Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined road in the highly desirable Nunhead area of South East London, this exceptional three double bedroom brick-fronted home offers a unique blend of period-inspired charm and modern functionality.

Uniquely, the property was rebuilt after the Second World War in a Victorian style, making it approximately 80 years old while retaining the aesthetic elegance of the era with beautiful exposed brick facades, high ceilings and timber sash windows. 

Located just under a mile from Nunhead Railway Station, it provides excellent connectivity with direct train services to London Victoria (16 minutes), London Blackfriars, and further destinations such as Welwyn Garden City and Dartford, ideal for professionals and families.

Nunhead, a vibrant inner-city suburb just 4 miles southeast of Charing Cross, is renowned for its village-like atmosphere and strong community spirit. The area boasts a rich cultural heritage, with Victorian-era architecture and abundant green spaces. Nunhead Green, a short walk away, forms the heart of the community, surrounded by independent shops, inviting cafes, and historic pubs like the Old Nun’s Head. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the 52-acre Nunhead Cemetery, one of London’s Magnificent Seven, offering serene walks and stunning city views. Nearby Peckham Rye Park and Common provide ornamental gardens, woodland, and a lake, perfect for relaxation. The annual Nunhead Art Trail further enhances the area’s creative vibrancy.

This elegant home is distinguished by a ground-floor rear side return extension, completed approximately ten years ago by the current owners. The extension creates a spacious, light-filled kitchen-diner, with expansive glass panels that flood the space with natural light and doors that open fully to allow the mature oasis beyond become part of the entertaining space.

Notably, many neighbouring properties in this sought-after location have maximised space by extending into the loft, typically adding two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, offering potential for further enhancement. This property combines historic charm, modern comfort, and future potential in one of South London's most coveted settings.
