Splendid one bed apartment of 578 square feet on the first floor of a handsome Victorian house, close to both New Cross Gate (6 mins) and Queens Road Peckham (10 mins) stations, within Telegraph Hill conservation area. The impressive building has recently been sympathetically converted to a very high standard; the owners have created four generous, architect-designed apartments with pleasing finishing and details such as old school style radiators, Farrow & Ball and Little Greene wall and woodwork colours, sash windows, stripped floorboards, built-in storage and original fireplaces. There’s a deep shared front garden and the flat has its own big rear garden section (which is accessible via the side of the house). Share of Freehold.
Up a few steps and open into a large shared hall and take the stairs to the first floor where you’ll find your own front door. Once in you have a storage cupboard to your immediate left. Turn right to find the huge reception room that’s open-plan (by design not compromise) to the stylish, timeless kitchen; the whole space is over 20 feet by over 15, and has two sash windows to the front of the building onto far-reaching and interesting urban views up to the City. The kitchen worktops are Carrara marble and you have a Smeg oven and integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The large double bedroom (of nearly 15 feet by over 13) is set to the rear of the building and has two sash windows, a decorative fireplace, smart pale carpet, and two big, built-in wardrobes in each alcove. A door opens from this room to the slick shower room with large shower, marble tiling, and contemporary high-end fittings. A sash window delivers pretty views of trees and handsome homes lining and climbing up Pepys Road.
Telegraph Hill – the largest and most desirable conservation area in New Cross – is popular for its lovely Victorian parks and fancy Victorian architecture. The neighbourhood was once home to Victorian poet Robert Browning and was developed in the late C19th, replacing market gardens which were owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (who controlled the development), with high-standard housing. As well as the attractive architecture and period street lamps, what stands here now is a leafy community with weekly Farmers’ Market and community event calendar, plus good connections to central London alongside great schools and parks.
New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham stations are both a short, easy walk away for Overground and regular services (London Bridge is just one stop from nxg, or pick up the Jubilee line at Canada Water). The day and night bus routes are brilliant too in this part of town. A Curzon cinema is local within the Goldsmiths University campus, plus a new contemporary art gallery too (both very much open to the public).
Local watering holes include The White Hart, The Rose Inn, Beer Rebellion, The Montague Arms and The Earl of Derby at The Telegraph. A tasty pizza joint is local on Queen's Road (Mamma Dough). For organic deliciousness, groceries and also Tango dancing(!), check out The Rosemary (a Hungarian restaurant and farm shop) on New Cross Road. Blackbird Bakery by qrp station is great for fresh loaves or a coffee-meet (also has ‘pizza lates’). Sainsbury's and tk Maxx stores are local by nxg station. For more options, it's a short jaunt to Greenwich, Deptford, Nunhead, Peckham and Camberwell.
