THE OWNERS SAY

We have really cherished the light in the house. The spacious open-plan area downstairs is flooded with sunlight in the mornings through the big sliding glass doors. It's a joy - especially in the spring and summer - to wake up with a coffee while bathed in warm sunshine. Then, after about 6, the evening sun streams in from the other side through the Venetian blinds in the kitchen and bedroom.

A quick shout-out to our local coffee shop, Good As Gold. It's been a refuge, an occasional work spot, and an indulgent treat. As well as serving snacks and brunch, it turns into a fantastic restaurant in the evenings. We will miss it and our lovely home.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

As soon as you enter this three-bedroom home, you’re struck by its feeling of space. With the downstairs being opened up, you’re able to take in the entire depth of the living area. Warm wooden floors that run throughout the downstairs add to the sense of one cohesive space, and your eye is drawn to the wall of glass that lets the light pour in. The kitchen’s minimalist style perfectly matches the uncluttered design of the rest of the home. Overlooking a pedestrianised walkway means it’s free from road noise.

Naked wood floors continue upstairs throughout the bedrooms –– two double and one single –– which are flexible spaces. The use of colour has been kept neutral, with creative touches to keep things interesting. Take the bathroom tiles in cyan blue, which will cheer the soul in the morning. Outside, the front garden easily accommodates two-wheeled vehicles, and the back feels secluded, a perfect spot for people who want a hassle-free outdoor space.

Coston Walk is within touching distance of some of South East London’s most-loved neighbourhoods. It is adjacent to Brockley, with its independent shops, buzzing coffee spots, and the village feel of Nunhead, where the high street will satisfy every shopping need. But, in South East style, you’re never far from green spaces. Frendsbury Community Garden is on your doorstep when you feel like getting green-fingered. Alternatively, fill your lungs at lovely Hilly Fields, stroll in Peckham Rye, or take in the atmosphere at Nunhead Cemetery.

1 Good as Gold

A must for all you people watchers, grab a cup of the latest speciality roast and a towering croiffin and take a seat outside to watch the world cruise by. Light, airy and welcoming, it’s just as good for brunching with friends.

2 Browns of Brockley

Consistently voted purveyors of south London’s (if not all of London’s) finest coffee, Browns’ skilled baristas serve up perfectly brewed cups of Square Mile filter and espresso drinks. Enjoy from inside or outside its lovely café opposite Brockley station or from its coffee van, which makes its rounds at farmers’ markets all over the capital (and is even available for private hire).

3 Malaysian Deli

Loved by locals, and for good reason. The staff are friendly, the food reasonably priced and most importantly, it wins hands down on the flavour front.

4 Joyce

There’s nothing nicer than a post-walk tipple, and after a amble up Hilly Fields (the clue’s in the name) a slurp at Joyce’s will be well-deserved. A decent selection of drinks in a friendly neighbourhood bar, what could be nicer?

5 Jones of Brockley

Your one-stop shop for everything and anything yummy. Pick up store cupboard staples, something special for dinner or the best of the best in picky bits. And don’t worry if you overload (it’s easily done) - they deliver!
