Williamson House, London SE14

This smart two-bedroom apartment lies on the fourth floor of Williamson House, a contemporary residential development in Peckham. Its east-west orientation disperses brightness across the internal spaces, which have been designed for open-plan living and appointed with meticulous care. A generous private balcony captures far-reaching views toward Greenwich.



The Tour



Williamson House sits on a tranquil, residential pocket of Peckham, with off-street parking at the front. Broad sheets of glazing and large balconies line the brick façade, and a large entrance gate at the street level provides shared access to the building. This apartment sits on the fourth floor and can be reached via lift or stairs.



Entry is to the hall, with two practical utility rooms and plenty of built-in storage space. An impression of lightness and calm pervades the interiors, finished with white painted walls and grounded by wood-effect floorboards in light tones.



A luminous east-facing open-plan living forms the heart of this home, arranged with kitchen, dining and living zones. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors along the eastern elevation provide access to a large private balcony. Set along one side is a bespoke L-shape kitchen with cabinet fronts in soft pastel tones and white work surfaces. Integrated appliances are by Bosch and include induction induction hob, oven, fridge/freezer and Flavel dishwasher.



Two west-facing double bedrooms with mirroring layouts and carpeted flooring sit at the far end of an internal corridor. The principal bedroom has mirrored built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a shower. The second bedroom has a full-height fitted wardrobe and currently serves as a quiet home office. The shared bathroom is accessed from the hall and has a shower over bathtub and a built-in vanity unit.



Outdoor Space



The living area opens onto a large east-facing balcony that feels wonderfully private. There is space for sitting outside in the warmer months and far-reaching views of south London’s cityscape and Greenwich in the distance. Residents have access to communal outdoor green spaces and a children’s playground.



The Area



Williamson House is ideally located between Peckham and New Cross, a thriving pocket of south London renowned for its wide selection of restaurants, bars and cafés. For everyday amenities, a Budgens supermarket is conveniently located on the lower ground floor of the building.



The centre of Peckham is close by, as is the Surrey Canal Path, a beautiful strip of woodland that connects to Burgess Park in the north and with Peckham Square in the south.



Persian restaurant Persepolis is a local favourite, along with The Begging Bowl. Queens Road is home to Blackbird Bakery, which sits tucked under the railway arches, Peckham Cellars, Mama Dough’s pizza restaurant, and several new independent bars.

It runs Overground (Windrush line) services north to Shoreditch High Street, Dalston Junction and Highbury and Islington, or Clapham Junction in the south.
