BRICKWORKS SAYS

Sitting aloft the buzzing epicentre of Peckham, this Victorian pub conversion was once used to exhibit Young British Artists and has inspired song lyrics – it's a building with quite the backstory.

Located on the top floor, high ceilings and tastefully styled spaces hit all the right notes. The flat has been revived through colour: Farrow & Ball Hague Blue creates a cosy living space with custom-made seating complete with canny storage. The deep blue is echoed in the kitchen, with added style thanks to brass detailing and marble-effect splashbacks.

The two good-sized bedrooms make use of every inch of space, while the second bedroom's versatile storage adds an industrial edge. The flat has not one but two bathrooms (bye-bye morning queues), both brought to life with statement colours and classic square tiles. Stripped hardwood floors and sash windows are a nod to the flat's older roots.

Peckham is a mecca for rooftop bars, art venues, pop-ups and review-worthy eateries. It's the best of all worlds, with a conservation area that includes a vintage pie and mash shop and plenty of late-night places to shake your tail feather. Plus, it has Peckham Rye and Burgess Park on your doorstep to blow away those cobwebs when you've been living it up.

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.

THE OWNERS SAY

What a spot! Sitting on the top floor of a Victorian brick-built Peckham landmark, The Bun House, once an iconic Peckham pub and prior to this a historic bakery.

More recently this iconic building has hosted art shows featuring The Bun House Bandits and the YBA artists Bob and Roberta Smith, Gavin Turk, Sarah Baker & Ben Eine. This notable building has also been immortalised in the Mystery Jets' headline song, Behind The Bun House. It’s a piece of history!

The owners need to find and are actively looking.

Anything else:
The property has the added bonus of a private rooftop (accessed via a drop-down ladder) and two storage spaces in the loft. Although unofficial and not demised to the flat, both are only accessible from the flat and happily enjoyed by the current owners.
