This rare, double-fronted, six-bedroom house is positioned on Bushey Hill Road, on the border of Camberwell and Peckham. Built in 1901, the architectural style bridges the later Victorian and early Edwardian periods and many of these original features have been preserved, chiming with distinctively contemporary interiors care of Robinson Van Noort. An extension into the loft was added in recent years and is currently used as a home studio.

Traditional proportions have been opened up on the ground floor, creating a flowing set of spaces adjoining an open-plan kitchen, with bespoke walnut units, and a dining room. The reception room and dining room both benefit from original bay windows at the front of the house, drawing natural light deep into the plan. Oak floorboards and slate tiles run throughout, into an artist’s studio and a utility room at the rear of the house. Here, access to a beautifully secluded paved garden, with mature trees and shrubs, is gained via a glazed back door.

The first floor is occupied by four large bedrooms, a WC tucked away on the landing, and a family bathroom in grenn slate with twin concrete sinks. All of the bedrooms have original sash windows and built-in wardrobes. The second storey is arguably the most impressive space, taken up by two large bedrooms positioned either side of the staircase. The current owners have this floor configured as a home studio, making ingenious use of the glazed partitions between the two spaces to create a working environment flooded in natural light, at one remove from the bustle of family life below. Storage space on this storey has been created in the eaves of the roof and there are additional, built-in wardrobes and shelving units along one side. Three skylights serve to further brighten this environment, which feels at once peaceful and inspiring, perched high above the tree-line of Camberwell in the distance.

Bushey Hill Road is a quiet residential street which gently inclines above the neighbourhoods of Peckham and Camberwell. The South London Gallery, recently extended and re-designed by 6a Architects, sits at the foot, beside the campus of UAL: Camberwell.

Independent restaurants, bars and cafes are all nearby and include perennial local favourites, Silk Road, Forza Win, Levans, Pedler and Kudu. Larger establishments such as the Carl Turner designed Peckham Levels, and the Bussey Building attract crowds from across the city .The green spaces of Telegraph Hill & Peckham Rye Park are a short walk away.
