This light-filled two-bedroom house occupies an excellent position a few minutes’ walk from Queen’s Road Peckham and Brimmington Park. It’s one of only five houses within the coveted Grenier Apartments; a former school redevelopment arranged around a gated car park and communal garden. Double-height ceilings and soaring sash windows are a defining feature, allowing swathes of natural light to pour deep into the generous spaces within, from the private west-facing garden and the elegant tree-lined street on which it lies.

The Tour

The building’s façade is characterised by red brick, towering sash windows and original stonemasonry signage at each end of the terrace. The house is set back from the street behind an original wrought-iron fence, and a cobbled path leads through the front garden to the primary entrance.

Upon entry, the original herringbone parquet flooring flows from a central hallway into the adjacent kitchen. A sweeping sash window dominates the front elevation, while sage green cabinetry conceals extensive storage. The walls have been painted white to accentuate the space created by its double-height proportions throughout.

Original large arched windows sit above two separate doors that lead into a wonderfully bright living room. At the front of the space, a mezzanine is supported by rolled steel joist beams, providing a useful home office space (which can easily fit a double bed) while creating a sense of loft living. Extensive glazing dominates the rear elevation, inviting an excellent quality of natural light into the room. Floating timber shelving sits neatly in the corner while restored floorboards flow underfoot. From here, double doors open seamlessly onto the courtyard garden.

In the central hallway, a WC sits opposite a curved pine staircase that ascends to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and a sizeable family bathroom. Double ceiling heights and original floorboards continue in the bedrooms, both featuring striking exposed oak beams overhead. The main bedroom has been painted soft pink and has large built in wardrobes while the other has an en suite bathroom. A useful storage cupboard sits at the top of the stairwell.

There is also a private parking space demised to the house.

Outdoor Space

French doors open onto a courtyard garden enclosed by cedar fencing. A cobbled footpath runs adjacent to a paved and decked section, both ideal for alfresco dining. Raised garden beds and climbing ivy frame the space, while a mature specimen tree sits in the back corner. A gate at the rear provides access to the secure communal parking area where residents often come together for drinks and social events in a central area.
