Waller Rd, Telegraph Hill, New Cross, SE14

Waller Rd.....a tree lined street that gently inclines up Telegraph Hill and leads us to this two-bedroom, split level garden flat.
Descend the front steps to your own front door, and we begin in the kitchen.
Sleek and well fitted with the usual array of appliances. There's room for a fold down bistro table too.

From there, a meandering, split level hallway opens the rest of the flat to us, beginning with the bathroom. It's an all-white Tardis-like affair with a three piece suite AND shower cubicle. All finished off with white metro styled tiling.

Next up is the main bedroom, a great sized double, with neutral tones.

Back to the hallway (check out the funky bench and clever storage) and skip up to the raised level and we're into bedroom two. Lovely bay windows to the side flood with natural light. There's a mirrored, full height built in wardrobe, stripped wooden flooring and the decor is contrasting.

Along the hallway again and into the lounge. Bright and super-comfy, French doors and a further side window. There's a feature fireplace aperture, and wooden flooring.
Throw open those doors, it's a lovely, green vista, and the afternoon sun hits perfectly.

The garden - 50 feet of South-West facing joy. Lawned, with a decked area at the bottom, just right for catching the morning Sun. A terrace outside the French doors is your afternoon spot, with a water feature.
Working from home one or two days a week? No worries, the studio has you covered, with power and lighting, it's a very handy and useful additional space.

What do the present owners say?
'We love that the flat is cool in the Summer and easy to heat in the winter. The garden studio has a range of uses - we've had dinner parties, done pilates/yoga, chilled with a book or some music and it made a perfect WFH space too’.
'The garden is lovely and such a versatile space. The decking is our favourite place to have breakfast, and the patio by the pond for lunch and afternoon/evening sun.'
'There's lots of inside and outside storage too, with plenty of cupboard/shelving space and the tool and bike sheds'


Parking is unrestricted on street, and transport options are superb, with New Cross Gate, Nunhead and Queens Rd stations largely equidistant and will whisk you into London Bridge in less than 10 mins, and Victoria in less than 20, all Zone 2. Loads of buses too, including the 343 which runs all night and will get you home from London Bridge if you missed the last train!

Locally, the buzz is that you'll be immersed in an amazing community spirit here, evidenced by the imminent two-week annual festival - one of London's largest independent festivals, incorporating art, music, dance, food, a huge community musical, comedy, even a mystery - all locally produced.
Open Studios is another extremely popular event where people open up their gardens and art spaces over a weekend. The Hill Station community cafe and pizza bar on Kitto Rd by the upper park and the weekly Saturday market in the lower park are other examples of how the community pulls together.

Down on the main thoroughfare, there's a large Sainsbury's that also delivers, and Nunhead Lane bristles with cool, independent shops, bars and eateries.

Locals love The Telegraph and Skehans pubs, The Rosemary Hungarian Restaurant, The Old Library Bar, Kudu, Peckham Cellars, Beer Rebellion, Well & Fed, and Blackbird Bakery.

The upper park is the place to watch the Fireworks on New Year's Eve, and if a Dog is on the
horizon, it's the walking/meeting place too.
The lower park is where families hang out and is a fab chillaxing space.
