Oakhurst Grove, East Dulwich

£550,000

Sleek two bedroom first floor period conversion flat of 579 square feet, with a new lease of 125 years. Your newly-renovated home will be ready for you in February.

The location is a pretty and peaceful one-way residential street in prime East Dulwich/Peckham Rye borderland - close to Goose Green, Peckham Rye Park and Common, Lordship Lane, and to both East Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations (walk 12 and 14 minutes to these respectively).

Pleasingly, the well-established boutique developer is giving the buyer welcome freedom to customise the final design - you can choose the finishing touches you want - including kitchen (fronts and handles), worktops and splash back, flooring, wall colours, wardrobes and storage, window shutters, flooring, tiling, bike storage and more. Please ask us for more details.

There is a shared main door and you share this and your hall with just two other properties (one above and one below yours). In your own front door at first floor level, and to your right is your bright east-facing large main room - which incorporates kitchen and reception spaces.

Next door is a west-facing bedroom of 2.1 metres by 3.7 metres. Next, head down the corridor to find the property’s smart and windowed bathroom, complete with a contemporary white suite and fittings, and an over-bath shower.

Finally at the back of the flat is bedroom two: a generous principal one, with a west-facing window. It’s a great layout with the bedrooms being set apart.
