A compact, chain-free two-bedroom flat on the first floor of a purpose-built block in East Dulwich. The apartment offers around 566–575 sqft of well-proportioned living space with a separate living room and two bedrooms — suitable for a first-time buyer or a couple wanting a central, low-maintenance base.
Stand-out features include generous communal gardens that are not overlooked, easy access to Forest Hill and East Dulwich stations, and a neighbourhood of independent shops, cafés and green space at Dulwich Park. The building dates from the mid-20th century and benefits from double glazing, central heating via a gas boiler and strong mobile and broadband connectivity.
Buyers should note material limitations: the flat is modest in size, has a single bathroom, and an EPC rating of D. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and could need energy improvements over time. The property is leasehold with approximately 104 years remaining — adequate now but a factor for future mortgage and resale considerations.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located entry into SE22 for buyers prioritising location, outdoor communal space and straightforward living. It suits first-time purchasers or those seeking a rental investment close to transport links and local amenities, provided they accept the smaller footprint and potential energy upgrade costs.
