Open-plan kitchen and bright living room with period features

This substantial three-storey detached house in Dulwich Village offers rare family-sized accommodation across about 2,406 sq ft. Six generous double bedrooms and a bright, spacious living room create flexible spaces for children, home working and guests. The open-plan kitchen with contemporary fittings opens to a large south-facing garden in excess of 100 feet — a major asset for outdoor living and play.
Built in the 1930s with traditional solid-brick construction and bay windows, the property retains period character and above-average ceiling heights. Practical features include off-street parking and a converted attic that increases usable space. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern family life, while nearby green spaces, shops, restaurants and strong local schools add everyday convenience.
There are important considerations to note. The house has just two bathrooms for six bedrooms, which will require planning or investment if more facilities are desired. The solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, glazing checks, heating improvements) may be needed to reduce running costs. The wider area shows signs of deprivation, and crime levels are average — factors to weigh alongside the many local amenities.
Overall this freehold property suits growing families seeking generous internal space and a large south-facing garden in a well-connected village setting. It offers immediate liveability with clear potential for targeted refurbishment to enhance comfort and energy performance.
