Jerningham Rd, Telegraph HIll, SE14

Compelling and commanding three bedroom period maisonette, occupying three floors of a grandiose VIctorian Semi detached house.

Spanning 1230 square feet (or 114.2 square metres in new money), and sitting towards the top of the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, there's lots of light and space, but we'll start outside, where you have the rarity of an off-street parking space.

The front steps and main entrance are yours exclusively, and we enter into the hallway with traditional encaustic geometric tiling, then its up the stairs to the first floor rear landing.
Here we have bedroom two. A fine double, overlooking the rear garden, with neutral decor and lots of light coming in through the twin sash windows.
Next door is the bathroom, family sized and family fitted, with a free standing roll topper and separate shower cubicle.
Good natural light in here too, and the traditional feel continues with metro style wall tiling in white, and geometric floor tiling reflecting the entrance hall.

Up to the first floor front landing, and we enter into a magnificent living dining space. Bay sash windows, high ceiling and skirtings, picture rails and a spot-on feature fireplace ooze period style, and the classy boldness of the dark blue and contrasting white decor complete the picture. At nearly 20' across and over 16' into the bay, it's certainly stately enough!

Behind this we find the kitchen/diner. Very nicely fitted with light grey shaker style units, and integrated appliances.
The large South-East facing window floods with morning light, and there's plenty of room for the family dining table.

Up again to the second floor rear landing where we find bedrooms 1 and 3. The main bedroom is again a very good double, overlooking the gardens, and this one comes with an array of built in closetry. Super bright via the twin sash's,

Last up is bedroom three. Supremely versatile as a nursery or child's room, guest bed or WFH space.

The rear garden is an absolute delight of over 72' (22 metres), with lawned area, al-fresco dining space and tool shed.

So what's around? Community is a big thing on the Hill, and the hub is the Hill Station cafe which puts on great art and music events, hosts a great pizza place and is hugely popular. The parks were refurbished some years ago, thanks to the local Telegraph Hill society, and are both great spaces with a weekly food/craft market, great views over the city. There's a skate park, play area and baby/toddlers group, all community driven and led.
A fabulous community event is the annual Telegraph Hill Festival, approaching its 30th anniversary. It's an eclectic programme of music, dance, comedy, pop up events, art and craft shows, mysteries and a huge musical extravaganza performed by a cast of all local talent nearing the hundreds!

A short walk away, Nunhead lane is bedecked with well established independent shops such as Soper's Wet Fish Shop and Ayre's Bakery, plus some relative newbies like the super eco friendly BYO refillery and the uber cool EL Vermut bar. Lots of bars and eateries down on Queens Rd, such as Blackbird Bakery, Beer Rebellion,Kudu and Mama Dough. You get the picture.

Transport is dreamy, with New Cross Gate, Nunhead and Brockley stations all super easy on foot, all Zone 2 and on the main line into London Bridge and the Overground for greater connectivity, and can whizz you out to deepest Kent and Surrey for the weekend walks.
The 343 Bus to/from London Bridge is a 24 hour service and comes past the door.
A really exciting project is the planned Bakerloo extension, which will join New Cross Gate & Lewisham to the tube network.

Deptford market is well worth a trawl, and a little farther afield is Maritime Greenwich and Blackheath, separated by some fabulous green space.
