Period Charm At The Front, Modern Kitchen Living At The Back. A classic bay window and fireplace welcome you first, before a stunning skylit kitchen opens onto a south-facing garden. All just four minutes from the station and Nunhead's vibrant village vibe.

Some houses make you choose between traditional character and modern comfort. Not here.

From the street, it’s every inch the Victorian terrace you’d hope for. And inside, high ceilings, ceiling roses, coving and a wide bay window give the double reception room real presence.

The front room feels calm and private, helped by the hedge outside. Engineered wood floors run underfoot and there’s a lovely traditional cast-iron fireplace.

Sliding pocket doors separate the reception room from the hallway. They’re ideal for keeping small children or pets safely where they should be, while still giving you clear sightlines across the ground floor.

And then you reach the part of the house that redefines it.

The recent (2023) renovation included a full-width rear extension, new roof, landscaping and significant internal upgrades, all completed with planning permission and building control sign-off. 

The result is a kitchen space that feels bright, sociable and built for modern life.

The vaulted ceiling and skylights flood the room with natural light. A large island anchors the space, making it just as suited to weekday breakfasts as long, sociable evenings.

Shaker-style cabinetry, quartz worktops and integrated Bosch appliances are paired with a separate washer and dryer, American fridge freezer and wine fridge. Underfloor heating keeps the space comfortable year-round.

Large sliding doors connect directly to the garden, giving you an easy, natural flow between inside and out.

The south-facing garden was redesigned alongside the extension. A brick terrace leads onto the lawn, with new fencing, outdoor lighting and structured planting that brings colour from February through to autumn.

The patio level feels particularly private, not overlooked by neighbouring houses at this height. There’s also a useful shed and space for a BBQ and bike storage.

A downstairs WC adds practicality to the ground floor layout. It’s one of those features that’s essential in a busy household and will be welcomed by guests.

There are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom on the first floor, along with a newly fitted family bathroom that’s finished with marble tiling and an electric opening skylight that brings in natural light and fresh air.

The top floor provides a fourth bedroom within the loft conversion. Front skylights, a full-width rear dormer and deep eaves storage give it real presence and usable space.

Built-in wardrobes and drawers are deceptively deep, and there’s a stylish ensuite shower room on this level, making it ideal as a main bedroom suite or if you’re feeling generous, a guest room.

Location is the final piece that makes this home so special.

Kimberley Avenue is a tree-lined street with a strong community feel and a mix of families, young professionals and creative types. Neighbours know each other, and events like the Nunhead Art Festival give the area real personality.

Families will appreciate the choice of schools close by, including Ivydale Primary School and the “Outstanding” St John’s and St Clement’s CofE Primary School, both just a short walk from home.

Nunhead station is only a four-minute walk away, with direct trains to Blackfriars and Victoria in roughly 17 minutes. Queens Road Peckham is about 12 minutes walk away, with trains to London Bridge (8mins) and Overground connections if you need a Plan B.

There’s plenty of green space nearby - Nunhead Cemetery is five minutes away, Telegraph Hill around ten and Peckham Rye roughly fifteen. Evelina Road offers a great choice of independent cafés and pubs, along with a Co-op and traditional shops including a bakery, fishmonger and butcher.

If you do have a car, on-street parking is free and unrestricted on Kimberley Avenue, with electric charging available one street over.

This is a house that keeps its grand Victorian proportions intact while delivering everything modern family life demands - with four bedrooms over three floors, a south-facing garden, a sociable kitchen and a location that keeps you connected.

If you’d prefer to move into a finished family home rather than plan your own renovations, this is one worth seeing. We’re expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a private viewing.
