Grenier Apartments, Peckham SE15

Nestled within the sought-after Grenier Apartments building, this two-bedroom, 963 sq/ft converted school apartment effortlessly blends Victorian architectural heritage with modern design.

Originally built as the Leo Street School in 1899 by architect T.J. Bailey, the building was thoughtfully converted in the late 1990s into a distinctive collection of contemporary residences. Many of these homes, including this exceptional apartment, retain the building’s original charm and striking design details, features that continue to make them highly desirable today.

Stepping into the apartment, you are immediately struck by the sense of volume and light. The open-plan living area is framed by impressive 4.22-metre ceilings, which flood the space with natural light and offer a dramatic backdrop that echoes the grandeur of its Victorian origins. The recently renovated kitchen, cleverly positioned beneath the mezzanine, blends effortlessly with the living space, enhancing the apartment’s fluid layout.

The ground floor houses a generous master bedroom with partial double-height ceilings, adding both scale and character. Adjacent is a well-appointed family bathroom, completing the main living level. Upstairs, the mezzanine provides a versatile second bedroom and a dedicated study area, ideal for those working from home or in need of a flexible guest space.

Set within a gated development, the property includes access to peaceful communal gardens, a rare feature in this vibrant urban setting and comes with an allocated parking space, a valuable asset in this part of London.

Positioned just 0.4 miles from Queens Road Rail and Overground stations, the apartment offers excellent transport connections, with London Bridge accessible in around 10 minutes and Canary Wharf in approximately 16 minutes. The surrounding area is undergoing significant regeneration and is considered one of London’s most exciting investment hotspots. The proposed Bakerloo Line Extension, a cornerstone of Southwark Council’s 20-Year Development Plan, is expected to further enhance connectivity and growth potential. Queens Road itself is just a short walk away which has blossomed into a vibrant culinary destination, offering a diverse array of trendy restaurants such as Kudu, Peckham Cellars, Artusi and The Begging Bowl to name a few.
