Semi-detached house for sale in London SE22, 3 Bedroom

Handsome three bedroom thirties semi on a wide, quiet, leafy residential street, that puts you just a 3 minute walk from Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres. The house measures in at a very respectable 1256 square feet, and is complete with a lawned south-west facing garden of over 90 feet, and both rear and side access to it. There’s massively-obvious potential to extend out and up (as many of the neighbours have done, and where the side access comes in very handy!). The nearest station is Honor Oak Park, followed closely by Peckham Rye Station. Both are on the Overground line. Parking on the street is unrestricted. Freehold.

A generous front garden welcomes you in, with smart fencing and hedging. Porch first then entrance hall - possibly the best thing (we think) about this period of home - proper halls! Park buggies, scooters, bikes, or set up a keyboard even! The period corner fireplace is a pleasing feature and the first of many. Straight ahead is the second reception - a natural dining room. It’s over 14 feet by over 10, with central fireplace, and French doors which open out onto the large decked area of the garden. To your right of the hall, to the front of the house, is the primary reception room with big bay window. It has stripped floors, another fireplace with wooden surround, and it measures over 15 feet by over 12. The kitchen completes the floor and this is a basic fitted one with white units. A small bay window delivers brilliant garden views, while a back door opens at the side of the house.

Upstairs (noting the lovely big window lighting the stairwell) and access all three bedrooms and the bathroom and separate w.C. Off the landing. The master above the front reception is over 15 feet by over 12 and has a whole wall of built-in wardrobes, and a bay window. Adjacent is a large single bedroom, and at the rear of the house, a chunky second double of over 14 feet by over 11, with built-in wardrobes either side of a smart decorative tiled fireplace and painted surround. All the bedrooms have pale carpets underfoot. The bathroom has a traditional-style suite and frosted double-glazed windows (the house is double-glazed throughout).

This location puts you in easy reach of East Dulwich, Peckham, Honor Oak and Nunhead town centres, as well as the useful local shops and lovely cafes and pubs on nearby Forest Hill Road, plus well-regarded schools.

For stations, you’ve got two to choose from in easy-walking distance: Honor Oak Park (fare zone 3) and Peckham Rye (2). Day and night bus routes are also at your feet, from Peckham Rye. We’ve mentioned Peckham Rye Park and Common; there are loads of gorgeous green spaces to call local - Horniman Gardens, Goose Green and One Tree Hill just three examples.

In addition to the run of handy shops on Forest Hill Road (we’re a bit in love with the Post Office), enjoy those on Lordship and Rye Lanes, as well as those of Honor Oak and Nunhead centres. North Cross Road’s Saturday market is also local. Our favourite nearby cafes are Cafe G on the corner of The Gardens, and Cafe On The Rye, which is just next to the new water activity play area.

Local cinemas are East Dulwich Picturehouse and Peckham Plex (rooftop films also available atop The Bussey Building in the warm months). For social meets, Watson’s General Telegraph and The Herne Tavern are your closest public houses - in dishy Victorian buildings and with big outside areas. Bellenden Road also isn’t far for top restaurants including Artusi and Ganapati. Other great dining options in SE15 include Taco Queen, Banh Banh, Mr Bao, Miss Tapas and Peckham Bazaar. Mamma Dough and Babur in the Honor Oak area are also highly recommended. East Dulwich leisure centre is a short stroll away, or you can ‘sign up’ for British Military Fitness workouts on Peckham Rye. Local schools are well-regarded and include Goodrich, Heber, Fairlawn, Horniman and St Anthony’s (Catholic) primaries, and Harris Academy (co-ed.) and Harris Girls’ Academy secondaries.
