Rokeby Road, Brockley, London

Chain free and recently renovated two bedroom flat which takes the ground floor of an attractive double-fronted Victorian house. A low-maintenance lawned garden completes the offering.

Find your new pad (just in time for BBQ season!) on a pretty residential one-way street, within Brockley Conservation Area.

Walk 10-12 minutes for three stations: Brockley, New Cross and St John’s. You can also walk to DLR services at Elverson Road, Deptford and Lewisham stations. Brilliant bus routes are nearby, too, on Lewisham Way, including the 21 to London Bridge, the 436 to Battersea and the 172 to Waterloo.

There is just one flat above yours, and you share a neat entrance hall. Your own front door is the one on the left. First to your left is your principal bedroom, of over 10 feet by nearly 10 feet. Next on your left is your smart, sash-windowed bathroom. This is beautifully-appointed (you are in for a treat!), with traditional-style sanitaryware and fittings including the over-bath shower.

Next door is the second bedroom, of nearly 11 feet by over 6 feet.

There is a back door at the end of the hall out to your lawned garden. This faces sunny east, with a very generous twist of south. You’ll not want for sun!

A couple of built-in cupboards tick that “storage?” box, then you have your independent slick fitted kitchen with window out to the garden, with your reception room next door. This is over 14 feet by over 11 feet, so you have enough space to have both seating and eating/dining areas. Nice!

There is a real buzz about this locale, in the press and on the ground. You have loads of independent cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from. We’re particularly fond of The Broca cafe and Browns of Brockley (right by Brockley station), Ellary’s and Mauby restaurants on Harefield Road, and Meze Mangal on Lewisham Way.

Toward Lewisham, Middleton cafe/deli is a cute, popular spot, as is The Talbot pub opposite. The Brookmill is a popular neighbourhood pub as well.

Lewisham Arthouse is at the end of your street for interesting exhibitions, plus drawing, ceramic and photography classes. And contemporary gallery: Goldsmiths CCA, is local as well.

Of the weekend, check out Brockley Market which will become your weekly street food and grocery Mecca, or saunter down to The Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hip Deptford is also easily-walkable for loads of independent bars, eateries and markets.

In the other direction, Peckham and Camberwell are a short bus ride for more options.

Green-space? Luxmore and Friendly Gardens are both really close, or check out Hilly Fields, Telegraph Hill’s Victorian parks, Nunhead’s beautiful cemetery, or Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres.

Schools? Local primaries with integral nurseries include Myatt Garden, Ashmead, Haberdashers’, John Stainer and Edmund Waller primaries.
