Located on the fifth floor of Drake Court, this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment pairs mid-century character with contemporary finishes. Large Crittall-style glazing and original Iroko floorboards flood the living space with light and frame long views over the Dulwich Estate’s mature communal grounds. The reception is generous enough for separate living and dining areas, while a smart fitted kitchen and a bright walk-in shower room complete the accommodation.
The building sits within the much-loved Dulwich Estate, noted for 1950s/’60s architecture and extensive landscaped grounds that provide a calm, leafy setting despite good local connections. Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace stations are within easy reach, offering direct services to central London. The block benefits from a newly refurbished lift and well-kept communal gardens, creating a rare combination of tranquillity and convenience.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer: the flat is sold leasehold with approximately 123 years remaining, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Annual service charge is around £1,600 and council tax sits at an affordable band. The apartment’s single shower room and two double bedrooms make it a comfortable starter home or a well-located buy-to-let proposition.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The building is system-built and assumed to have no cavity insulation, so there may be opportunity or cost to improve thermal performance. There is one bathroom only, and while lift access is available, the property occupies the fifth floor. Crime and area deprivation are reported as average for this part of London. These points are balanced by long lease length and recent full renovation.
