The optimum position in the building, thanks to its south-westerly elevation, this stunning two-bedroom penthouse apartment forms part of the Grade II*-listed Pioneer Centre, which was designed in 1935 as a purpose-built health centre as part of the famous ?Peckham Experiment?, to a design by eminent modernist architect, Sir Owen Williams.

The apartment is located on the second floor. The front door opens into a hallway, with access to two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan living / dining / kitchen area. The property features beautiful floor-to-ceiling original windows that make up one entire wall in each of the bedrooms, and in the dual-aspect living / dining / kitchen area, two of the four walls. These features are among the most striking aspects of this penthouse, since they provide an airy and well-lit ambience all year-round.

A wooden stairwell from the hallway provides access via a sliding roof-light to a private roof garden featuring AstroTurf. This superb outdoor area sits within the same footprint as the apartment directly below, providing an amazing, good-sized space and entertaining zone for the warmer months of the year. From the roof, there are views of the Shard and central London.

Residents of the building benefit from a 20-metre indoor heated swimming pool and private gym. There is also a private tennis court at the front of the building, as well as resident and visitor parking, and a bike-shed, within the gated grounds.

Landline and super fast broadband, installed and functioning - request cost details.

The Pioneer Centre is excellently located between the thriving areas of Queens Road Peckham and Nunhead. Recent developments along Queens Road continue to contribute to the area?s buzz, notably the Blackbird Bakery under the railway arches, Mama Dough pizza restaurant, and a number of new independent bars. Nunhead has a village-like feel, with a greengrocer, a butcher, a fishmonger, a deli, a caf?, and a new community centre by AOC architects. Popular local bars and restaurants include Babette?s (Parisian-run brasserie), Pedler (on Peckham Rye), The Old Nun?s Head, The Telegraph, and The Beer Shop.

The nearby Bellenden Road has also become a centre for some excellent independent restaurants, bars, and shops, including Artusi, The Begging Bowl, The Victoria, The Montpelier, and Flock & Herd butchers. The Bussey Building, off Rye Lane, hosts an active and varied programme of yoga/dance classes, workshops and arts festivals, along with a residency from the Royal Court theatre. Within its grounds are several innovative bars and places to eat, and there?s an outdoor cinema on the roof of the building during the Summer. The green spaces of Telegraph Hill and Peckham Rye Park are a short walk away.

Queens Road Peckham is the nearest station, just a two-minute walk from the front gates, running London Overground services to Shoreditch High Street and Dalston Junction in one direction and Clapham Junction in the other. Connections to the Jubilee Line can be reached at Canada Water (seven minutes) and the Northern Line at Clapham High Street (11 minutes). Southern trains run services to London Bridge with a journey time of around seven minutes. Nunhead station is seven minutes? walk away, with connections to Victoria (in 15 minutes) and Kings Cross St Pancras (in 25 minutes). Queens Road is also well connected by bus routes.
