Property description

Roll up, roll up, roll up! It's not hard to see the opportunity before you. Spanning an incredulously huge 8,000 sq ft (plus garden) and incorporating the workshop of a Victorian jam factory (how sweet), the property and plot comes with full planning permission for two further spectacular three storey, three bed houses each with gardens. The existing property already offers flexible accommodation across two dwellings (with interconnecting door on 1st floor) with 12 rooms, plus 2 shower rooms and 2 bathrooms.The proposed development will gift the original dwellings their own private garden while  the two new dwellings will have vehicular access through existing central front gates leading to off-street parking for three cars. Go on - admit it - you're excited. The area is being tipped as London's 'hippest borough' by those in the know. You're within easy reach of Peckham, East Dulwich, Nunhead, Telegraph Hill, New Cross and the maritime delights of Greenwich aren't much further. London Bridge station journey times from Queen's Road are an impressive 7 minutes. The London Overground line is proving a real hit. Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) is a mere 10 minutes and Shoreditch only 17 minutes away. Hipster's ahoy!

The existing main house greets you with an arched fanlight and twin arched panes. This opens to a huge hallway with solid oak flooring, dado rails, seating and counter space and fitted storage. There's a guest wc tucked under the carpeted stairs. The first living space faces front through the bay window which has fab vertical original wooden shutters. There's a feature mantel and picture rails separating dusky blue and cream on the frieze. Rear from the hall you meet a super sized kitchen/dining space - kept light and lovely by a huge overhead vaulted skylight. The cooking area boasts beautiful country style cabinets, thick cut oak counters, twin ceramic butler sinks and a six ring gas range with hot plate. The fridge freezers, dish washers, and washing machine are integrated. Continuing rear you find the studio/study area. There's a painted concrete floor and mammoth space for displaying/creating your next work of art. The current owners have a further seating/cinema space to the rear preceding the entrance to the fittingly vast rear garden. A door from the rear of the kitchen/dining space links you to the garage/workshop (originally the courtyard to the factory) which has access to the front via electric roller doors. Two huge storage areas (the original jam factory) lead rear off from here. The studio and garage will make way for the bulk of the two new dwellings and parking space should you proceed with the proposed development.

Moving upward from the entrance hall in the main house you'll note a white painted staircase and plush runner. The main bathroom is a rather glorious affair. It sits on the first return with a period feature fireplace, ceramic sink and utterly gorgeous roll top bath. There's a seating area to the rear preceding French doors which open to a flat roof. Upward again to the first floor you find a huge front facing double bed with further feature fireplace and storage. There are more dusky and delicious wall shades separated by picture rails. The landing continues right to offer an even larger master suite. The space offers separate lounging and slumber areas as well as another feature mantel and the most lovely vaulted ceiling with beams and storage mezzanine. This part of the landing also hosts a shower room and yet more storage/dressing room. French doors off the second return open to a lofty roof terrace from whence you get a decent view of Canary Wharf - great at night! The second floor hosts a handy one bedroom unit with living space, cooking section, double bedroom and separate shower room. It's perfect for stashing granny or nanny. The second existing self contained unit, accessed to the left of the front electric roller doors, offers a large ground floor semi open plan living space. The kitchen adjoins to the rear and has ample dining space. A cast iron spiral staircase twists upward to the first floor where you'll meet two large double bedrooms and a modern bathroom.

Telegraph Hill park is a short walk and Greenwich is a short bus ride too for antiques, good restaurants and fascinating history. Head south to Nunhead high street (a few minutes stroll) for an excellent wet fish shop, bakers,deli, green grocers and florist. Just a little further is the mouth watering farmer's market on Sunday mornings in Peckham's town square. Apart from the generous proportions and superb transport links you are also close to green spaces and the acclaimed Peckham Library, the Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre and within an easy drive of the boho amenities of Bellenden Road. With cafés, bars and restaurants, plus a good bookshop and boutiques, it's a pleasurable way to spend a Saturday afternoon. New Cross is also easily reached for a large Sainsbury's and the world acclaimed Goldsmith College.
