Stuart Road, Nunhead, London, SE15

Distinctive and characterful Victorian four bed, two bath terraced house delivered over three floors. Find your new home in leafy Nunhead – one of South East London’s most desirable locations to live. Chain free.

You are just three minutes from Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres. One Tree Hill Park, Nunhead Cemetery (one of 'The Magnificent Seven') and community-run Aquarius Golf Club are also close.

Ivydale Primary School (ages 3-11) is a short walk from the house, as is Puddleduck (independent) Nursery. For secondary phase, the Harris Schools are a short walk either side of the park. All are very popular with local families.

Back to the house! The substantial property – which interestingly historically hosted a butcher shop to the ground floor – has recently undergone a full renovation and extension done to a high and bespoke design standard, using high-quality materials and a stylish attention to detail. Treats include new traditional double-glazed sash widows on the façade, a new boiler (powering the gas central heating and water systems), and underfloor heating to the kitchen.

The ground floor's main event is an impressive reception room of over 23 feet in length, providing an exceptional living and entertaining space with ample room for both formal dining and everyday family life. Fresh white walls and wooden floors further impress.

To the rear, a new kitchen/breakfast room with quartz counters give a timeless look and luxury finish. New skylights and opening to the living/dining room bring light deep into the property and connect the two spaces, perfect for family life, and for social gatherings/hosting. Sliding rear patio doors give direct access to a private patio, fitted with an outdoor socket, mood lighting and bench planters – creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A convenient guest/downstairs cloakroom with basin completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor comprises a newly-extended family bathroom with bath, shower and vanity sink. All sanitaryware and fittings are new and the patterned marble floors and tiling make this a beautiful and high-quality space.

Also on this floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all fully renovated while retaining their Victorian charm. If you don't need all four bedrooms, you can happily use one or more of these rooms for working from home.

Occupying the entire second floor, your bright and delightful master suite provides a peaceful retreat, featuring built-in wardrobes, accessible eaves storage, and a private en-suite shower room. Two skylights feature, plus a Juliet balcony to the rear, which offers far-reaching views over One Tree Hill Park. Set apart from the rest of the accommodation, this floor offers an ideal sanctuary for those seeking privacy and comfort.

The property benefits from planning permission (ref: 22/AP/3316) for a further upward extension that would provide two additional bedrooms, another family bathroom and sizeable south facing roof terrace. Planning permission has been implemented.
