A striking late-Victorian semi-detached house offering over 2,200 sq ft of period living across three main floors plus attic. The home retains original features — high ceilings, ornate cornicing, bay windows and decorative fireplaces — and benefits from off-street parking, a long private garden and a roof terrace overlooking mature greenery. The layout includes three reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, suited to a growing family who value space and character.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities are strong: East Dulwich shops and cafés on Lordship Lane, Dulwich Park, the Horniman Museum, and a mix of well-regarded independent and state schools are within easy reach. Transport links are convenient with East Dulwich and Forest Hill stations and multiple bus routes to central London.
Important considerations: the property's solid brick construction appears to lack modern cavity insulation and the interior will suit sympathetic refurbishment to meet contemporary standards. Mature garden planting and external features (pond, pergola, outbuilding) will require ongoing maintenance. There is some indication the internal layout has been adapted over time, which may reduce the flow for single-family use and could require reconfiguration for open-plan living. Council tax is expensive. Overall, the house offers strong long-term potential for a family buyer prepared to invest in updating while preserving period character.
