Pepys Road, London, SE14

Guide Price: £500,000 - £550,000

Set within a handsome Victorian building and backing onto the beautiful Telegraph Hill Park, this home combines classic features with thoughtful modern upgrades and sits within one of South East London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Inside, the flat has a lovely sense of light and space thanks to the high ceilings and large sash windows (all double-glazed, including the front). The living room has a striking period fireplace, while the kitchen and bathroom both benefit from underfloor heating. The kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances — dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven, microwave oven and washing machine — and the main bedroom features bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes.

Telegraph Hill is known for its strong community feel, green spaces and excellent transport connections. Brockley and Nunhead stations are both about an eight-minute walk away, offering fast links into London Bridge, Shoreditch, Victoria, Blackfriars, Farringdon and St Pancras. New Cross Gate is also within easy reach. For getting around locally, the 484 and 343 buses stop right outside, with routes into Peckham, Dulwich, Lewisham and central London. There’s also the new Bakerloop service from New Cross Road.

Parking is refreshingly easy too — no permit required (other than the free school-zone permit), and there’s usually space right outside.

Within a short walk you’ve got great cafés, pubs and restaurants: The Hill Station café, Skehan’s Freehouse, The Earl of Derby, Good as Gold and Brown’s by Brockley station are all local favourites. For green space, Telegraph Hill’s upper and lower parks offer tennis courts, panoramic London views, a farmers market and a fantastic playground. Nunhead Cemetery, Hilly Fields and Peckham Rye are all close by as well.

Telegraph Hill recently featured in the Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2025 guide, praised for its conservation area charm, community spirit and beautiful Victorian architecture — and this flat sits right in the middle of it.
