Superb Period Five Bedder With Wonderful Kitchen and Loft Extensions.

This magnificent five bedder is considerably larger than the average period home, boasting a fantastic full width kitchen extension and fab ensuite loft bedroom. It is spread generously over three stylish floors and comprises a double reception, kitchen/diner, five proper double bedrooms, bathroom, shower room, bathroom and ensuite. A healthy sprinkling of original charm includes cornicing, fireplaces and staircase. The head height cellar is great for any amount of storage and there's a yummy decked rear garden to enjoy all year round. The location is as exciting! It's within an easy stroll of East Dulwich Road which is fantastically placed for the hip outlets of Lordship Lane and Peckham. There are excellent train links (East Dulwich, Peckham Rye and Nunhead stations) plus some wonderful open green spaces.

The exterior is expertly augmented to include steel bike and bin storage. This has an irrigation system for the multitude of pretty posies on top. It supplies an attractive feature and privacy for the living quarters. Inward bound you find a hall with high ceilings, original cornicing and a multi-pane period door. Original floorboards run confidently forth past a lovely curved feature wall. The impressive double reception has a wide front aspect bay of sash windows that peer over the daffodils in the front garden. It's a peaceful, bright and spacious room. A wood burning stove with feature fireplace complements a period feature fireplace to the rear and you'll enjoy more ornate cornicing and ceiling roses. The rear chimney breast is flanked on either side by bespoke cherry wood storage. Cleverly, the rear aspect picture window both supplies kitchen views and enjoys an openable upper pane for maximum light and airiness. Raised planters keep things lush and leafy.

A mini descent in the hall reveals access to the head height cellar. This precedes your magnificent full-width kitchen extension which will wow you endlessly. Stunning bespoke wooden cabinets run into an L on the left wall with integrated downlights and stunning natural grain that runs seamlessly from door to door. Thin-cut Quartz counters supply comfortable cooking space and the appliances include an integrated dishwasher, double oven, fridge freezer and a fab induction hob with retractable extractor. A pull out larder and wide anti-slam utensil drawers will neatly conceal all your best tools. The upper units open vertically for the best use of space. The laundry cupboard sits on the far side of the room. A cold and sparkling filter tap adds to the charm and the whole space is kept light and lovely by a run of overhead skylights. Wide sliding glass doors open to the rear to the sunny, pleasant rear garden where hardwearing Swiss Millboard decking creates the best BBQ space imaginable.

Upward from the hall you enjoy a gorgeous original newel post with matching treads and risers. The rear return hosts the first of your double bedrooms which enjoys wonderful garden views through a wide rear bay window. A modern fully tiled shower room sits next door. Upward again you meet the main first floor bedroom which majestically sprawls into full-width. Another wide bay and additional sash window that looks over the Juliet balcony. Bedroom three, another double, is currently arranged as a large dressing room (think of the shoes!). The second return comes much like the first with a bright rear-facing double bedroom enjoying garden views. An additional velux adds considerably to the light. A semi-tiled bathroom sits next door. The final ascent rewards with a lovely double loft bedroom with rear views toward Canary Wharf. Two front aspect Velux open wide in the milder months. An adjoining shower room completes the tour nicely.

Trains from Peckham Rye and East Dulwich are both within 10 minutes’ walk. There's a good selection of buses too at the top of the road (on East Dulwich Road) where you will also find local shops. East Dulwich leisure centre, with Victorian baths and a brilliant gym, is moments away, as is the beautiful Peckham Rye Park. Lots of independent shops and some excellent restaurants like Franklin's, Yama Momo and The Palmerston are close by on popular Lordship Lane. Hip and trendy Peckham offers yet more social, culinary and cultural attractions (we love Frank's Bar and associated art initiative Bold Tendencies at the top of the car park), as does the increasingly vibrant area around Nunhead Green.
