This newly renovated one-bedroom apartment in Drake Court offers rare ground-floor garden access within the Dulwich Estate’s celebrated mid-century setting. At approximately 667 sq ft, the south-east corner position and restored Crittall glazing flood the living space with light and give a strong sense of scale uncommon for one-bed flats. The private terrace steps down to a secluded garden with mature trees and seasonal planting — an exceptional outdoor amenity for an urban property.
The interior combines period detail and modern comforts: original polished Iroko flooring, restored metal-framed windows with secondary glazing, integrated kitchen appliances and underfloor heating in the kitchen. The bedroom has new carpeting and bespoke built-in wardrobes; the bathroom is tiled with a shower-over-bath. The flat is offered with about 141 years remaining on the lease and a modest council tax band, making ongoing costs predictable.
Practical considerations are clear and stated. The block is system-built with assumed no wall insulation, so additional insulation work may be required for improved thermal performance. Entrance is via stepped access to a raised ground-floor door, which limits step-free access. Annual service charge is about £1,600. The location balances woodland tranquillity with transport links: Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace stations are walkable, providing direct routes into central London.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a spacious, characterful home with a private garden and strong transport links. It also presents straightforward potential to personalise thermal efficiency and decorative finishes while benefiting from the long lease and low council tax band.
