Beautiful Three Bedroom Victorian Home with Abundant Original Charm - CHAIN FREE.

This perfectly placed three bedroom period home enjoys a wealth of original charm. Boasting abundant period feature fireplaces, cornicing and stained glass throughout, the property also benefits from a noteworthy proportion. The accommodation, over two lovely floors, comprises a double reception, huge kitchen/diner, three proper double bedrooms, a fancy family bathroom (with additional shower) and a handy ground floor guest wc. This locale is incredibly well connected. From here you're within an eight minute stroll of Nunhead station for swift services to central London and beyond. Nunhead is an easy walk for any number of eateries, pubs and amenities. Even closer is the inimitably atmospheric Nunhead Cemetery - the perfect place for a thoughtful stroll! Peckham and East Dulwich are both easily reached for further social endeavours.

Harlescott Road is mature, peaceful and packed full of charming period homes. A neat front garden invites you off the street to find an original door with oblong stained glass panes and a large rectangular light above. Inside you find modern wooden flooring, dado rails, cornicing and corbels. The double reception sits to the right and is separated centrally by original wooden doors. Twin original fireplaces with matching mantels and hearths grace either end of the space and there is generous shelving and storage tucked neatly into the alcoves. There's more handsome cornicing and two Greek key-inspired ceiling roses overhead. Pretty French doors with stained glass offer access to the rear garden. Further along the hall you find a handy wc politely sitting under the stairs and preceding the kitchen/diner. This stretches an impressive 9 metres in length and dips into a wide side bay. There's unbeatable storage, a six ring gas range, pull-out larger and NEFF microwave. The dishwasher and fridge/freezer are each integrated. There's tonnes of family dining space to the rear next to bi-fold glass doors. These open to the decked patio and garden which is walled and split level with plenty of space for al-fresco dining and veg cultivating. Heading upward you enjoy an original staircase with hardwood banister, white painted treads and risers and a lovely pinstripe runner. The raised rear return hosts the first double bedroom. It's a fine sized room with garden views. Next to this sits the family bathroom which benefits from an extra deep bath, double walk-in shower, granite-topped wash hand basin and loo. The first floor hosts a majestic master bedroom - a super wide front-facing double with original timber floors, simple coving and feature fireplace. Bedroom three has a peaceful rear aspect and another eye-catching original feature fireplace. Walk to Nunhead station (Zone 2) in less than eight minutes for trains to Blackfriars (St Pancras during the week) and Victoria. In the other direction the P12 will take you to Peckham Rye or Honor Oak Park station for trains to London Bridge and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) too. Bus No. 343 will also take you to London Bridge and New Cross Gate and the 484 will go to Lewisham. Brockley and Queen's Road Peckham stations on the TFL Overground line are each easily reached on foot. The recently refurbished and family friendly pubs of The Waverley and community pub The Ivy House are tantalisingly close, and you'll find local shops, eateries and pubs on Nunhead Lane (including a super wet fish shop). A little further afield is Peckham Rye park, and the shops, restaurants, and pubs of East Dulwich. Whilst Peckham is awash with eateries, funky bars and artistic endeavours. We love Frank's Cafe roof top bar and restaurant - great for some tunes and views. Keeping fit? Peckham Pulse is a short bus ride and has a good gym, two swimming pools and loads of evening classes. The highly considered Ivydale Primary School is but a short hop making your life easy peasy in the mornings!Tenure: FreeholdCouncil Tax Band: D
