PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Offering vast proportions is this magnificent two double bedroom period conversion apartment of 813 square feet (75.56 sqm), on the first floor of a huge double-fronted Victorian semi-detached house. The flat also benefits from a share of a large communal garden (accessed from the side of the house). Parking is unrestricted on the street.
Marmora Road is a beautiful road to call home - wide, leafy and quiet, with attractive Victorian mansions on both sides, Peckham Rye Park and Common's 113 acres just a few minutes from your door. Honor Oak Park Station is your closest station; walk 10 to 15 minutes.
During their occupancy, the sellers have replaced the windows with double-glazed sashes - more energy efficient - while maintaining the traditional aesthetic.
In through your own front door on the first floor and to your left for the main event: the huge high-ceilinged reception of 17 feet by 17 feet (5m x 5m). Plenty of space here to zone seating and dining areas, and a beautiful fireplace with marble surround with two large sash windows (with south easterly orientation) are welcome features.
The second bedroom rests off this main room - it's over 16 feet by over 6 feet, with a pretty south-east facing sash window and built in storage shelving.
The master bedroom is another generously proportioned space, offering over 13 feet square. High ceilings with cornicing continue to impress. A white calming white theme floor to ceiling will make this room a lovely place to rest one's head.
At the rear of the flat is a modern fitted kitchen with plenty of stylish wooden wall and base units on both sides with lots of worktop space and black metro tiled splash backs. The casement window over the sink offers a green vista over the communal gardens and a glimpse of city views in the distance.
The luxurious and very stylish family bathroom has been recently renovated to create a soothingly clam, well-appointed space. Terracotta colored vinyl flooring is warm underfoot and accompanied by pastel pink tiles, with recessed pockets, that surround the bath and shower enclosure above. The wash hand basin has a vanity unit below and there is a heated towel rail for additional creature comforts. All the fittings in the bath, shower and sink are a fashionable matte black. A frosted window offers natural light and ventilation.
The communal share of the garden is a large lawned area surrounded by mature plants and shrubs. Plenty of scope for those with green fingers.
This is a strong location on high ground with good local shops, pubs and eateries on Forest Hill Road like Deli Twenty Two, Norris and Knight, Watson's General Telegraph and The Herne. On Forest Hill Road there is also a doctor's clinic, dentist, pharmacy, barber, Co-op and other local green grocers, takeaways, a post office. Honor Oak and East Dulwich are also close for more options.
Public green spaces are many and varied, Peckham Rye is the closest, with Brenchley gardens nearby and Horniman Gardens for great skyline views. For golfing enthusiasts, the Aquarius golf course is right on your doorstep at the end of the street.
Local schools and nurseries are well-regarded and include Fairlawn Primary and Harris academies for secondary options.
