Elmworth Grove, West Dulwich

£499,950

Big and bright third (top) floor, three bedroom ex-LA apartment of almost 800 square feet. The property is move-in ready, having been very recently pro-decorated (fresh white walls are the pleasing order of the day). Chain free.

Your new flat has a brilliant east/west orientation (favoured by artists) and is fully double-glazed throughout.

The attractive, brick-built, low-rise estate is set in well-maintained grounds with notably generous communal lawns and mature trees. This really is a delightful location to call home, set back from hustle and bustle yet near a fab parade of shops on Rosendale Road, and just a short walk from the centres of both West Norwood and Dulwich Village. Getting further afield is easy with West Dulwich Station just an eight minute walk away, or you can walk to West Norwood Station in 15.

Take stairs to your own floor and front door. Herringbone flooring impresses from entry. First on your right you have a double plus a large single bedroom. These are over 11 feet by over 9 feet, and nearly 10 feet by nearly 7 feet. Each bedroom has a built-in closet.

At the top of the hall you have your largest/principal bedroom. Next door to this is your lovely big reception room, of over 16 feet by over 12 feet, with beautiful block parquet to the floor. You have plenty of space to zone seating and dining areas. Off the corner of the room, a door delivers you to your private covered balcony, with pretty views over trees.

Back in the hall/lobby area, you have a neat bathroom (contemporary sanitaryware and right-on-trend monochrome fittings including a heated towel radiator are a treat here), with an independent w.c. next door. Both rooms have windows.

Finally you have your independent kitchen with modern fitted wall and base units to two walls, integrated appliances, and wooden worktops.

There is a great sense of space and greenery in this London postcode, and gorgeous Dulwich Village and Picture Gallery are a circa 20 minute walk. Your local shops include Scotch Meats butchery, a gift shop and a deli. You are also close to popular gastro-pub (and wedding venue!) The Rosendale, with a nice beer garden for the warmer months. Nearby, Croxted Road has a small shopping street with bookshop, Italian deli and such, too.

Local green spaces include Dulwich Park, Brockwell Park, and West Norwood’s Victorian Cemetery (one of the ‘Magnificent Seven’: named so for their elaborate tombs and memorials).
