About this property
A soothing, understated palette amplifies the natural light that pours into this smart three-bedroom Victorian house in Peckham, south-east London. Thoughtfully arranged, it extends over three storeys and, from the lower ground floor, opens to a long private garden. Contemporary touches, including bespoke joinery and beautiful tiles, sit comfortably alongside refined period features such as original floorboards and shuttered sash windows.
The Tour
Located mid-terrace, this handsome home presents a traditional silhouette, with a stock-brick faade and white stucco detailing. Steps ascend to a blush-pink front door by the London Door Company, which opens directly into a spacious living room on the raised ground floor.
Windows at either end draw in excellent natural light, while elegantly patinated floorboards and simple white walls create a gallery-like backdrop for art and furniture. At the front of the room is an elegant cast-iron fireplace, framed by a white-marble surround. A cupboard set into the alcove provides useful storage for blankets and games. The room is flexible and is currently arranged with both sitting and working areas.
Downstairs, the kitchen and dining room form a charming, sociable space, with two-tone pink Shaker-style cabinetry and Taj Mahal Quartz worktops. Appliances are integrated and include a stainless-steel Smeg range. There are two points of access to the garden: double doors open from the kitchen, while the adjacent dining area - softened by linen curtains - offers a delightful setting for entertaining.
The house has three well-proportioned bedrooms, all finished in a similarly considered style. The principal bedroom occupies the first floor, with twin sash windows and a bank of built-in blue bespoke wardrobes. A second bedroom is also set on this floor and has a lovely view over the garden. On the lower ground floor, the third bedroom has a private feel, with useful alcove shelving.
A smart bathroom sits at the rear of the raised ground floor and is fitted with a separate shower, a bathtub, and patterned floor tiles.
Outdoor Space
The quiet rear garden, largely laid to lawn, is a delightful space for relaxing or entertaining. Well-planted beds run along either side, filled with bluebells, tulips and various herbs. At the far end, a gravelled seating area provides the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs or a pair of sun loungers, overlooking a handsome olive tree.
The Area
Lausanne Road is well-positioned between Queens Road Peckham, New Cross and Nunhead. There are several well-loved local haunts nearby, including the award-winning Skehan’s pub, D4100 pizzeria, the gastropub The Earl of Derby, and Peckham Cellars.
New Cross offers a great selection of restaurants, including The Rosemary, The Rose Inn and The Old Library, while Corner caf is a much-loved local favourite. For cultural pursuits, Goldsmiths Contemporary Art Centre is close at hand. The village-like charm of Nunhead, including The Nunhead Gardener, is also nearby.
Several green spaces are within easy reach, including Nunhead Cemetery - one of London’s Magnificent Seven, established in the Victorian era - and Peckham Rye. Telegraph Hill Park, a 10-acre late-Victorian public park opened in 1895, is just up the road.
Highly regarded schools in the area include Haberdashers' Hatcham Free School, Edmund Waller Primary School and John Stainer Primary School, with Haberdashers' Hatcham College also within walking distance.
Transport connections are excellent: Nunhead and Queens Road Peckham stations are both around an eight-minute walk away, offering a variety of Overground and National Rail services. Numerous bus routes also serve the area.
