Howden Street, Peckham Rye, SE15

Fabulous five bedroom bay-fronted and extended Victorian terrace of 1424 square feet, on a quiet residential side-street near Bellenden Road, Peckham Rye Station, The Belham and Bellenden primary schools, and Peckham Rye Park and Common.

A neat walled and tiled front garden is a pleasing welcome. In your front door and your formal reception rooms sit to your right. The front room is over 13 feet by 11 feet, with stripped and treated boards to the floor, a wood-burner and alcove bookshelving. The second reception - a natural dining room - is 11 feet by 10 feet. Double doors create a great flow and add a sense of occasion.

At the end of the hall you have under-stairs storage to your left, then a little lobby with a (windowed) downstairs w.c. and a utility space.

It is straight ahead for your delightful double-aspect kitchen. Access this via a cool 'pocket' door. This runs over 14 feet to double-glazed double doors out to your first paved area (a second sits beyond the lawn).

Upstairs and from the half-landing you have the property's main bathroom to your right. This is a windowed one, with an independent walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. You also have large profile tiles and under-basin drawers. Straight ahead is double bedroom number one - of over 12 feet by over 8 feet, with a double-aspect and a Juliet balcony from a timber-framed double glazed door.

From the main landing, another bedroom rests to your left (this is 10 feet by nearly 11 feet), then you have your largest bedroom across the front of the house. This is over 15 feet by over 11 feet, with a bank of built-in wardrobes with sliding doors.

Up the stairs and another bedroom greets you - this one is over 13 feet by over 9 feet (with built-in wardrobes) then it's up to the top of the house for a skylit modern shower room and a fifth double bedroom - of over 16 feet by over 9 feet, with accessible eaves storage.

Local schools are really good round this way and include The Belham and Bellenden primaries. The Villa Nursery and Pre-Preparatory School (2-7) is also well-regarded, on nearby Lyndhurst Grove.

Local parks include Peckham Rye Park and Common (walk eight minutes) and Warwick Gardens (10).

Bellenden Road is close for delightful restaurants such as Artusi, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati. Local pubs include The Victoria Inn, The Montpelier, The Gowlett and The White Horse. And there's a fab fairly new wine bar/shop in town: The Sourcing Table.

Independent shops on Bellenden Road include Review book store, The General Store, Gather, Casa, and Flock & Herd butchery. A new fishmonger has also opened.

Peckham's main high street - Rye Lane - is close too for Peckham Plex (cinema), and trendy hangouts such as Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park complex, as well as handy high street shops and fruit and veg stalls.

For more options, East Dulwich's Lordship Lane has a great selection of independent fancy grocery offerings, pubs, cafes and restaurants - including a new empanada place (Chacarero Empanada House). North Cross Road Market is a lovely spot on Saturdays, too.
