"An exceptional Grade-II listed Victorian townhouse that has been beautifully preserved"

Built in 1846, this three-bedroom Victorian house, with garden, is located on a charming parade in Queens Road Peckham. Its picturesque façade carries a Grade II listing in recognition of an array of wonderful details that come together beautifully, including wrought-iron detailing, copper patina canopies and elegant windows.

This unique row of dwellings, overlooking Brimmington park, were thankfully saved from demolition in the 1970s by local enthusiasts and have subsequently been lovingly preserved by their occupants.

Outside, a wrought-iron staircase surrounded by leafy gardens leads you to an impressively ornate front-entrance. On the raised-ground floor, a bright living area is flooded with light by three large floor-to-ceiling windows. Original features are in abundance here and this particular home is the only house on the street to maintain its ceilings original frieze. The room has been thoughtfully designed and a palette of British racing-green and chalky-cream tones complement this enchanting space.

The bathroom, to the back of the plan, has a large sash window and fits both an expansive walk-in shower and a roll-top bath.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, all of which benefit from a wealth of light. The bedroom at the back of the plan overlooks the garden. Two further bedrooms overlook Brimmington park and one has an original fireplace.

Downstairs, a delightful garden separates the raised ground-floor and basement. The garden is lovingly maintained by the current owner and has an abundant growth of beautiful plants and trees.

The basement floor feels airy and has sash windows allowing light to flow in from either side. Here, a modern kitchen can be found adjoined by a spacious area. There is also a large storage space for utilities.
