Property description
This wonderful Victorian specimen offers serene leafy views over Warwick Gardens from the rear and a beautiful rear garden stretching 60 feet with its own cherry tree, wild damson and wild blackberry bushes. Inside, the accommodation is spread over four floors to include a large lower ground floor kitchen/dining/living area, a further double reception, three bedrooms, wc and bathroom. Find it on Lyndhurst Grove within the Holly Grove conservation area. The street was originally built as a 'show street' to exhibit the most popular architecture of the day and within a leisurely stroll of Bellenden Road, Peckham Rye train station and the aforementioned Warwick Gardens.
Access from Lyndhurst Grove through high black railings. Steps lead up to a raised ground floor entrance where you'll enter through a classic portico and arrive in the hallway. White painted floorboards run the full length and there's the high ceilings and coving you'd expect of the era. The double reception, separated by wide period doors, enjoys a versatile appointment. A sash to the front peers over the garden and has original wooden sliding shutters. There's a fireplace and mantel as the main focal point. French doors to the rear lead to a super Juliet balcony that in turn brings you to a decked area and onto the garden.
At the end of the hall you'll descend a mini flight to the lower return which boasts a well concealed laundry cupboard, guest w.c and sliding patio door to the garden. The lower ground floor generously lends itself to a substantial open plan kitchen diner with parquet flooring. Cabinets and counter space on four walls means your guests will be well catered for. Again there's an aspect to both front and rear allowing for an airy vibe in the summer.
A brisk trot up to the first floor reveals the master bedroom which faces front spanning the full width of the house. Two sash windows face over the leaves of a mature tree affording seclusion and wonderful mottled light. The second bedroom faces over the garden with views of Warwick Gardens. The second floor is mainly given to a third quaint bedroom with period feature fireplace and decent loft storage. A sash window and further Velux supplies further park views. The second bathroom (also on this floor) has pretty tiling and a modern suite. A further linen cupboard completes the tour.
Lyndhurst Grove borders the burgeoning Bellenden Road area putting this house at the hub of the whole Peckham regeneration experience. Access to the city and West End is easy by car or public transport - take the ubiquitous no. 12 bus or walk five minutes to Peckham Rye station (zone 2) for fast and frequent services to Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars. The high street, Rye Lane, is a stone's throw for a cosmopolitan mix of food shops and other outlets. As for social life, good restaurants, bars and delis are on your doorstep and the Peckham Pulse, award winning library and Sunday farmers market are around the corner. This part of SE15 is also well located for East Dulwich and Dulwich Village where you have more excellent shopping, the Dulwich Foundation schools, the park and the Picture Gallery.
