Flat for sale in London SE22, 1 Bedroom

Bumper size one bed Victorian conversion flat on generous corner plot; enjoy direct and street access to a large private garden. The flat also boasts its own entrance, a new boiler, and a share of the Freehold. The 565 square foot property’s smashing just as it is, but has glaringly-obvious potential and scope to extend and enhance – appropriate permissions obtained.

Find it on a quiet, tree-lined residential East Dulwich street, close to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres (walk 6 minutes), and to East Dulwich and Peckham town centres. You’re pretty much equidistant from East Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations (a 15 minute, flat walk to either). Parking is unrestricted, on street.

Your front door opens into a handy lobby that’s great for coats and shoes, and beyond here you land in the chunky reception room of over 15 feet by over 14, with bay window to the front. Stripped floors, pale walls and built-in alcove shelving are all welcome features. On through and you arrive in the wide corridor that can double as a study space or even a slim dining area. The double bedroom’s next door, and a double-glazed window here looks onto the side return area of the garden. Set at the rear of the flat is a modern, fitted kitchen and modern bathroom, too. Both have double-glazed windows and are in good order. The back door opens from the kitchen onto the garden, which, with lawned, decked and bordered areas, is over 30 feet by over 20. We’re more than a bit smitten with the cerise hydrangea! You also have an apple tree, rhubarb plant, herbs galore, and established perrenials.

Local shops and a lovely cafe are a 3 minute walk away on Barry Road. North Cross Road is a 5 minute walk for awesome Saturday market and open-all-week independent boutique shopping, plus independent cafes and restaurants (we like Bonne Bouffe and byob Thai Corner Cafe). Lordship Lane is a 10 minute walk for banks and more shopping options (we rate smbs Foods, The Cheese Block and William Rose particularly highly), plus trendy chains, East Dulwich Picturehouse, and an M&S Food Hall. Working off the good life? Walk 8 minutes for East Dulwich Leisure Centre, or ‘sign up’ for British Military Fitness sessions on Peckham Rye.
