A substantial Victorian semi-detached house offering over 2,500 sq ft across lower ground, ground, first and second floors. The property retains attractive period features — high ceilings, sash-style windows, original fireplaces and stripped timber floors — and benefits from a large south‑east facing rear garden and a roof terrace. Situated in central East Dulwich (SE22) within a strong school catchment, the house suits a family seeking generous living space and outdoor areas in a well-connected neighbourhood.
The current layout provides multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining space with garden access, cellar/utility on the lower ground, and five double bedrooms with three bathrooms. The footprint and room proportions are a key selling point, with potential to modernise or reconfigure to create a contemporary family layout or rental income rooms for investors.
Buyers should note this is period construction (circa 1900–1929) with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation; sections may require updating for modern thermal performance. There are visible signs that decorative masonry and parts of the property will need maintenance, and lower-ground areas can be prone to damp if not properly managed. Mechanical systems are mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed but install dates are unknown.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to buy a large, characterful family home in East Dulwich with immediate living space and clear scope for sympathetic refurbishment to add value. The position, size and outdoor space make it particularly attractive to growing families and buyers wanting long-term accommodation in a popular school catchment.
