Henslowe Road, East Dulwich

£799,950

Beautiful just-renovated three bedroom apartment with a Freehold-share. Your new scrummy abode - of some 908 square feet - takes the upper floors of a handsome bay-fronted Victorian semi (there is just one flat below yours). Chain free.

This is a dream of a tree-lined residential Dulwich street, with little through-traffic (think driving lesson territory), approximately a 10 minute stroll from Lordship Lane and North Cross Road.

You are even closer to Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres - walk here in five minutes.

East Dulwich Station is a pleasant mile walk or you can take a quick bus trip to Peckham Rye Station. Dulwich Park and Horniman Gardens are also easily reached by foot.

There is a shared smart hall and your own front door is directly ahead.

Take the stairs and from the half-landing you have bedroom number one up ahead - of 11 feet by over 9 feet. Adjacent is your main bathroom, with concealed plumbing and deep green Balinese ceramic tiles and a modern three piece white suite, with over-bath shower and under-basin storage.

Up a few stairs and from a little lobby (with delightful internal window - we utterly love this incoming trend as it looks so good and is fab for delivering light through often dark hall spaces) you access the main event: your huge main room which is open-plan by design not compromise, and hosts a large and lovely fitted kitchen (the size of which you’d expect to find in a house) and a roomy reception space - with loads of square feet in which to set up sofas and table and chairs. Our favourite feature in this room is the part-vaulted ceiling.

Head up to the second floor and you’ll find bedrooms two and three: the principal bedroom at the top of the house is over 15 feet by over 10 feet, with Velux, built-in closet and swish (Velux-windowed) shower room. Accessible eaves storage up here solves any storage concerns. Your third bedroom is a neat square one, of over 9 feet by nearly 9 feet.

Local shops and cafes are local on Forest Hill Road and Barry Road. North Cross Road is a 10 minute walk for awesome Saturday market and open-all-week independent boutique shopping, plus independent cafes and restaurants.

Lordship Lane is also a 10 minute walk for more shopping (we rate SMBS Foods, Brothers, The Cheese Block and William Rose particularly highly), plus some trendy chains, East Dulwich Picturehouse, and an M&S Food Hall.

Local pubs include The Herne (great garden!), Watson’s General Telegraph, The Actress and The Great Exhibition.

For more shopping, social and leisure options, Peckham, Dulwich Village, Honor Oak, Nunhead and Forest Hill are all a short distance.

Working off the good life? East Dulwich Leisure Centre is close, and you have lots of yoga studios/classes locally, or ‘sign up’ for British Military Fitness sessions on Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park and Dulwich Park also have park runs at 9am each Saturday.
