A Beautiful Bay-Fronted Period Property That Gives You More – More Space, More Light And More Time At Home. This wider-than-usual Victorian semi has lovely period features, a sun-filled kitchen / diner and is less than a 20 minute commute to Victoria on the train.

This elegant Victorian semi offers everything you’d want from a classic period home – but with more. 

More width than the typical terrace, meaning bigger, brighter rooms. 

More beautiful period features, from high ceilings to multiple original fireplaces. 

And more time to enjoy it all, with Nunhead Station just a short walk away – getting you to Victoria in under 20 minutes.

Set on a popular, tree-lined road, the attractive bay-fronted property welcomes you with a neat walled front garden. 

When you step through the front door, with its beautiful stained glass window, you’ll immediately notice the feeling of space in the hall. Instead of the normal narrow Victorian layout, this property has an unique lateral layout.

The generous bay-fronted reception room is over 17 feet wide, with light pouring through large double glazed sash windows. Coving, picture rails, a ceiling rose and a beautiful fireplace with an open fire all add to the period character. 

To the rear, the impressive kitchen-diner benefits from a lovely south-facing bay window - making this a naturally sunny and inviting space. There’s space at the side to extend and to the back too (subject to planning permission, of course).

There’s plenty of room for a large dining table by the bay, ideal for everything from everyday family meals to hosting friends. 

A timeless Shaker-style kitchen with wooden worktops and a Belfast sink provides ample storage and workspace, while bi-fold doors open onto the garden for an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

Outside, the west-facing back garden is a real highlight, stretching over 20m.

It’s well-established with mature planting, a lawn for children or pets to enjoy, and a pergola-covered seating area at the rear, designed to make the most of the afternoon and evening sun.

Upstairs, the main bedroom closely mirrors the generous proportions of the reception below, complete with a large bay window, marble fireplace, and custom-made shutters. 

Two further double bedrooms both have lovely fireplaces filled with natural light, while a smartly finished bathroom and separate W.C. complete the floor.

For those looking to grow into a home, there’s clear potential to extend into the loft (again STPP) – whether that’s now or in the future.

Nunhead has become one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods and it’s easy to see why.

It has a vibrant high street, with independent shops and cafés, a real community feel and excellent transport links. 

Nunhead Station is just a short walk away, with direct trains from Zone 2 to Victoria in 15 minutes and Blackfriars in 16. 

Brockley Station, offering Overground services, gives you a Plan B and is also within easy reach.

There are two bus stops within a few minutes walk taking you as far as Aldgate and London Bridge. There are also a number of good cycle routes into the city too.

You’re moments from green spaces too, with Peckham Rye Park & Common less than a 10 minute walk away.

If you’ve worked up an appetite, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to places to undo all your good work!

Local favourites include Kudu Grill, BARD4100, and The Old Nun’s Head for food and drinks, while independent stores like FC Soper, Ayres Bakery and The Nunhead Gardener add to the village-like charm.

Schools are another strong draw, with the highly-rated Ivydale Primary just a few doors away, plus Edmund Waller and Haberdashers’ close by. The sought after Dulwich independent schools are only a short drive or cycle away.

This really is a rare chance to buy a wider-than-usual period home in a prime Nunhead location, blending space, character and commuting convenience.
