Upland Road, East Dulwich

£765,000

Immaculate and beautifully-extended two double bedroom Victorian conversion flat, with a Freehold-share and a private garden with a sunny southeasterly orientation.

A real box-ticker, this one! Further treats include Farrow & Ball paints throughout, off-street parking on your own front drive, useful cellar space, a new boiler, new electricity board, all new appliances (which are included in the sale) and underfloor heating in the new extension.

This is a delightful tree-lined residential Dulwich street, with little through-traffic, just 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 hop on a bus to Peckham Rye Station. Dulwich Park and Horniman Gardens are also easily reached by foot.

Open into a smart shared hall (there is just one flat above yours). Your own front door is to your left. From the hall, on your immediate left you have the principal bedroom of over 12 feet by over 10 feet, with a big bay window, bespoke shutters, column radiators and a luxury-hotel-feel en suite shower room.

Next along the hall is the second bedroom. This is currently enjoyed as a nursery but previously hosted a king-size bed and has cool custom-made panelling. A sash window sits over a little doored courtyard space, and gives you an early look at that incredible back room.

Next from the hall you can access the cellar to your right, and the property’s main bathroom is on your left. This has a neat white contemporary suite, a double-glazed window, an over-bath shower, under-basin storage, and large profile tiling.

The open-plan kitchen/reception/dining room next impresses, of over 23 feet by over 15 feet, with exposed steel, lots of glazing, gorgeous herringbone flooring and underfloor heating. The fitted kitchen is a timeless Shaker-style, with a fab central island/bar. Your worktops are quartz. A separate laundry cupboard/utility is yet another welcome feature.

At the foot of the room onto the garden you have natural seating and dining areas. We love the built-in ottoman seating.

The garden - accessed via wall-spanning folding doors - has paved and lawned areas and gets great sun throughout the day. Lucky old you!

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.
