Terraced house for sale in Surrey Road, Nunhead SE15

Well-presented four bedroom, two bath Victorian terrace over three floors, incorporating a deftly-done loft extension.

A mature well-stocked garden of circa 40 feet impresses to the rear (where afternoon sun delights), and on-street parking is currently unrestricted. The street further benefits from high-speed fibre cable.

The location is a quiet residential back street, close to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres and to (volunteer-run) Aquarius Golf Club.

You are a 20 minute walk to Nunhead, Honor Oak Park and Crofton Park stations, and a short bus ride to Brockley and Peckham Rye.

Local schools? These include Ivydale Primary School, Newlands Academy (secondary KS3 and 4) and Harris Academies (Girls’ and Boys’ secondary schools).

A neat walled front garden sets you back from the street. From your hall you have a large and light opened-up through-reception to your right, with custom-made window shutters (which are staying), wooden floors underfoot, and custom-made alcove storage in the second reception space/the natural dining room. A glazed door accesses the side return section of the garden and gives you lots of greenery to enjoy on the eyes.

French doors open from the modern kitchen - which is a generous white gloss one in galley-style. A stainless steel splash back looks and works great. And all appliances are pleasingly included in the sale (fridge/freezer, five ring gas hob, microwave, oven, washing machine and dishwasher). The sellers are also including in the sale the fitted Hilary blackout blinds throughout the house.

Up to the first floor and you will first find a large bathroom with independent walk-in shower and twin sinks. The sanitary ware and fittings are all contemporary, and you have large profile floor tiles, recessed lighting, and a modern vertical radiator.

From the main landing you have your first two bedrooms - of over 12 feet by over 7 feet, and over 13 feet by over 11 feet. Both have stripped floors. The master (across the front of the house) has a bank of floor to ceiling built-in closets along one whole wall.

Head up the stairs for bedroom three, which is a newer addition to the original footprint of the house, set to the rear. It is over 12 feet by over 7 feet, with a Juliet balcony.

At the top of the house is the fourth and final bedroom with two Velux windows and another Juliet balcony. Next door is a slick modern shower room (with Velux). Both rooms have easy cupboard access to useful attic space in the eaves.

Green space? Peckham Rye Park & Common is your most local green space (walk five minutes) - comprising a Victorian Park and historic common; a pleasant refuge for both the local community and wildlife. It’s home to ornamental gardens, streams, woodland and a lake, playgrounds and a cafe, plus outdoor gym.

The park has been awarded Green Flag status and has a long, rich and engaging history; it was recorded as being cultivated before the Norman Conquest in the 11th Century.

At the SE15 edge of the common you have a host of cool eateries and cafes including Mr Bao, Voodoo Ray's and Bahn Bahn.

Bellenden Road, Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane are also close for yummy restaurants (we love Levan, Ganapati, Il Giardino, The Begging Bowl and Artusi), cool bars and pubs, Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, and Peckham Plex Cinema (fiver-films-forever).

You are a short stroll from Nunhead and East Dulwich’s town centres, too. In Nunhead we like El Vermut, BARD4100 and Kudu Grill, plus Ayres bakery and Soper’s wet fish shop.

Brockley’s also close for more options, and for pubs - The Ivy House, The Waverley, The Herne and The Angel Oak are all lovely locals.
