3 bedroom terraced house

Spacious Three Bedroom Victorian Home With Abundant Original Charm - CHAIN FREE.

This magnificent, larger than average three bedroom period home boasts an impressive array of period detail throughout. From the sublime feature fireplaces and cornicing to the original finger plates, period storage and curtain bars, you'll be beguiled at first glimpse. Over two supremely spacious floors the property comprises a grand double reception (easily arranged as two separate rooms), dining room, kitchen, three large double bedrooms, wc and a family bathroom. The rear garden is mature and of a generous disposition. This locale is incredibly well connected. From here you're within an eight minute stroll of Nunhead station for swift services to central London and beyond. Nunhead is an easy walk for any number of eateries, pubs and amenities. Even closer is the inimitably atmospheric Nunhead Cemetery - the perfect place for a thoughtful stroll! Peckham and East Dulwich are both easily reached for further social endeavours.

Harlescott Road is mature, peaceful and packed full of charming period homes. Enter through a neat front garden with hedging and tiled path. A recessed portico presents a handsome door which has a pretty knocker and some exquisite original stained glass (the first of plenty). The inner hall greets you gracefully with cornicing and tasteful tones. Beautifully stripped and polished original timber floors continue into the grand double reception, each end of which boasts a gloriously ornate period feature fireplace. Both delightful specimens have pretty tiling and tiled hearths.

Picture rails, ceiling roses and cornicing continue to delight. The space is separated by wide original room dividers allowing versatility and there are dishy rear French doors with more stained glass. Further along the hall you meet a side aspect dining room with fireplace, original storage and a handsome side bay window - perfect for the dining table. A deep recessed understair storage point will house the mops, brooms and Mr Muscle. Beyond this you find a simple kitchen, off which sits a wc and utility space. The garden is accessed from here and promises a fine spot for veg-growing, sun baking and entertaining.

Ascending your gorgeous staircase you'll note original decorative balustrades, each with their original spindles. The treads and risers have been painted white and there's an ivy green runner with original brass carpet bars for good measure. The first of your fantastic double bedrooms peers rear on the return. It's a peaceful, pleasant room with views over the garden. Original storage hugs a period feature fireplace and there's a handy butler's sink and wooden counter space - perfect for guest use or a lodger. The bathroom sits next door with a period style suite, heated towel rail and bathroom with shower. A pretty stained glass window has a side aspect. On the first floor you meet a wonderfully wide, front facing master bedroom with feature fireplace, picture rails and a wide bay window. Bedroom three has more original storage, cornicing and (as you'd expect by now) a pretty feature fireplace.

Walk to Nunhead station (Zone 2) in less than eight minutes for trains to Blackfriars (St Pancras during the week) and Victoria. In the other direction the P12 will take you to Peckham Rye or Honor Oak Park station for trains to London Bridge and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) too. Bus No. 343 will also take you to London Bridge and New Cross Gate and the 484 will go to Lewisham. Brockley and Queen's Road Peckham stations on the TFL Overground line are each easily reached on foot. The recently refurbished and family friendly pubs of The Waverley and community pub The Ivy House are tantalisingly close, and you'll find local shops, eateries and pubs on Nunhead Lane (including a super wet fish shop). A little further afield is Peckham Rye park, and the shops, restaurants, and pubs of East Dulwich. Whilst Peckham is awash with eateries, funky bars and artistic endeavours. We love Frank's Cafe roof top bar and restaurant - great for some tunes and views. Keeping fit? Peckham Pulse is a short bus ride and has a good gym, two swimming pools and loads of evening classes. The highly considered Ivydale Primary School is but a short hop making your life easy peasy in the mornings!
