Marmora Road, East Dulwich

£595,000

Large and light two bedroom conversion apartment of 828 square feet, on the first floor of a huge double-fronted Victorian semi-detached house. A large communal garden (accessed from the side of the house) completes the package. Parking is unrestricted on the street.

Marmora Road is a beautiful one to call home - wide, leafy and quiet, with attractive Victorian mansions on both sides, with Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres just a few minutes from your door. Honor Oak Park Station is your closest station; walk 10 to 15 minutes.

In your own front door on the first floor and look to your left for the main event: the huge high-ceilinged reception of 17 feet by over 16 feet. Plenty of square feet here to zone seating and dining areas, and a beautiful fireplace with marble surround and two large sash windows (with a sunny orientation) are welcome features. During their occupancy, the sellers have replaced the windows at the front of the property with double-glazed timber-framed (hardwood) sashes - more energy efficient while maintaining the traditional aesthetic.

The second bedroom rests off this main room - it’s over 16 feet by over 6 feet, with a pretty south-east facing sash window.

The master bedroom is next up: it’s over 13 feet by over 12 feet. High ceilings continue to impress.

At the rear of the flat, find your modern windowed fitted kitchen, and the independent kitchen (fitted with plenty of modern wall and base units). The casement window over the sink offers verdant vistas.

This is a strong spot on high ground with good local shops, pubs and eateries on Forest Hill Road (we like Deli Twenty Two, Watson’s General Telegraph and The Herne). Honor Oak and East Dulwich are also close for more options.

Public green spaces are many and varied round this way (we like Horniman Gardens for great skyline views), and you’re close to Aquarius Golf Course as well.

Local schools and nurseries are well-regarded and include Fairlawn and St Francesca Cabrini primaries.
