Hawkslade Road, Nunhead, London, SE5

Architecturally-treated, stylishly and recently renovated two bedroom ex-LA second (top) floor apartment of over 500 square feet, with fab far-reaching views and dreamy sunsets from your deck access. Pleasingly, the property is double-glazed throughout.

There is welcome shared outside space to enjoy (this is at ground floor level), and residents have use of sheds and a sizeable planter for growing your own veg/fruit/herbs.

The street is a quiet residential back street. The stuff of driving lessons! Such a quiet yet well-connected locale, and a short stroll from the small town centres of Nunhead, East Dulwich, Peckham and Brockley. For stations, Nunhead and Brockley are both an easy 15 minute walk.

And what a green spot! You are really close to the delightful public spaces of Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill, Peckham Rye Park and Common, and Nunhead and Camberwell New cemeteries. Also nearby is Aquarius Golf Club (a unique 9-hole one; run by volunteers).

Take the stairs to the second floor and your own front door is at the end of the walkway (= nobody will ever be walking past). The northwesterly views are brilliant. You will like the idea of buying this flat before you’ve even been in it!

In your front door and you are greeted with an open-plan through-room, incorporating kitchen, dining and seating areas, with brilliant built-in storage and seat. Your custom-made kitchen, ceramic butler sink and open shelving all impress. Appliances are included in the sale.

Your windowed bathroom is accessed from this room. This has contemporary sanitaryware, an over-bath shower, powder blue square wall tiling, and cool ply boxing and storage.

Next door you have bedroom one, of over 10 feet by 8 feet, with a built-in closet.

Lastly you have your principal bedroom, of over 11 feet by over 9 feet and with a sunny southeasterly orientation. Another built-in cupboard features here.

We have mentioned your closest rail stations. For bus travel, you are close to a 343 and 484 bus stop. The 343 connects you to central London’s Aldgate via London Bridge (and at night the N343 runs every 30 minutes from Trafalgar Square, directly home!). The 484 gives you Lewisham Station/town centre, Camberwell Green via Goose Green, and Denmark Hill Station.

Locally, we love Nunhead’s staples such as FC Soper (fishmonger) and Ayres bakery. El Vermut and Mother Superior (cute independent bottle shops/bars) are super too. Your most local pubs include The Ivy House and The Waverley Arms. Both have a friendly community vibe.

Peckham’s Rye Lane has lots of trendy spots such as Peckham Levels, The Bussey Building, and rooftop bars for summer months. Bellenden Road is just a little further for great restaurants such as Artusi, Ganapati and The Begging Bowl.
