You’ll love the epic kitchen extension, west-facing garden and the prime Peckham location - near Bellenden village and just 7 minutes from the station.Standing proudly on highly sought-after Talfourd Road, this stunning five-bedroom Victorian home delivers the perfect blend of period charm and contemporary comfort.With over 2,500 sq ft of beautifully finished space spread across five floors, this is the kind of home that doesn’t come along every day.From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this one’s a little bit special.The handsome façade - complete with double-height bay windows and beautifully maintained stucco detailing - sets the tone perfectly.A grand set of Portland stone steps leads you up to the front door, where original tiles, intricate cornicing and a sweeping hardwood staircase remind you exactly why Victorian homes have that unmistakable magic.Inside, the space just keeps on giving.Two elegant reception rooms have been opened up to offer a perfect mix of relaxed family living and grown-up entertaining, with period fireplaces, bespoke storage and Farrow & Ball hues adding warmth and personality.Work from home? There’s a dedicated study with garden views and built-in shelving to keep everything neat and stylish.But the real heart of this home? That jaw-dropping kitchen / diner, making full use of the lower ground floor rear extension.Designed to maximise both light and space, it stretches a full nine metres, with a trio of bi-fold doors opening straight onto the west-facing garden.Whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the seamless indoor-outdoor flow is a game-changer.Inside, every detail has been carefully considered - from the sleek Quartz worktops to the Grohe taps, Sonos ceiling speakers and that showpiece Vernon Panton pendant light installation that brings it all together.Head upstairs to the first floor and you’ll find the most incredible master suite, stretching the full width of the house.There’s a dedicated dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath, twin basins and double shower - not to mention underfloor heating. It’s your own private retreat, with sash windows framing leafy views over one of Peckham’s most desirable streets.There’s no shortage of space for family and guests either.Four more generous bedrooms are spread across the upper floors, along with stylish bathrooms and even a hidden wall of storage in the loft room.The top floor bedroom is something else - floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style glazing gives you incredible views over London’s skyline, from The Shard to the London Eye.It’s a front-row seat for every sunset (and the odd firework display too).Out back, the west-facing garden has been designed with both family fun and entertaining in mind.A raised lawn, mature birch trees, built-in lighting and a Portland stone patio create a space that works beautifully, day or night.There’s even a fully wired garden shed and bespoke front bike storage by local legends, Bike Box London.As for location, you couldn’t ask for more.Bellenden Village, with its artisan cafés, independent shops and brilliant restaurants (The Begging Bowl and Artusi are firm favourites), is just a 6 minute walk away.Foodies will love having so much to enjoy on your doorstep - Toad Bakery (a Good Food Guide “Local Gem”) and Cafe Mondo (“Best Sandwich Shop in Britain” according to The Evening Standard’s David Ellis) are even closer on Peckham Road.Peckham Rye Station is only a 7 minute stroll (or if you’re running late, a 3 minute dash) for quick links to London Bridge, Victoria, Blackfriars and Shoreditch.If you’d rather get to work under your own steam, you can cycle through Burgess Park to the City in around 20 minutes.And if you have a car, there’s residents on street parking and a Zappi car charging point with Type 2 connector just by the front gate, as well as lamp post electric car chargers scattered along the street.For green space, Warwick Gardens and Peckham Rye Park are both within easy reach.Talfourd Road itself has a strong sense of community, complete with monthly ‘Play Streets’ where neighbours get together and the kids take over the road.With fantastic nurseries, a buzzing cultural scene and some of South London’s best food and drink right on your doorstep, you’re buying into a fabulous new lifestyle waiting to be enjoyed.Don’t miss your chance to see this stunning Victorian masterpiece for yourself - get in touch today to arrange a private viewing.
