Flat for sale in Somerton Road, Peckham SE15

Stylish and generous two double bedroom first floor conversion apartment, a mere head turn from Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres. A wonderfully leafy position for a well-connected Zone 2 address.

The property has a fresh and neutral decorative scheme, a pleasing split-level layout, and strong choices and finishes throughout (we particularly love the slick white kitchen with marble counters).

Walk to both Nunhead and Peckham Rye stations in 10-15 minutes.

The entrance hall to the building is shared with the single flat downstairs. The door straight ahead is your front door. Open this and ascend to the landing area with eat-in kitchen directly ahead. There’s plenty of storage in here in the white wall and base units, and appliances are seamlessly integrated. Hexagonal slate floor tiles are a further welcome decision.

A large sash window delivers leafy views, and it’s a notably bright room owing to its south-east orientation. Next door you will find a handy windowed guest w.c.

Up a couple of steps and the first double bedroom is off to your left, complete with solid Douglas fir flooring. It is over 11 feet by nearly 10.

The reception room with deep bay window and single sash is a delight, to the front of the apartment, of over 15 feet by over 13. Again you have solid wood flooring (swoon), and bespoke low-level alcove shelving is built-in. You can zone eating, seating and study spaces in here, no bother. The natural light is fab in here (north-west) for afternoons and early evenings.

There’s more! Nip up the stairs again and the shower room sits off to your right - with white suite, while the master bedroom is straight ahead (over 12 feet by over 9). This room benefits from both a sash window and an additional skylight.

You’ll not need to venture far for a brilliant meal or evening out. Locally, check out Mr Bao, Peckham Bazaar, Banh Banh, Miss Tapas and Cafe Britaly. Or trot a teeny bit further for Bellenden Road offerings including Artusi, Ganapati and The Begging Bowl.

Rye Lane is local for Peckham Plex cinema, The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex, and Peckham Levels, as well as fruit and veg stalls, banks and handy high street shops.

Local pubs include The Angel Oak, The Clock House, The Ivy House, The Herne Tavern and The White Horse.

Nunhead’s high street is also close for such pleasures as Kudu Grill, BARD4100, El Vermut, Ayres (bakery) and Soper’s (wet fish shop), plus a community centre by aoc architects on the green.

For more options, East Dulwich, Camberwell, Brockley, Deptford and New Cross are all within easy reach.
