THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

This gorgeous home is on the ground floor, part of a handsome building that sits in the middle of a classic Victorian terrace. Stepping in, you may instantly fall for the two double bedrooms. Light pours into the main one at the front from the west-facing sash window––we adore the flush of red in the fireplace––while the second, just down the corridor, hits the spot with access to a small patio space. Keeping things organised is a breeze, with canny in-built cupboards and shelving.

But it's the open-plan living space where this flat really comes into its own. The shaker-style kitchen wraps around the room, letting you know you're in the heart of the home. Skylights keep the space from ever feeling gloomy, as do the bi-fold doors across the back wall. Fling them open to blur the lines between the outside and inside, while the high shrubs in the wonderfully low-maintenance garden provide welcome seclusion.

Keston Road is one of those pinch-me locations where nearly all your wishes and needs can be met within minutes of leaving your front door. Feeling like a mooch to blow away the cobwebs? Head to nearby Lordship Lane, where North Cross Road market will satisfy your street food urge, and you can browse local designers and makers. In the opposite direction, Peckham High Street has all the foodie hot spots and roof terraces you need for a good night out. And when you don't want to stray too far, the Gowlett is a top-notch local on your doorstep.

THE OWNERS SAY

We couldn't love our location more. Perfectly located between the stomping grounds of East Dulwich and Peckham, each boasting countless cafes, restaurants and quirky, independent shops.

On Lordship Lane, you've got a gorgeous Georgian restaurant, Kartuli, and wine bar, La Cave de Bruno, as well as yoga and cake at Oru Space and East Dulwich Picturehouse, a blissful convenience. On Bellenden Road you'll find the best butcher in the world, Flock and Herd, as well as amazing coffee from The General Store and Italian food at Artusi.

Peckham Rye is a haven and is great for morning walks. Cafe G on the outskirts is lovely, and in the summer they open Peckham Bowls where you can bowl, enjoy drinks and pizza.

1 Artusi

With its simple, ever-changing menu of perfectly prepared, “Italian-inspired” food, Artusi has been a critics’ darling since it opened in 2014. Now a neighbourhood fixture, it even offers a cook-at-home delivery service so you can feast from the comfort of your own dining room (or sofa).

2 Mr Bao

A disused-shop-turned-bao-heaven, Taiwanese favourite Mr Bao is among a cluster of great dining options at the north end of Peckham Rye Park. Take a seat at the window and watch the rest of Peckham pass by as you choose between silky-soft buns filled with teriyaki shiitake mushrooms or pork with pickles and roasted peanut.

3 Forza Wine

A secret rooftop bar with sweeping views, a drinks list brimming over with Italian favourites and a nicely curated menu of delectable small dishes: what’s not to amor? Warm up with an espresso in the cooler months or sit outside with a Campari in the summertime.

4 Yama Momo

Contemporary Japanese restaurant, which combines traditional Izakaya dishes with modern European-style tapas cuisine. There’s also an excellent Japanese-influenced cocktail menu.

5 Rye Books

Locally-loved independent bookshop that also hosts various literary events. Pop in for a fresh coffee while you browse.
