This beautiful three-bedroom Georgian Villa has been expertly restored with meticulous attention to detail. Built in the 1820s, the house originally formed part of the Licensed Victualler’s Asylum, a sanctuary for retired victuallers, known today as Caroline Gardens. It later housed the schoolmaster’s residence for the now converted Victorian primary school on neighbouring Gervase Street.

Steeped in history, it has been sensitively refurbished by its current owner, now offering two period reception rooms and three spacious double bedrooms with original features aplenty.

Upon entering, a stretch of stone tiles run the length of the sizeable entrance hallway with an open staircase and extended vista to the kitchen beyond.

The deep-blue painted chimney breast with open fire adds depth and warmth to the front reception room and wooden shutters encase the street-facing sash window which fills the room with light. The hallway flows into a second reception room with an additional open fire and beautifully patinated floorboards.

Moving into the kitchen, a wall of open shelving sits to the left and is lit by two sash windows that overlook the outside space. The room balances a freestanding galvanised steel workbench providing further storage and worktop space, as well as a generous range stove and large fridge/freezer. The well-proportioned private garden is accessed through double doors directly off the kitchen.

A skylight sits above the first-floor landing, drawing wonderful levels of natural light into the upper level, which is occupied by three well-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The bedrooms are of generous proportions and retain their original floorboards underfoot and vaulted ceilings with exposed brickwork above. A palette of earthy tones runs throughout, each room sharing the same aesthetic, creating a sense of unity.

Looking out onto the Caroline Gardens Conservation Area, Asylum Road is a quiet residential street, excellently located in the favoured Queens Road area of Peckham. The house sits amidst a cluster of neighbourhood cafes, shops and restaurants such as Naifs, Peckham Cellars, and Kudu just a stones throw south.

The nearest station is Queens Road Peckham which just moments away and provides Overground links to Shoreditch High Street Dalston Junction and Clapham Junction, the property also benefits from ample free on-street parking.
