Property description

This fine Victorian three bedroom specimen, built circa 1860, offers wonderful leafy views over Warwick Gardens and a deftly executed contemporary glass extension to enjoy it from. The accommodation is spread over four floors to include a large lower ground floor kitchen/dining/living area, a further double reception, sun room, three bedrooms, wc and bathroom. The ceilings are predictably high and you'll enjoy some sympathetic styling throughout. The leafy rear garden supplies a super chill venue - you might even spot the Orient express tootling by! Originally built as a 'show street' to exhibit the most popular architecture of the day, Lyndhurst Grove commands effortless popularity. Nestled within the Holly Grove conservation area, the surrounding streets retain much of their original charm and character. There's even a Pulp song written in honour of a party at no.59 visited by Jarvis Cocker himself! Legend has it he got kicked out and wrote the song as revenge. Bellenden Road is a two minute stroll through the park for a boho village vibe.

Elegant black railings invite you off the street to find a gravel bed with mature rose bushes. Stately steps lead to the original door where frosted panes and a brass knocker set lead inward. The hall is fresh and bright with white painted floorboards, staircase and lovely curling banister. The double reception stretches over 20 feet and continues through rear French doors to the sun room which is unbeatably bright. The lush green vista is wonderful throughout the changing year - it'll make a fab office, spare bedroom, or place for star-gazing. The reception enjoys original shutters, cast iron school house radiators, contemporary mantel and a stunning oriental accent wall. Back in the hall you descend a half flight to find some neat storage tucked under the stairs - great for shoes, coats and brollies. A frosted glass door leads out to the garden and a double height glass ceiling, shared with the sun room above bathes the whole space generously in light. A further half-flight descent reveals a great dining space with a wall of folding, sliding doors onto the garden, and comfy built-in bench seating with ingenious storage under. Past this you meet the kitchen with yards of thick cut oak counter space running down both sides. There's a double butler sink and loads of storage for pots and pans. A comfortable living/TV space fronts the street, with a useful walk-in storage cupboard as well as a separate laundry room/wc, with tons of drying space and plumbing for a shower. The large south-facing garden is a wonderfully sunny, peaceful spot backing onto the park, with mature shrubs and trees, and decked areas, with outdoor lighting for summer dinner parties. There is a fantastically useful side access to the garden, for bringing through bikes, and direct access to the kitchen for all your shopping.'

Snake upward to the first floor to find a bright and bold landing with more white painted floorboards. The bathroom is beautifully presented donning vintage style Aston Matthews fixtures and fittings. There's a roll top bath, walk-in shower, heated towel rail and underfloor heating. The boiler cupboard features some nifty holes on top to dry the towels above. Two bedrooms each face front over the Grove. The double room has some fitted shelves and a floral feature wall. The single room enjoys plenty of fitted wardrobe space and is currently used as a dressing room. One final climb rewards with the master bedroom which enjoys plenty more storage and a large rear aspect Velux window. 

Access to the City and West End is easy either by car or public transport, options including mainline trains and a plenitude of buses. Peckham Rye (zone 2) station is a five minute stroll away for the London Overground line and further over land services. Ubiquitous bus routes, including the No. 12  are at the end of the street. Warwick Gardens is a matter of seconds away and offers an incredibly well-loved community space, with an active Friends group, and a playground, dog walking area and sports field which are all great places for meeting friends. The space hosts a range of fun events like a slightly alternative dog show, and has even had a couple of small music festivals! (Perhaps Jarvis might make an appearance one of these days). The highly considered Villa nursery sits close to the entrance of Warwick Gardens - now that's an easy morning jaunt! The Boho amenities of Bellenden Road are also on your doorstep, including some superb restaurants (try Ganapati on Holly Grove), boutiques, cafés and bars. The Victoria Inn supplies the perfect spot for a pint and some fab pub grub. Petitou is a lovely spot for a coffee and a read of the papers. We're particularly fond of the Begging Bowl - easily one of the best Thai restaurants in London. Flock and Herd Butchers will supply you with quality produce all year round and the Artusi Italian restaurant received a rave review from Jay Rayner. East Dulwich is a 15 minute walk for an extensive list of eateries, organic butchers and various gift shops. Rye Lane supplies a further host of attractions. Dulwich Foundation Schools are within a short drive. A Sunday Farmer's Market and monthly French Market are very close too.
