2 bed maisonette for sale

Barforth Road, Nunhead SE15

Delightful purpose-built two bed (one double, one single) mid-thirties first floor maisonette of 688 square feet. Fully double-glazed throughout. Chain free.

Find your pleasing new period home on a quiet yet connected tree-lined residential Nunhead side-street with unrestricted parking.

Walk 10 minutes to Nunhead Station, and 16 to Peckham Rye Station (both are Fare Zone 2). You are also close to Nunhead’s high street and its central Green, and to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres. Walk just five minutes to each.

There is a shared main door (there are just four flats in the handsome detached building which is home to ‘The Maisonettes’). Take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door is set to the right. You open into a generous hall with cloak cupboard.

A neat single bedroom of over 7 feet by over 7, is on your right, with a west-facing window. Your reception room is next door and gets pleasing afternoon rays. It is a great size, at over 13 feet by 13 feet. Alcove storage keeps matters tidy, and ceilings are high.

Adjacent is your master bedroom, of over 14 feet by over 11, with built-in wardrobes.

The smart, windowed, recently-refurbished bathroom is next door. This has modern sanitaryware and fittings including an over-bath shower with separate spray attachment.

Your eat-in kitchen (lovely morning sun here) concludes our tour. This is double-aspect, over 12 feet by over 10 feet, and has pale fitted wall and base units. One part-glazed door connects you to the hall, and a second opens to outside steps leading down to a wee ‘city’ garden with flower bed and space for a bistro table and chairs.

Internal attic space is available for extra storage. This is accessed from a hatch on the first floor staircase.

Blissfully-close to central Nunhead, you’ll want for very little here! What is local? Central Nunhead’s got a busy community centre by aoc Architects (classes etc.) and some ace independent staples: Ayre’s bakery and Soper’s wet fish shop, for example.

Further fine establishments include BARD4100, The Old Nun’s Head, The Pyrotechnists Arms (in the hands of new management), El Vermut and Goodcup/Goodnights (all are on Nunhead Lane itself). And Peckham Bazaar on nearby Consort Road is a great table to grab in SE15, with pan-Balkan cuisine and a winning wine list.

Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex is also a short walk from your door - for the trendiest of eateries, drinkeries, exhibitions and the like.

The ‘triangle’ at the end of Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres is also bursting with places to eat, drink and hang out; Mr Bao (Asian), Banh Banh (Vietnamese), Baking with Monia and 081 (pizza) being a few.

Bellenden Road, Choumert Road and Rye Lane provide more food and drink options (we especially rate Bara, Artusi, The Begging Bowl. Ganapati and The Sourcing Table) and Peckham Plex Cinema is a long-established favourite, committed to affordable movie watching (all tickets are £5.99).

Camberwell, New Cross and Deptford are also no great distance.

Kids, or thinking of? Local primaries include Edmund Waller, Ivydale, Hollydale, Rye Oak and St Mary Magdalene (C of E). There are lots of great nursery schools within close proximity as well.
