Set on the top floor of the former East Dulwich Royal Mail sorting office, this newly renovated two-bedroom penthouse offers a ready-to-move-in home in prime SE22. The open-plan reception and kitchen are bright and contemporary, with near floor-to-ceiling glazing and a full-width private balcony that extends the living space. Offered chain-free and finished to a high standard, the apartment suits buyers wanting a turnkey property close to Lordship Lane and local parks.
Practical features include two double bedrooms (one en-suite), a large family bathroom, double glazing fitted since 2002, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and fast broadband connectivity suitable for remote working. The apartment sits in solid-brick construction from the early 20th century and benefits from a long lease (998 years) and an affordable service charge of £320.
Notable considerations: the EPC rating is D and external walls are original solid brick with no added insulation (assumed), which may affect heating costs and future upgrade work. Mobile coverage varies by provider, with some networks limited indoors. The property is mid-terrace in an inner-city setting, so prospective buyers should factor in communal maintenance and periodic building works under the share-of-freehold arrangement.
For first-time buyers or professionals seeking a stylish home with strong transport links (East Dulwich, Denmark Hill and London Bridge connections), this penthouse combines immediate comfort with scope for small-energy-efficiency improvements. Nearby Good and Outstanding schools and plentiful local amenities make it practical as a longer-term home or an owner-occupied investment.
