Cool ex-LA purpose-built two double bedroom second floor flat of 673 square feet, with a cute private west-facing balcony accessed from the living/dining room.
The block is an attractive low-rise one, with a large communal garden set to the rear. You also have use of a pram shed externally plus a large lockable cupboard by your front door (great storage!), and bicycle storage lockers are available to rent from Southwark. Parking is unrestricted on the street.
Find your new pad on a wide and tree-lined residential Nunhead street, which places you just eight minutes by foot from Queens Road Peckham Station, and nine from Nunhead Station (both are Zone 2). You are also close to Nunhead Green Conservation Area, which takes in Nunhead's well-stocked independent high street and village-style green.
There is a main shared door with secure entry, plus a neat ground floor hall area (it is from here you access the shared garden). Take stairs up to the first floor and your own front door.
Once in the flat, there is a built-in coat/cleaning closet to your left, and your independent kitchen is on your right. This has Shaker-style cupboards (solid wood doors), oak counters, and open shelving. As throughout the apartment, windows are double-glazed.
Across the hall and next to another built-in storage cupboard, access your bright reception room, of over 15 feet by over 12 feet (plenty of space for seating and eating areas). There is a pale carpet to the floor and lights are recessed.
Back in the hall and next on your right is the property's bathroom. In great order, it has a smart white suite and over-bath shower. Fittings are smart and modern.
Next door is your first bedroom, of 12 feet by over 11 feet, with an east-facing window. Finally your principal bedroom completes the tour. It is over 12 feet by 11 feet, with a bank of built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors to the near wall.
Nunhead station has London Victoria trains and Thameslink trains as well (Farringdon, Blackfriars). It also puts on an impressive skyline view from the platform. Or you can stroll north to Queens Road Peckham station (also Fare Zone 2) for Windrush line trains alongside regular rail services. Canary Wharf is easy via Canada Water, also destinations such as Clapham Junction or Shoreditch High Street.
Nunhead has a relaxed vibe with a friendly community, with a central green, playground and community centre (by AOC architects), and excellent established staples which include Ayre's bakery and Soper's wet-fish shop.
Other treats include El Vermut and Mother Superior bottle shops, Goodcup/Goodnights and BARD4100 (pizzas and bar). And there's a handy Co-Op with cash machine. The Pyrotechnists Arms and The Old Nun's Head are strong locals (and we should also mention The Earl of Derby), and Peckham Bazaar is a favourite of ours (pan-Balkan menu) on nearby Consort Road.
