Pepys Road, New Cross, SE14 5SA

Best and final offers invited by 11am, Monday 16th February.

Oversized and oh so lovely one bedroom Victorian conversion apartment of 610 square feet, on the first floor of a grand and bay-fronted detached townhouse in Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, with a Freehold-share, a new boiler, and its own generous and part-walled garden section (accessed via a gate to the side of the house).

You are winning-at-life close to transport: walk six minutes to New Cross Gate Station and nine minutes to Queens Road Peckham Station. Both are Fare Zone 2 with regular and Windrush line services.

Bus travel is a cinch, too, from the main road just a few minutes away. A handful of useful routes are the 436 (Battersea), the 21 (London Bridge) and the 453 (Elephant/Trafalgar Square/Marylebone).

Parking is currently unrestricted on-street. Take a few steps to the main and original front door, then from the shared hall take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door.

To your immediate right - spanning the width of the building - you have your huge reception room, of over 19 feet by over 13 feet.

Twin sash windows and simple coving and picture rail detailing feature, plus a pale carpet and a pale grey to the walls. There is loads of space to zone sitting and dining areas.

A lovely room for entertaining, or for simply feeling smug! Adjacent is your casement-windowed independent kitchen. Traditional-style units are topped with wooden worktops.

Metro-style tiling is another nice decision.

Your double bedroom (in a nude designer hue) rests at the back of the property, with bespoke fitted cabinetry for your clothes, and boutique-hotel-style panelling detailing to boot.

Your delightful bathroom sits just over the hall, with traditional-style sanitaryware and fittings, a stainless steel heated towel radiator, an over-bath shower, and a frosted double-glazed window.

This leafy, hillside residential area (once the home of Victorian poet Robert Browning) was developed in the late C19th, replacing market gardens (which were owned by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers who controlled the development) with high-standard housing, on wide, tree-lined streets.

Telegraph Hill's secret has been quietly seeping out since Overground services (at nearby New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham stations) further opened-up the transport links beyond the already good links and ease of access to central London.

Enjoy the connectivity of Fare Zone 2, with leafy views, great parks (Telegraph Hill's Upper and Lower Parks, which have been open to the public since 1895, are just up the road), community spirit and a weekly Saturday market as well.

The Hill Station community cafe and pizza place (just next to the church) is very popular with locals and visitors alike.

A large Sainsbury's store sits behind NXG station for groceries, and there are cool independent shops, cafes and restaurants on both New Cross Road and Queens Road, alongside gastro-pubs.

We particularly like Corner (cafe), The Old Library Bar (check out the Happy Hour cocktails), Peckham Cellars, Beer Rebellion, and Blackbird Bakery.

The Rose Inn, The Earl of Derby and Skehan's are all top local public houses. Tenure: Share of Freehold Council tax band: C Borough: Lewisham
