Beautifully Presented Two Bedder With Lush Private 40ft Garden.

This fantastic share of freehold Victorian property comes well arranged and presented, retaining the charm and warmth of the period structure while also benefiting from contemporary comfort and style. Spread generously across the ground floor and comprising two double bedrooms, comfy living area, modern bathroom and well stocked kitchen, the property is completed by an impressively large, green and leafy private rear garden. This locale is seriously well connected, situated in the sweet spot between East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Brockley, Forest Hill and Honor Oak. A Zone 2 destination that's abundant with greenspace and surrounded by village-like highstreet hot spots, it's not only quick and easy to get into The West End or The City but also affordable.

The property is within a ten minute walk to Nunhead Station for swift services to central London - Victoria Station in 16 mins and Blackfriars 18. With Brockley station almost as close as Nunhead, the Windrush line and overland to London Bridge means East London is also easily accessible. Regular P12 buses run the length of Ivydale Road with abundant additional local bus services to Peckham Rye, Dulwich, Honor Oak, New Cross and further afield. For those with cars, this area of tree lined Ivydale provides good on street parking, without any need for a permit.

Versatile in layout, the front bedroom is currently utilised as a spacious study/home office, comfortably fitting double occupation and perfect for Work From Home needs. The 'Little Green' heritage colour scheme, bespoke alcove storage and window seat designed to store a sizable music collection, add to the home library atmosphere. Down the hall, the second bedroom easily fits a king size, has floor to ceiling alcove storage and a large window that offers a relaxing view of the garden. Yet more storage is provided in the hallway with a generous under stairs cupboard.Further towards the back sits the heart of the property - the side facing living room. Next to the kitchen and tucked away from the street, it's super cosy.

The bay window invites the garden in while also retaining privacy. The traditional Victorian side return means this area of the property feels secluded and quiet, great for movie nights on the sofa! Stepping into the back garden is like entering your own private oasis. Every season has its perks, from unfurling fern fronds in spring to a beautiful red virginia creeper in the autumn. A rare gem in terms of space and maturity, this garden provides both an area to play and to relax. The cottage and woodland style planting allow for a soft natural environment, welcoming for wildlife - with notable appearances by great spotted woodpeckers, wagtails and bluetits, joined by butterflies in summer and even the odd dragonfly. It's not a bad spot for a Barbecue either!

Nunhead really does offer the very best in South London living. The Waverley Arms and community pub The Ivy House are tantalisingly close, the latter also comprising a popular music and events venue. You'll find shops, eateries and pubs on Nunhead Lane (including a super wet fish shop), with the boutiques, restaurants, and pubs of East Dulwich a stroll away across beautiful Peckham Rye Park and Peckham itself awash with funky bars and artistic endeavours. We love Frank's Cafe rooftop bar and restaurant - great for some tunes and views. For high class take-aways, head over the bridge to Brockley Road where you can choose between pizza from Yard Sale or grab some award winning Fish and Chips at Brockley's Rock, then settle down to watch the local cricket club at picturesque Hilly Fields. Film buffs will love the local choice, from £5 features at the PeckhamPlex to arthouse offerings at The East Dulwich Picture House.

For an area with an unusually large amount of greenspace, the densely wooded Nunhead Cemetery, now a nature reserve and Site of Metropolitan Importance for wildlife, has to be the star. Lose yourself on its winding paths or take advantage of the well placed 'look out' with historically protected sightlines leading to St Pauls. Keeping fit? Peckham Pulse is a short bus ride and has a good gym, two swimming pools and loads of evening classes. The newly renovated Dulwich Leisure Center is situated in Crystal Palace Road. Additionally Peckham Bowls Club is located at the Southerly end of the Rye opposite the Wisteria draped Sexby Garden. For young families, the highly considered Ivydale Primary School is situated a stone's throw away from the property.
