18, Newent Close, Peckham, SE15 6EF

On a quiet tucked-away street in Peckham/Camberwell borderland, winning-at-life close to Burgess Park, find this total gem of a Georgian terraced house.

You have three bedrooms (two doubles, one single) and both front and rear gardens. Chain free. The centres of Camberwell and Peckham are each a 12-15 minute walk.

Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations are each an 18-20 minute walk. Or hop on a bus and head central from Wells Way or Camberwell Church Street/Peckham Road. Permit-parking is on-street.

The house has plenty of charm and character (those windows = swoon!) but is practical, too, having been modernised by the current owner. You have a strong layout, with both bath and shower rooms.

From your pillared external porch, you open your front door (we love the gorgeous fanlight above it) into a wide hall with smart tiling to the floor.

Coving, ceiling rose, dado rail and column radiator all impress. As throughout, walls are a fresh white.

A couple of hall cupboards are useful homes for coats and such, and you have a neat and modern downstairs shower room with a cute casement window.

You have (electric) underfloor heating to all the tiled floors in the house. Right off the hall and you land in the oversized reception room, of over 21 feet by over 12 feet.

Welcome features in here include a real gas fire, delightful wooden floors (original fully restored ones; upstairs has these under the carpets as well), coving and rose detailing, additional modern recessed lighting, and two vertical column radiators.

Your fitted kitchen (glossy white units, stainless steel handles, marble counters) is next up, with a tiled floor, exposed brickwork on the rear wall, and a large rooflight.

Double doors deliver you to your part-walled and low-maintenance garden, which extends ~30 feet and has a fab mature palm.

Heading up the stairs (noting the pretty dark wood bannister) you’ll click the windowed independent lavatory which serves upstairs, then from the first floor landing you have two carpeted bedrooms to the front of the house: One double and one single.

A third double bedroom (also carpeted) provides garden views, and an internal bathroom with modern sanitaryware sits next door. An over-bath shower and separate spray attachment further feature.

As mentioned, Burgess Park is really close and is complete with a lake, sports courts, a cute cafe and it hosts a great Parkrun on Saturdays.

You are also within easy reach of Lucas Gardens, Ruskin, Brunswick and Kennington Parks. Camberwell is your closest town centre.

Here we love South London Gallery, toad bakery, Gladwell’s deli, The Kerfield (with a Michelin star no less!), The Camberwell Arms, Theo’s, Hermits Cave, Silk Road, and the Victorian pool/gym on Artichoke Place.

You are also close to Peckham’s hot spots: Bellenden Road, Blenheim Grove and Rye Lane, for their gastronomic and social hubs including rooftop bars, plus handy high street shopping and independent shopping.

Further foodie, social and leisure options are on offer in Dulwich, Herne Hill and Brixton.
