2 bed flat for sale

Ivydale Road, Nunhead SE15

Spacious and bright two double bedroom ground floor Victorian conversion flat of 647 square feet, with a properly lovely sw-facing private garden (complete with home office/garden studio with power – which pleasingly backs onto the mature greenery of Nunhead Cemetery). A useful storage cellar completes the package.

Your part-walled, suntrap-status garden has two access points: From the kitchen/reception, and from your second bedroom. Nice!

A fab flat, and a leafy yet well-connected spot to boot. You are just a four minute walk from Nunhead Station (or walk to Queens Road Peckham or Brockley stations in 15). This trio are all Fare Zone 2.

One could extend over the current side-return, should you fancy a project once-in. Many neighbours have done so. Though we love it just the way it is!

From the shared main hall (there is just one flat above yours), your own front door is straight ahead. High ceilings impress from entry.

To your left you have your lovely principal bedroom (once the main reception for the whole house), which is over 14 feet by over 11 feet, with a big bay window, an original fireplace with marble surround and tiled hearth, alcove shelving and cupboards, and a deep green hue to the walls. Stripped and treated floors are underfoot.

Adjacent is your second bedroom. A generous double once again; it is over 11 feet each way, with built-in closets and more stripped original floors. Double-doors deliver you directly to the side-return area of the garden.

At the foot of the hall, open into your double-aspect reception/dining room/kitchen, which runs over 23 feet. Dreamy parquet herringbone flooring hits all the right notes. The natural space to set your dining table and chairs is nestled by the property’s second bay window (there is a side door out to the garden to the left of here, with cat-flap already installed!).

Your immaculate fitted kitchen has classic Shaker-style cabinetry with solid marble worktops and splashback, and classy brass hardware. A ceramic Butler sink further impresses, and you have high-end integrated appliances (inclusive of a full-size dishwasher) included in the sale. Double-glazed double doors open out to your glorious garden which has paved and lawned areas and a healthy lawn, plus wide and well-stocked borders. Work from homers will enjoy the garden studio. Or use it as a home gym or chill space should that suit your requirements better.

Right, before your double doors out from the kitchen, and you have the property’s luxury and windowed bathroom. Here, traditional-style fittings (including your over-bath shower plus separate spray attachment) and marble detailing seriously impress. Further, you have under-basin storage, T&G, and beautiful glazed ceramic wall tiling.

What’s around? Walk just four minutes to Nunhead Station for frequent Thameslink (Farringdon, Blackfriars) and Southeastern trains (Victoria), noting the friendly garden centre (The Nunhead Gardener) en route. And Queens Road Peckham and Brockley stations are each about a 15 minute walk apiece. Both are on the London Overground network for Windrush line services.

Schools? Ivydale, Hollydale and Edmund Waller primaries are all a short walk (3-11). Under half a mile away.

Nunhead Lane is your local and well-stocked high street with great staples including Ayre’s bakery and Soper’s wet fish shop, alongside other great offerings like BARD4100, Goodcup/Goodnights, Mother Superior and El Vermut.

Local pubs to you include The Old Nun’s Head, The Protechnist’s Arms, The Ivy House, The Waverley Arms and The Earl of Derby.

Your local park is Telegraph Hill Park with tennis courts, community cafe (The Hill Station) plus pizza place, and London skyline views; walk there in under 15 minutes.

Nunhead Cemetery is set right behind the gardens on this side of the street: One of 'The Magnificent Seven', and Peckham Rye Park and Common is about 20 minutes on foot.
