This Victorian home offers a spacious three-bedroom layout in a desirable area near Peckham Rye, making it an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled close to Bellenden Village and Bellenden Road, the property is surrounded by a variety of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants that characterize the vibrant local culture.
As you enter, you’re greeted by a dual-aspect double reception room that has been opened up to create a seamless flow between spaces. A bay window at the front provides natural light while a log burner adds a cozy touch for colder months. The white-painted wooden floors enhance the bright ambiance throughout the ground floor. French doors open from the rear reception room directly into the garden, making it ideal for entertaining or family activities.
The kitchen runs along one side of the home and features warm wooden cabinetry alongside integrated appliances and dark stone tiling. A second bay window creates a charming dining nook that feels inviting and well-lit. At the far end of the kitchen, modern wooden doors lead to an unexpectedly spacious garden that presents numerous possibilities for outdoor living or potential development.
The garden features a paved patio perfect for outdoor dining, leading onto a lush lawn with flowerbeds adding color throughout the seasons. Notably, at the end of the garden is an architect-designed studio that serves as an ideal space for a home office or creative studio. There’s also potential for off-street parking at this end of the garden, subject to planning approval - an attractive option given urban parking constraints.
Upstairs features hardwood flooring in all three double bedrooms, each providing comfortable accommodations. The principal bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes while one of the rear bedrooms has been enlarged to truly maximize space and comfort with pleasant views over the garden through original sash windows. The family bathroom is functional yet contemporary, featuring built-in storage and both bath and shower options illuminated by overhead natural light from a Velux window.
While this home is ready for immediate enjoyment with its blend of period charm and modern convenience, it also presents significant renovation potential. Future buyers may consider extending into the side or loft area (subject to planning permission) to increase living space further.
Situated on Wingfield Street, this residence strikes an excellent balance between tranquility and accessibility. It's mere moments away from Peckham Rye's lively offerings as well as East Dulwich's charming amenities on Bellenden Road—home to diverse eateries ranging from classic pubs like The Victoria Inn to delightful cafés such as Petitou on Choumert Road.
Local schools are well-regarded, including The Belham Primary
