Hanover Park, Peckham, London, SE15

Guide price £500,000 - £525,000. A beautifully presented two-bedroom Victorian top-floor apartment, arranged over two floors and offering 844 sq ft of well-balanced living space, with a share of the freehold, held through a resident-owned company of which the flat owners are directors. There is no monthly service charge and no ground rent is collected, with costs limited to buildings insurance and shared maintenance as required.

The flat is built around a generous open-plan kitchen-diner measuring 20'3 x 13'3, with a breakfast bar and room for a full dining table alongside. Doors open directly from the kitchen onto a private balcony, giving you outdoor space off the room where people actually gather, and a layout designed around cooking and hosting rather than a corridor kitchen tucked out of the way.

Period character has been kept and worked with rather than stripped out. Sash windows and high ceilings sit alongside a contemporary kitchen and a walk-in rainfall shower, and the pitched ceilings and skylights of the original roofline fill the living space with light. Being on the top floor, there is no one above.

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, and the top floor adds a dedicated storage room with a fitted wardrobe, keeping everyday clutter out of the living space. Dedicated storage is a rare thing in a London conversion.

Peckham Rye station is a five minute walk, with trains to London Bridge and Victoria in around fifteen minutes, and the Overground running west to Clapham Junction and north through Dalston to Highbury and Islington. Frank's Cafe and Copeland Park, with its bars, restaurants and gyms, are on the doorstep, alongside the independent shops of Bellenden Road, the length of Rye Lane, and Peckham Rye Park and Common for open green space. Parking is permitted on the road adjoining the building.
