This wonderful three-bedroom terraced house lies on Limes Walk, a quiet residential street in Nunhead. Thoughtfully renovated, the interior spaces have been beautifully reimagined by the current owners, who have introduced tactile materials and a minimal colour palette that maximises the light drawn in from its huge ribbon windows. Approached along a no-through road, Limes Walk sits between the beautiful green spaces of Peckham Rye Park and Nunhead Cemetery and has a bright terrace.

The Tour 

The house is accessed via a communal pathway opposite Nunhead Cemetery. Most of the raised ground floor is given over to the open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, where a wall has been partially removed to open up the kitchen and the dining room, creating framed views within the interior space. This cuts through a pale pink microcement island that divides the kitchen and the dining spaces; a recess allows for stools to be placed underneath. Open shelves, cabinets and the extractor fan are all finished with the same slatted birch ply panelling, and a Rangemaster oven is centred between stainless steel cabinetry topped with granite; a Carrara marble splashback extends to the ceiling.

Adjacent, a pitched skylight illuminates the living area and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open out to the terrace and allow light to pour in. The floor is laid with polished microcement.

The main bedroom is on the second floor and is a tranquil retreat at the top of the house. The room is currently arranged with a seating area, which would work well as a study space. A large picture window overlooks the treetops, with views of the London skyline poking through, giving the room a serene and secluded feel. A bathroom on this floor is designed to function like a Scandinavian wet room with a large walk-in shower; a skylight brightens the room.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, with ribbon windows which frame verdant views of the opposite tree canopies. Original pine floorboards have been retained and refreshed with a coat of white paint.

The striking main bathroom, located on the first floor, is finished in a monochrome palette and is illuminated softly by a skylight. It has a walk-in shower, a freestanding bathtub and a terrazzo sink.

Outdoor Space 

A set of sliding doors run the length of the living room and open up to the west-facing terrace, making it the perfect spot for entertaining alfresco and enjoying the afternoon sun. There is ample room for outdoor furniture and planters.

The Area

Limes Walk is positioned between the brilliant green spaces of Peckham Rye Park & Common and Telegraph Hill, convenient for dog walkers and children. While Nunhead Cemetery is a beautiful woodland oasis, within walking distance from the house, with amazing views across the city skyline.
