Ladlands, Overhill Road, East Dulwich

£500,000

Offers in excess of £500,000.

Bright and beautifully-renovated three double bedroom ex-LA maisonette of 874 square feet, within (MBE) Kate Macintosh’s Dawson’s Heights.

Off-street parking in a dedicated car park, and north and south facing balconies - on different levels (the property is coolly laid out over four levels in total) - complete the outstanding offering.

The iconic two-block development of 298 flats was built between 1964 and 1972. It has a modernist style, reminiscent of a ziggurat. English Heritage described the estate as having "a striking and original massing that possesses evocative associations with ancient cities and Italian hill towns”.

You will enjoy a pleasing elevated position and incredible skyline views, and there is a small nature reserve to the north of the buildings.

You are approximately a 20 minute walk to either Forest Hill or Honor Oak Park stations (both Fare Zone 3 and on the London Overground line, for easy access to Shoreditch, Clapham and Canada Water - for Canary Wharf). Or grab a P13 to Peckham Rye.

The building is served by lift and stairs. You open your own front door ('deck access' at second floor level) into a generous lobby, with built-in storage for coats and shoes and such.

Take a few stairs down and you land in a splendid, cork-floored large and light reception - of over 16 feet by nearly 12 feet. There is plenty of space to zone lounge and dining areas.

Your split-level first floor level delivers your smart fitted kitchen (with access to balcony number one), three double bedrooms (these are 12 feet by over 9 feet, over 8 feet by nearly 12 feet, and over 12 feet by over 8 feet), a neat w.c., and a smart bathroom with traditional-style fittings and metro tiling.

Two of your bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the principal bedroom opens onto balcony number two - facing sunny south. If you don't need all the bedrooms, this could easily be an additional reception room.

This is a top spot in all senses! Local green spaces include Dulwich Park, Horniman Gardens, One Tree Hill and Peckham Rye Park and Common.

East Dulwich's Lordship Lane has great independent shopping opportunities, plus an impressive selection of pubs and restaurants (we particularly highly rate William Rose Butchers, EDT, The Palmerston and Franklin's). North Cross Road puts on a great market each Saturday.

There is a mini-market on Overhill Road itself - handy for milk and a paper etc. And there are large Sainsbury’s stores in Forest Hill and on Dog Kennel Hill for big grocery shops. The M&S Food Hall is also popular on Lordship Lane.
