Jerningham Rd, New Cross, SE14

This 2 bed conversion flat sits on the ground floor of a time-honoured late Victorian bay fronted house, on one of Telegraph Hill's principal residential, leafy streets.
Super close to trains into the City, West End and Docklands, along with an array of buses. Perfectly placed for shops, big supermarkets, fabulous green space, cafes and bars.

Find it just past the junction with Musgrove Rd, we drop down a few steps in the front garden and we're at your own
private front door.
We begin in the kitchen diner. This is a really bright, versatile and social space. Perfect for a morning coffee before the day starts, or slide in from work, pull a beer out of the fridge and take 5 before you start dinner in the well fitted kitchen.

Step down into the hallway and past a couple of really handy storage cupboards, then we're into the main bedroom. A lovely peaceful double with French doors opening onto the side return and garden.

Next up is bedroom two, a great guest or kids space, and following on is the bathroom: lots of natural light in this smart, functional space, with a crisp, white suite and tiling, and a mixer shower over the bath.

The end of the hallway brings us into the lounge. The bay windows provide the afternoon sunlight, and French doors invite us into the garden, a dreamy 70' or so, with a self-built work from home or studio space.


Double glazing throughout, including the garden structure, keeps things quiet and toasty.

Getting around is a breeze: New Cross Gate station is less than 5 mins away, for mainline trains into London Bridge in 7 mins, and Overground trains (Weekend 24 hours) connecting to, well, pretty much everywhere. There's a plethora of buses and night buses just down on New Cross Rd.
A really exciting project is the planned Bakerloo extension, which will join New Cross Gate & Lewisham to the tube network.
For families, local schools are a big draw. Haberdashers Aske's Free Primary & Secondary, Edmund Waller Primary, and Deptford Green Secondary are all popular. Some excellent nursery options around too.

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, tennis courts and great views over the city. There's a skate park, play area and baby/toddlers group, all community driven and led.

Another fabulous community event is the annual Telegraph Hill Festival, running for some 30 years now. 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 the local talent nearing the hundreds!

Shopping wise you're minutes from Nunhead Lane, with a superb fish mongers, long established bakery, butchers and grocers, and of course the big Sainsbury's is just over the road.
