York Grove, Peckham, SE15

Supersized school conversion apartment of 1025 square feet, with two bedrooms, within a secure gated setting with parking and a shared garden/grounds. 'Assembly Apartments' (see what they did there!) is home to 41 properties, and boasts a strong community. Chain free.

This is a notably quiet spot (York Grove is a no-through-street) yet you are really close to all of the action, and pleasingly close to Queens Road Peckham Station - which is just four minutes by foot, for regular and Overground rail services. You are also but a 15 minute walk from both Nunhead Station and Peckham Rye Station, and from Nunhead's high street area and Rye Lane.

Rich in features, this one! These include super high ceilings, wooden floors, exposed brickwork plus beams and supports, and oversized windows (which make for a wonderfully-bright apartment). And the scale and layout of the flat make it an exceptional space for entertaining.

Your own front door is on the third floor. You land in a generous hall, then to your right, you open into the main room which has your kitchen, dining and reception areas. This runs over 25 feet. The fitted kitchen is a modern affair, and appliances are integrated and included in the sale. A lovely London School Board fireplace features in your reception space.

Next door is a large and long double bedroom, of over 19 feet by over 8 feet. There is good built-in storage here.

Your marvellous mezzanine level hosts the principal bedroom and a modern internal bathroom (with neat white suite), plus a large landing with a huge fitted wardrobe.

Really locally, you have a couple of fab bakeries/cafes in the arches by QRP Station. A new tapas place is soon to open here, too. Mamma Dough, Peckham Cellars, Well & Fed and Beer Rebellion are also popular (all are just a few minutes away on foot), as are Kudu's offerings.

Bellenden Road and Rye Lane offer up more options (a handful of recommendations are Ganapati, Forza Wine, Artusi and The Begging Bowl), and Peckham Bazaar is nearby on Consort Road.

You are a short walk from Peckham Library and leisure centre plus canal path through Burgess Park, and you are also close to New Cross - for Goldsmiths University, a fab contemporary art gallery (Goldsmiths CCA), and Telegraph Hill's pretty Victorian parks.

Nunhead, Dulwich, Camberwell, Greenwich and Brixton are also close for markets, parks, and more places to eat and drink.

Kids, or thinking of? Local nursery and primary provision includes Kender, Edmund Waller and Hatcham primaries, and Monkey Puzzle, Smart Kids and Stepping Stones nurseries.
