Melbourne Grove, East Dulwich

£699,950

Chain free two bedroom Victorian conversion apartment with a cute ‘city’ garden, and a bloomin’ lovely location! You are just a three minute walk from both East Dulwich Station and from Lordship Lane.

You share a neat hall (there is just one flat above yours). Swing a right here for your own front door. Turn right for your delightful bay-fronted reception room, of 15 feet by nearly 12 feet. Welcome features include stripped floors, a feature fireplace, custom-made alcove shelving and bespoke shutters, too.

Adjacent is the first of your bedrooms (12 feet by 10 feet) with double-glazed window to the side-return space (the flat is pleasingly double-glazed throughout).

Moving through the hall, next you have a good storage cupboard to your left (in under-stairs position) and ahead is your modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and back door out to the garden.

Next up is a double-aspect bedroom, of over 6 feet by nearly 12 feet. Then at the back of the property is your double-aspect bathroom, with contemporary sanitaryware.

We’ve mentioned your close proximity to ED Station. You also have lots of useful bus routes a couple of minutes away. There are lots of cafes and eateries within easy reach.

We particularly love Norbert’s (rotisserie chicken and fries plus cocktails/mocktails), Blackbird Bakery and Jones deli. A handy M&S Food Hall is next to the station, and Lordship Lane has delightful independent offerings including William Rose, Mon’s and Moxons, and strong pubs (The EDT, The Palmerston and The Bishop to name a few).

You are also really close to SE15/Peckham’s many hip and happening spots, markets, boutique gyms and such. Rye Lane and Bellenden Road are just a 10-15 minute walk for delights such as Forza, Artusi, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Lai Rai and Peckham Plex (movies for £5.99). For Peckham pubs, check out The Gowlett, The Montpelier, The White Horse and The Victoria Inn.

Camberwell is also close. Here we like Ruskin Park, The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield (has a Michelin star!), Lala Books, Theo’s, Silk Road and Gladwell’s deli.

Keeping fit? East Dulwich has a nice leisure centre with swimming pool, and Peckham Rye Park & Common hosts a friendly Parkrun each Saturday at 9am.
