2 Bed Terraced House, Kimberley Avenue, SE15

The Doodlebug* is up for rent!

Doodlebug:
This house is absolutely stunning in every way.

The whole house has been renovated to the highest possible quality. The only thing that remains untouched is the front door! It’s re-wired, re-plumbed and perfectly (Email Removed After Let) really won’t find another house like this. It’s a home that you can enjoy in all seasons, whether it’s sunning yourself with a bottle of rosé in the garden, or warming up by the log burner with a lovely bottle of red and a hearty meal, you’ll always find it hard to leave this place.  

No expense has been spared in the kitchen; quartz counter-tops, American fridge freezer (with ice and filtered water piped in), dual oven range with five gas hob, top quality washer/dryer and dishwasher. The kitchen is separated from the living room by a beautiful little multi-fuel stove that keeps the whole house cosy on those cold winters nights. You will never, ever find yourself too cold or too hot in this house - it is so well built that heat stays in in the winter and out in the summer!  If you’re really feeling the chill you can turn on the 1930’s cast iron radiators that pump out plenty of warmth.  All these mod cons, however, don’t detract from the character of the house as there are some lovely antique pieces, like the haberdashery cabinet in the kitchen, an antique french coat rail in the hallway, industrial cabinets in the bathroom etc.... (these can stay in the house).

Upstairs there is a good sized bathroom with an extra large walk-in rain shower, double ended bath, heated towel rail and everything else that you might expect.

The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and currently has a king-sized bed.  The second bedroom is currently used as a study and looks onto the garden at the back of the house. One floor up (accessed by a ladder), is a massive loft which offers ample storage space.

One of the biggest highlights of the Doodlebug is the south-facing garden; it gets the sun all year round from the early morning to the late evening. It’s a little micro-climate where the flowers and wildlife thrive. You can either just use it to relax (we can provide a gardening service), or if you want to get your hands dirty we’ll leave a shed full of tools so you can keep the flowers in check and grow some veg in the raised bed.  

Your surroundings and getting about
If and when you do venture out of the house, you’ll find the lovely Nunhead High Street (visit lovenunhead) just a stone’s throw away, where we’ve got an incredible array of shops and characters.  Just 4 minutes behind the house you can head to the 52-acre Nunhead Cemetery, one of the Magnificent Seven (with magnificent views), to walk your dog, take a really relaxing stroll, join one of the free monthly tours or do a bit of volunteering work!

For those rare occasions when you want to leave, Nunhead train Station is a 3 minute stroll up the road, the Overland is 12 minutes walk (Queens Road Peckham or Brockley) or 2 mins on the train (Nunhead to Peckham Rye).  

Come and view
We're available to show the house as of 22/6/15.   Email to arrange a viewing or with any questions.

We are looking for a couple to love this house and we are family and pet friendly!
The property is unfurnished with the option of some furnishings that are currently in the house.

* This house is named “The Doodlebug” as in WWII a German V1 rocket destroyed the house on our plot and the ones either side. The three houses were then rebuilt in the 50’s, and luckily for us, they built them beautifully!!
