Set on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom garden flat offers a rare combination of period character and private outdoor space in East Dulwich. The front room receives generous natural light and could serve as either a bedroom or lounge, while the rear reception opens directly onto a low-maintenance private garden with a further raised section that could be fenced for extra seclusion. The separate kitchen is fitted with green shaker-style units and the bathroom retains classic touches, including a roll-top bath.
Practical running costs are reasonable: council tax Band C and a small annual ground rent of £50. The 90-year lease and ad-hoc service charge should be noted by buyers planning longer-term ownership or mortgage refinancing. The flat's solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and EPC rating of D indicate scope for energy-efficiency improvements — an opportunity to reduce bills and add value but also an immediate consideration for buyers sensitive to heating costs.
Location is a genuine selling point: moments from Lordship Lane’s shops, cafés and eateries, with Dulwich Leisure Centre and Goose Green close by. Transport and digital connectivity are strong (excellent mobile signal, fast broadband), making the flat suited to those working locally or commuting. Be aware the immediate area records higher crime levels — prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on safety measures and local conditions before committing.
Ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful one-bed with outdoor space and clear renovation upside. The property is ready to occupy yet benefits from targeted upgrades (insulation, glazing, possible cosmetic refresh) to maximise comfort and future resale value.
