The lower ground floor is accessed under the main staircase and offers a long storage room with fitted units and desk area ? perfect for DIY. Beyond this is a double length games room which has plenty of fitted storage, a pool table and yoga area this space would also be ideal as a home cinema or sound studio!

Toward the end of the ground floor entrance hall, you find the splendid kitchen/diner full of storage, uniquely and thoughtfully designed with its extra tall rear-facing picture window. High level mirrors line the window and stretch into the room reflecting light and ingeniously making use of all aspects as the sun changes its position. The kitchen cabinets are cherry wood, and appliances include a Wolf stainless steel range, American fridge and integrated dishwasher. A wonderful side-facing set of French windows open back to the wall alongside the window seat. It?s a morning sun trap and the perfect al-fresco dining spot for breakfast. There?s even a niftily concealed cat flap with feline dining area. Venturing to the garden reveals a sunny garden with a terraced shady spot to protect you from direct sun, a healthy lawn, a discreet storage shed and a pleasant collection of mature shrubs and foliage.

Heading up from the hall is the original staircase with curling hardwood handrail and ornate balustrades. The first return supplies a guest WC opposite a handy laundry cupboard. Next comes an insanely bright family bathroom with rectagular skylight running the full length of a gently vaulted ceiling. There's ample fitted storage, bath and a separate walk-in shower. Beyond this is a large, utility /laundry room with storage, sink and large picture window affording you a splendid panorama of the gardens whilst you iron. The first floor supplies a grand double bedroom over 6 metres in width. Currently arranged as a lounge/music room, it has original cornicing and two large front aspect sash windows. Bedroom two, another large double, boasts fitted bespoke designed wardrobes and views of the garden and trees. Upward to the second floor you find yet another super double bedroom covering the full width of the house and with masses of storage with a full wall of fitted sliding wardrobes and bespoke fitted wardrobes either side of the bed. Bedroom four is a pleasant rear-facing double with integrated desk, shelving and lofty garden views ? a lovely craft/study ?pretend to work-from-home? space. A handsome shower room with beautiful seamless marble floor and counter and original stained-glass door completes this floor.

The second landing hosts an impressive, architect designed suspended staircase with wide, timber treads and open risers. It ascends to a light and airy upper landing under a large skylight. This leads you to the master suite ? a climb well worth the effort! Boasting a full-width panoramic window that frames a spectacular cityscape stretching all the way to Canary Wharf, the room is cleverly divided into slumber and storage spaces by a floating wall. There?s a well-stocked bespoke dressing area and adjoining, tiled shower room with bespoke marble floor shower tray and counter.

The South London Gallery, at the bottom of the road, is a great place to take visitors, with its marvellous café, complete with garden and golden mural. For coffee, croissants, books, antiques, flowers and dry cleaning services, go no further than Bellenden Village (a five-minute walk). We love Petitou, The Victoria Inn, Ganapati and The Begging Bowl. Rye Lane is tantalisingly close for any amount of local culture and includes the Bussey Building with the fabulous Frank?s rooftop bar and a cinema. The highly regarded Villa Nursery is just two minutes? walk ? now that's an easy morning drop off! The area has easy access to Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations (zone 2) for services to London Bridge, Victoria and Blackfriars. The London Overground (the ginger line) whizzes you to Clapham, Shoreditch and Canada Water for the Jubilee Line. A whole variety of buses run into town along Peckham Road, just five minutes away. The wide open green spaces of Peckham Rye Park are also within easy reach. Even closer is the very lovely Warwick Gardens. It's a fine spot for a read of the papers.
