Choumert Square, Peckham Rye, London, SE15

Webster Little Architects – in collaboration with the property's current owners – have brought this dilapidated two bedroom Victorian cottage sensitively back to life, welcoming it into 2026. Chain free.

Your new home has been completely stripped back and remodelled, making the most of every available cubic centimetre while retaining the spirit of times past (we love the painted exposed brickwork, exposed beams, and opened-up fireplaces!), and adding built-in storage in high-quality materials.

Your house is brand-new-ready to occupy, with such treats as beautifully-chosen light fittings, engineered oak floors, and high-end integrated appliances.

A private courtyard (delightful afternoon sun here) fronts your end of terrace house. For further garden action, there is a communal one down the central communal path.

This is a seriously special spot: Choumert Square is a picture-postcard pocket of Peckham, just a few minutes from both Peckham Rye Station and Bellenden Road. It is a tucked-away pedestrian-only Victorian laneway which has featured multiple times on Gardeners’ World and in various other popular publications.

A stable-style front door set in a front bay is a fitting cottage welcome. You open directly into your double-aspect, open-plan reception room/dining room/kitchen, which extends 25 feet. Your fitted kitchen has quartz counters. As throughout, windows are double-glazed. There is great storage in the form of bespoke cupboards and shelves.

Up to the first floor and to the front of the house you have your principal bedroom, of over 10 feet by over 8 feet (with a retained original cast iron stove). To the rear, is your second bedroom, of over 10 feet by over 6 feet. Both bedrooms have cool space-saving ‘pocket’ doors.

Set between your two bedrooms you have a beautiful contemporary shower room with concealed plumbing. Inset shelving is a fab feature.

Choumert Square (named after the C19th landowner George Choumert) enjoys a close community and rich history of residents including a CBE, OBE and two MBE’S! Further to the Square’s national media attention, residents celebrate the square and its blooms annually, inviting the public in.

Walk just a few minutes, via Choumert Grove and Blenheim Grove, to Peckham Rye Station (Fare Zone 2) for regular and Overground services.

Blenheim Grove, Rye Lane, Choumert and Bellenden Roads are all close for cafes, bars and restaurants plus independent and grocery shopping. A few recommendations are Artusi, Il Giardino, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Miss Tapas, The Montpelier, The Sourcing Table, Review book store and Flock & Herd butchery.

Also local to you; Rye Lane is home to the trendy Bussey Building & Copeland Park spaces, plus Peckham Levels, Peckham Plex Cinema, and handy high street shops, banks and markets. In the warm months, you can head rooftop for cocktails at Frank’s or atop The Bussey Building.

Warwick Gardens is your nearest green space, and Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres is a short stroll.

Peckham is already considered one of London’s most desirable places to call home. There is even more in store for the postcode, including the regeneration of and around Peckham Rye Station.

Other options? Central Camberwell is local for The Camberwell Arms, Little Cellars, Theo’s pizzeria and Friday live jazz nights at The Crypt (underneath St Giles Church). East Dulwich’s Lordship Lane and North Cross Road (for the top Saturday market) are close also.
