3 bedroom maisonette for sale

This wonderful maisonette lies on Bellenden Road, one of south-east London's best-loved streets. It has three thoughtfully designed and bright, peaceful living spaces, all finished with a gentle contemporary scheme. The broader area's amenities, from independent shops to culinary institutions to parks, are all easily reached on foot.



Please note that the ground-floor shop space is also for sale; see our Bellenden Road listing for more information.



The Tour



Entry to the light and airy 1,200 sq ft maisonette is from the street, through a smart front door painted in Farrow & Ball's 'Off Black'. This opens to a hallway, with painted tongue-and-groove panelling on one side. The stairs have been finished with grey and white stripes.



At the front of the first floor is the kitchen, which has smart units made with bespoke hardwood ply doors and work surfaces. Appliances include a black induction hob and a concealed fridge/freezer. A wide window frames a view of the characterful street below. Here and throughout, ply floors and joinery have been finished with Bona matt varnish.



Also on the first floor is the third bedroom, currently arranged as a practical study, with built-in wardrobes and more hardwood floors. This is a peaceful space with plenty of room to hang or arrange art and ceramics.



Stairs ascend to the second floor, where the living room lies. It has two sash windows and sanded and varnished original pitch pine floorboards. A bio-ethanol stove provides a warming atmosphere in the colder months. A bathroom and a separate shower room, both with cork flooring and chrome fittings, lie at the rear of this level.



There are two generous bedrooms on the quiet uppermost floor. Dormer windows in both draw in plenty of light and at the rear offer spectacular views of the City beyond. Elegant natural fibre carpet runs underfoot throughout.



The Area



Bellenden Road is a popular part of Peckham, thanks to its brilliant independent offering. Favourites include Ganapati South Indian Kitchen, Persepolis and the Begging Bowl. General Store is excellent for fresh food, and Flock and Herd is a great local butcher. Lordship Lane and its independent shops and supermarkets are a short walk south.



The much-loved Forza Wine, Levan, Lai Rai and Artusi are also nearby. Larger establishments, such as Frank's rooftop bar, Peckham Levels, and the Bussey Building, attract crowds from across the city.



For greenery and open expanses, Peckham Rye, home to the Sexby Garden, sports pitches, and The Round café, is also a short journey on foot. Nearby is Nunhead Cemetery, a woodland oasis with amazing views across the city skyline.



Peckham Rye is the closest station, running London Overground services (Windrush line); the Jubilee line can be reached at Canada Water. There are also National Rail services to London Bridge in seven minutes.
