A substantial Victorian family home offering around 4,001 sq ft of flexible living across three floors, newly renovated and ready for modern family life. The ground floor's triple-aspect open-plan kitchen, dining and snug runs the full length of the house and opens onto a south-facing rear garden, while two generous reception rooms and a renovated basement add versatile space for work, play or entertaining.
The principal bedroom includes a generous en suite with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and walk-in wardrobe; there are eight bedrooms in total and multiple bathrooms including two en suites. Off-street parking is provided by a carriage driveway with space for several cars — a rare convenience in this part of West Dulwich. Local transport links and a strong selection of nearby schools make this an attractive option for commuters with children.
Practical points: the property retains many period features — bay windows, cast-iron fireplaces, cornices and wood floors — and benefits from recent renovation, but some original fabric remains. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further energy-efficiency upgrades are possible. The renovated basement has reasonable head height but should be inspected for suitability to your needs.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family house with excellent potential for comfortable, long-term living close to good schools and transport. Buyers seeking a fully energy-efficient home should budget for insulating works and possible window upgrades, but for those prioritising space, location and period charm, the property represents a strong proposition.
