Contemporary touches, including bespoke joinery and beautiful tiles, sit comfortably alongside refined period features such as original floorboards and shuttered sash windows.<br/><br/>The Tour<br/><br/>Located mid-terrace, this handsome home presents a traditional silhouette, with a stock-brick façade and white stucco detailing. Steps ascend to a blush-pink front door by the London Door Company, which opens directly into a spacious living room on the raised ground floor.<br/><br/>Windows at either end draw in excellent natural light, while elegantly patinated floorboards and simple white walls create a gallery-like backdrop for art and furniture. At the front of the room is an elegant cast-iron fireplace, framed by a white-marble surround. A cupboard set into the alcove provides useful storage for blankets and games. The room is flexible and is currently arranged with both sitting and working areas.<br/><br/>Downstairs, the kitchen and dining room form a charming, sociable space, with two-tone pink Shaker-style cabinetry and Taj Mahal Quartz worktops. Appliances are integrated and include a stainless-steel Smeg range. There are two points of access to the garden: double doors open from the kitchen, while the adjacent dining area - softened by linen curtains - offers a delightful setting for entertaining.<br/><br/>The house has three well-proportioned bedrooms, all finished in a similarly considered style. The principal bedroom occupies the first floor, with twin sash windows and a bank of built-in blue bespoke wardrobes. A second bedroom is also set on this floor and has a lovely view over the garden. On the lower ground floor, the third bedroom has a private feel, with useful alcove shelving.<br/><br/>A smart bathroom sits at the rear of the raised ground floor and is fitted with a separate shower, a bathtub, and patterned floor tiles.<br/><br/>Outdoor Space<br/><br/>The quiet rear garden, largely laid to lawn, is a delightful space for relaxing or entertaining. Well-planted beds run along either side, filled with bluebells, tulips and various herbs. At the far end, a gravelled seating area provides the perfect spot for a dining table and chairs or a pair of sun loungers, overlooking a handsome olive tree. <br/><br/>The Area<br/><br/>Lausanne Road is well-positioned between Queens Road Peckham, New Cross and Nunhead. There are several well-loved local haunts nearby, including the award-winning Skehan’s pub, D4100 pizzeria, the gastropub The Earl of Derby, and Peckham Cellars.<br/><br/>New Cross offers a great selection of restaurants, including The Rosemary, The Rose Inn and The Old Library, while Corner café is a much-loved local favourite. For cultural pursuits, Goldsmiths Contemporary Art Centre is close at hand. The village-like charm of Nunhead, including The Nunhead Gardener, is also nearby.<br/><br/>Several green spaces are within easy reach, including Nunhead Cemetery - one of London’s Magnificent Seven, established in the Victorian era - and Peckham Rye. Telegraph Hill Park, a 10-acre late-Victorian public park opened in 1895, is just up the road.<br/><br/>Highly regarded schools in the area include Haberdashers' Hatcham Free School, Edmund Waller Primary School and John Stainer Primary School, with Haberdashers' Hatcham College also within walking distance.<br/><br/>Transport connections are excellent: Nunhead and Queens Road Peckham stations are both around an eight-minute walk away, offering a variety of Overground and National Rail services. Numerous bus routes also serve the area.<br/><br/>Council Tax Band: E<br/><br/>
