Consort Road, Nunhead, SE15

Substantial Four Bedroom Period Home with Loft Conversion and 125ft Garden.

An unusually large property, and rare in this market, boasting over 2000 sq ft, this fantastic four bedroom family home has the elegant feel of a bygone time. Three light and spacious floors supply two wonderful reception rooms, a welcoming kitchen/diner, utility room, four bedrooms (master ensuite), bathroom and ground level shower room . A storage cellar adds to the capaciousness. The current owners have created an authentic family home, awash with period charm and working fireplaces with sympathetic alterations that allow for a new owner to make their mark. The rear garden stretches an amazing 125ft and includes lawn, lily filled pond, greenhouse, outbuilding, raised bed vegetable garden and some wonderful mature fruit trees. The garden’s sheer size and aspect provide a tranquil respite from London life, while being advantaged by city convenience. The property is truly blessed in its location. On the same road is the newly refurbished Consort Park, with a playground, grassed open areas and outdoor seating while a little further along the road is the charming Peckham Bazaar restaurant which Time Out describes as “one of SE15’s shining stars”. A two minute walk to the south brings you to the village-like charms of Nunhead – a green with a children’s play area, surrounded by a greengrocer, butcher, fishmonger and baker as well as cafes, pubs and pizza bar and restaurant. To the north is the vibrancy of Peckham – with the eclectic Peckham Levels and long established Frank’s Rooftop Bar alongside the thriving cultural scene of the Bussey Building and Copeland Park.

A handsome exterior stretching three windows wide on the first floor invites you off the street through a generous front garden. The inner hall has rustic timber floors high ceilings and picture rails - which extend through both receptions. To the left you find the first of these, front-facing with wide bay window, integrated shelving and original working fireplace. A second similarly generous reception/formal dining room comes next with a huge sash window looking on to the garden. It has fitted storage tucked either side of an open fireplace with cast iron wood burner. For family meals and social gatherings there is a convenient serving hatch into the kitchen. Access to the cellar completes the hallway with excellent storage capacity.

A step down from the hall leads to an authentic and inviting kitchen/diner with floor tiles, wooden mantel above another working fireplace with multi fuel stove and a five ring gas range. The units are mostly freestanding and there is garden access through a part glazed back door. Don’t miss the TFL bus monitor above the kitchen-side of the serving hatch, which can be tailored to display any London stop or station. Beyond this space is an ergonomically designed utility room with fitted shelving, heated towel rail and side aspect. To the rear of this is a fully tiled shower wet room with underfloor heating and garden access.

Upward to the first return you find a Farrow and Ball painted bathroom with cedar wood bucket bath and contemporary suite. Beyond this is the first of your fine double bedrooms - a rear-facing carpeted room with garden views. Upward four steps from the landing you reach the first floor, which hosts two even more generous double bedrooms. One faces front and one rear - both are bright and similarly well proportioned. A further run of bespoke storage on the landing proceeds a handy study space with integrated desk. The second floor loft bedroom is a gloriously spacious and light filled room with abundant fitted and recessed storage, adjoining ensuite shower room and views towards Canary Wharf.
