What Would You Do With A 100ft Garden (With Studio), A Luxurious Kitchen & Four Double Bedrooms? Host friends, work from home or just stretch out in style? This thoughtfully extended SE15 semi has got the space you crave, plus walk-to-everything convenience.

Just a few minutes walk from both Queens Road Peckham and Nunhead, this beautifully reimagined Victorian home blends smart design with everyday comfort. There's a huge landscaped garden, a fully powered studio and a state of the art kitchen made for lazy lunches and long weekends.

Inside, the ground floor sets the tone with a lovely mix of old and new. In the front reception room, a custom-built library wall nods to the home’s Victorian roots - while a discreet, drop-down cinema screen brings movie nights firmly into the now.

Beyond that, the second reception room adds smart storage and a natural flow into the kitchen - fully reworked with Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, a vast Dekton island, and steel-framed Crittall doors. Remote-controlled blinds and UV filters on the kitchen roof help keep things cool in summer, while underfloor heating keeps it toasty in the winter.

The hallway includes a built-in shoe cupboard and clever under-stairs storage. And tucked to the side, there's a handy separate entrance to the garden - ideal for bikes, dogs or muddy prams - with wall-mounted racks to keep everything off the ground (not the dogs, obviously!).

Step into the beautiful back garden and the city fades away. It stretches a full 100ft - was re-landscaped in 2023 and has been cleverly planted for maximum impact with minimal maintenance. Think peonies, jasmine and hydrangeas, plus a versatile studio at the far end that’s powered, heated and roomy enough for a home office, fitness zone or even the odd overnight guest.

Upstairs, the first floor features a south-facing main bedroom with bespoke wardrobes and a luxurious marble-clad ensuite. There are two more double bedrooms at the back of the house, with open views across Peckham’s rooftops and into the city. They share a thoughtfully finished family bathroom, with more Mandarin Stone marble, a walk-in shower, underfloor heating and a deep natural Lusso stone bathtub.

A large fourth bedroom occupies the entire top floor, with fitted bookshelves and skyline views across to the Shard. At night, you’ll catch it glowing from the window - a quiet reminder you’re still in the heart of London.

And you really are - because Brayards Road puts you at the crossroads of some of SE15’s best bits. Nunhead Green is only a 5-minute walk away, with its butcher, fishmonger, deli and cocktail bar. 

Head the other way and you’ll hit Copeland Park, the Bussey Building and all the creative energy Peckham has to offer. The recently converted railway arches now house a sauna, yoga studio, climbing gym and more - jokingly dubbed the “Peckham wellness precinct” by the locals.

For transport, you’ve got the Windrush Line and National Rail from Queens Road Peckham (7 mins to London Bridge), plus Nunhead station for trains to Blackfriars and St Pancras. And for young families, local state schools include Edmund Waller, John Donne, Ivydale and Bellenden primaries - with The Villa and Banana Moon nurseries both close by.

Neighbours here know each other by name. They water each other's plants, share cat-feeding duties and wave from the front steps. It’s that kind of street.

This is a stylishly extended Victorian home with standout space, smart upgrades and a 100ft garden that’s so rare to find in Zone 2. From the sun-soaked kitchen and cinema screen to the garden studio and skyline views, this SE15 four-bed hits all the right notes.
