Ready For You With Room To Grow, On A Quiet Nunhead Street That’s Handy For Shops, Schools And Stations. An updated Victorian terrace with three double bedrooms, a landscaped garden, a studio and space to extend. One where you don’t have to choose style, scope or a sought after SE15 spot. 

Finding a family home that works right now - and still has room for you to grow into - is harder than you might think. And finding all that in a place you'd actually like to live (rather than just settle for) is the part that usually gets sacrificed first…

Thankfully with Rye Road you really can have it all - in a sought after SE15 spot.

The house has been thoughtfully updated and improved by the current owners who bought it in 2017. 

The living room and dining room is a brilliant open space, with engineered wood flooring running from front to back.

The fitted kitchen is quite compact but modern and fully equipped with NEFF and Bosch appliances, looking out to the lovely landscaped garden at the back. 

Upstairs, the first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom that genuinely stops people in their tracks. 

Fully renovated, it has floor-to-ceiling marble-effect tiling, underfloor heating, a bath with overhead and handheld shower, illuminated recessed niches and a funky glass shower screen that shifts colour in the light. 

The main bedroom occupies the loft, with a skylight and plenty of eaves storage

Out the back, the south-west facing garden gets sun through the afternoon and into the evening. Large ceramic tiles frame a lawn with established tropical planting and there’s a versatile wooden studio at the far end. It’s fully insulated, with power and ethernet, so it’s perfect for working from home or the exact opposite - somewhere you can escape for a quiet retreat.

The garden is sure to be somewhere you’ll enjoy but it also gives you scope if you did want to extend - either adding a side return or stealing a little space to expand the kitchen. And the layout means it should all be achievable without too much upheaval (subject to planning permission, of course)

If you have young children, the popular Ivydale Primary is only a six-minute walk away - and directly opposite the house is Newlands Academy. 

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to green space, with Peckham Rye Park only an eight minute walk away, with a café, pond, skate park and multiple playgrounds.  Nunhead Cemetery and its surrounding woodland are also close by for longer walks. 

The Ivy House pub is only three minutes from the front door, and Nunhead's independent shops - including a traditional fishmonger, butcher, greengrocers and a handful of genuinely good cafés - give the immediate area a friendly village feel. Mosey is a firm favourite with the current owners - the kind of neighbourhood café that quickly becomes a weekend habit.

Then there's Peckham, half an hour's walk through the Rye - and worth every minute of it. There’s Peckham Bazaar, Mr Bao, Tonkotsu and Voodoo Ray's for food. The Bussey Building for events, with a rooftop cinema that has views across the whole city. 

Nunhead station is less than a 15 minute walk away, with direct trains to Blackfriars, St Pancras and Victoria. Honor Oak Park, on the Windrush line gives you a Plan B that gets you to London Bridge in under twenty minutes. 

And for those who cycle, central London is around forty minutes away and east London closer to thirty. 

Rye Road really is a real rare find - a Victorian terrace with three double bedrooms, in this condition, with a garden studio, a south-west facing garden and genuine extension scope. And all at a price point that's genuinely hard to find in SE15 right now.
