Property description

Boasting every inch of elegance one would expect of a Talfourd Road classic, this splendid four bedroom semi-detached period beauty will be the clear winner in your search. Spread over four lovely floors, each enjoys sash windows, high ceilings and fitting décor. The house commands an airy, pleasant demeanour throughout. The generous, split level rear garden has a westerly appointment meaning your summer gatherings will milk every last drop from the evening sun. Afterwards you can retire to the well-equipped summer house for some bubbly. Inside, the accommodation sprawls to comprise a large double reception, huge lower ground floor living/dining area, kitchen, four bedrooms, pantry, guest wc, wine cellar and two pretty bathrooms. There's even a Dumbwaiter to aid serving at the house-warming banquet - Downton Abbey eat your heart out! The windows throughout benefit from recent draught proofing (some are brand new). You're perfectly placed for the boho delights of Bellenden Village. Peckham is an easy ramble as is Camberwell and Warwick Gardens. Transport links include Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations - both easily walkable. 

High, privacy-affording Beech hedging borders the front garden inviting you through a leafy arch to find Cedar cupboards and a pebble bed fringed with planters and mature foliage. Well trained Trachelospernum and Jasmine each climb the front of the house. There is side gate allowing for easy bike and bin movement (remember to disable the sensor lighting when you're sneaking back in at night)! Grand steps rise forth to a larger than average portico where a handsome olive green door with brushed steel knocker set invites you inward. The impressive wide hall (big enough for an upright piano) is infinitely made wider by a wonderful circular window that opens through to the double reception. A door further along the hall invites you to inspect it. It's dual aspect with both garden views and a pretty streetscape. The front bay has some exceptionally fab original shutters stripped back to the original grain. The wide arched marble mantel plays host to a cast iron wood burning stove and is flanked by low level storage units and raised shelving. To the rear of the space you meet that oh-so-nifty rope and pulley operated Dumbwaiter - great for efficient amuse bouche delivery (or a cat elevator perhaps)?  Both ends of the room have picture rails with complimentary colours on the frieze and fill. 

Steps lead down from the hall to a Juliet balcony - one could easily instate steps to the garden. There's a handy guest wc and adjoining wine cellar to complete that level. The lower ground floor initially impresses you with a boot hall with separate entrance (great for mucky dogs and snowy Wellington boots). The second super deep living area stretches almost 13 metres from front bay to rear bi-fold garden doors. A comfortable seating area with window seat and log burner supplies the perfect winter warmer. A dining area (with adjoining larder) next precedes your unbeatably bright kitchen which basks in light that gushes down from your vaulted glass ceiling. The constant UK sunshine can be blocked by the fitted blinds. There's a double ceramic butler sink, Iroko counters, a five ring gas hob, oven and underfloor heating. The rear garden is packed full of landscaped lushness. Victoria and Green fruiting plum trees and some mature raspberry bushes supply a yearly bounty for Jam and the like. There's a super wooden summer house to the rear that offers any amount of uses. Built in lighting will keep the party going and it's got electricity and Wifi access in case you finally get that business going. The terrace and side passage all enjoy York paving and there's some rather dishy Iroko topped steps. 

Heading up your original staircase (painted white and with runner and original hardwood handrail) you're struck with further fabulous garden views. A large rear facing sash on both landings keeps the whole space bright as a button. Your first two double bedrooms take the lion's share of the first floor. The front facing room has fitted storage and the rear number is larger and steals yet more leafy tranquillity. Both have access to a 'Jack and Jill' bathroom with walk-in shower, double bath, underfloor heating and a front facing frosted sash window. The second floor gifts you two further double bedrooms. One faces front and one rear. There's a further bathroom and yet more storage on the landing. 

I am sure we don't need to convince you of the popularity of this area - Talfourd Road is a quiet, attractive street close to Bellenden Road with all its useful shops and restaurants, including the wonderful Ganapati and The Begging Bowl. There is also a super bookshop, a good dry-cleaners, funky florists, a top boutique and an art gallery (Moca). For pints and yummy nosh check out the Victoria Inn - a much loved local boozer. Regular trains from Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill go to Victoria, Blackfriars and London Bridge. Work in the City? Door to door, you can reach Canary Wharf et al in around 30 minutes on the fab London Overground line. Catch a bus from the bottom of the road and enjoy the sights en route to Notting Hill. Nippers? There is the lovely Villa Nursery at the top of the road (parents and their littlies flock here from miles away). Camberwell supplies a further flood of bars and eateries - we love The Hermit's Cave, The Grand Union and The Crooked Well. The very lovely Warwick Gardens are just up the road if you fancy a picnic - you're bound to bump into any number of friendly creative professionals.
