An Elegant Nunhead Home For Those Who Appreciate Design, Detail and Daylight. With high ceilings, a show-stopping kitchen, gorgeous garden and two inspiring home offices (one with a terrace), it’s only 8 mins to the station but you’ll never want to leave.

If you're looking for a home where every room feels considered, every finish feels elevated, and where working from home doesn’t mean compromising on style - this is it.

Set across four light-filled floors, this handsome five-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace has been tastefully extended and expertly reimagined for modern living. 

It’s a rare blend of space, sophistication and soul, tucked into one of Nunhead's prettiest tree lined streets.

Let’s start with the kitchen - it’s exactly where you’ll want to be. 

Fully extended and flooded with natural light from morning to evening, it’s a space designed as much for entertaining as for everyday living. 

With 3.2m ceilings and crittal-style Fabco Sanctuary doors, it’s light, airy and packed with thoughtful touches - bespoke handmade cabinetry, Armac Martin brass handles, Siemens appliances and mood lighting throughout. 

Casual dinners on the round table or island feel just as special as any dinner party guest.

The hidden pantry even has hot water and filtered taps. Then there are ceiling speakers and there’s underfloor heating too.

The bay fronted lounge flows beautifully to the dining room - grown-up in feel and framed by double doors. 

You’ll walk in and the room opens up in front of you, with ultra high ceiling heights adding a real sense of space. 

The lounge at the front is carpeted and cosy - a calm retreat for evening films or lazy Sundays.

Downstairs, the basement utility room doubles as a second kitchen, with a second Siemens oven, washer-dryer, clever storage and even wine racks to keep bottles cool. It’s practical and party-ready in equal measure.

Upstairs, the first floor has three generous double bedrooms, including the bay-fronted main with air con and a  dressing area tucked behind each side of the bed, connected by a hidden laundry basket that keeps things neat.

The middle bedroom has blackout blinds and has the benefit of aircon too. 

At the back of the home you’ll find the guest bedroom, which is bathed in afternoon and evening light.

The spa-like four-piece family bathroom is a real standout, featuring a huge egg shaped freestanding bath and a full-height window that lets the daylight pour in.

The top floor offers two further rooms - currently used as inspiring home offices - with ceiling speakers, peaceful views and real space to think. 

One opens out onto a private terrace, perfect for coffee breaks and blue-sky moments. 

The second features a Juliet balcony and enjoys uplifting natural light all day. 

There’s even a spot where you can look down through the glazed kitchen roof and watch the kids play below - one of those unexpected, joyful design details that makes this home such a pleasure to live in.

The southwest-facing garden is a Mediterranean-style sanctuary, complete with olive trees, acer, wisteria and magnolia. It’s low maintenance, beautifully planted and ready to use year-round, with mains power, built-in seating with storage and a heater for cooler evenings.

And while you may not want to leave, it’s nice to know you can be anywhere with ease. Nunhead Station is just 8 minutes walk away with direct trains from Zone 2 to Victoria and Blackfriars, while Brockley Overground adds a useful Plan B. 

Peckham Rye Park is under 10 minutes away, and you’re close to some of the best food, drink and independent shops in southeast London. 

If you have young children, Ivydale Primary School is just round the corner.

This is the kind of home that doesn’t come up often - at over 2,200sqft it’s bigger than most on the street, designed with real thought, and full of clever, beautiful details that elevate daily life.

If you want to come and see it, please call or email us. And if you know someone who’d love it, send it their way.

Please note: a lamp post with small street sign has been removed from the front photo of the house
