I would love to live there - if I had more money it would be my street of choice. Great views .. well, maybe not so much lower down but even then, just a 2 or 3 minute walk to one of the prettiest and highest park views in London; nearer than i am now to one of the best, according to the Curry Club, Indian restaurants in UK, and to one of the best pubs - CAMRA award winning Blythe Hill Tavern. Nice row of shops/food places at Brockley Rise : the Tai Wu, the Turkish takeawy, the cafe on the corner that does nice breakfasts, the flower shop, Le Querce (several friends say is best Italian in south east London), plus useful stuff like Post office, big newagent, late night shops, old fashioned china shop, barber is good (husband goes), good transport links .... are you kidding, what's it like?
