateries and pubs including Theo s, The Hermit s Cave, The Crooked Well and Camberwell Arms.Tenure: Freehold Council Tax Band: D
