Oakhurst Grove , East Dulwich

£825,000

Offers in excess of £825,000.

Huge and handsome two bedroom flat with own front door, off-street parking space, long lease, and a big and sunny east-facing garden.

There is also obvious scope to extend to the rear of the property should you want to improve on the already-impressive 900 square feet footprint.

Welcome features are in their many with this one; we particularly like the high ceilings, multi-fuel stove, original kitchen dresser, stripped floors and side access.

The location? Is a pretty residential street in 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 11 and 13 minutes to these respectively).

A neat paved drive has two parking spaces: one for the ground floor flat, and one for the upstairs flat.

To the right hand side of the house you’ll find the flat’s own front door, with handy built-in external store that sits to the right hand side of the front door.

The flat has a really welcoming layout - you open directly into the huge central reception room - it stretches over 18 feet by over 14. Built-in storage (original to the building) takes one alcove. Walls and ceilings are white and bright, as throughout the flat.

Immediately to your left on entry is the neat shower room with charming original window, and contemporary white sanitaryware and heated towel rail.

Adjacent is the enormous master bedroom of over 20 feet by over 13. A deep bay window is kitted out with custom-made shutters (which are staying), and the room also boasts a smart feature fireplace, and coving which highlights those high ceilings.

Set off the reception room to the rear you have a smart kitchen with a large original dresser teamed with timeless Shaker-style base units, solid wood floor, and a double-glazed door onto the paved area of the garden.

The second double bedroom (it’s refreshingly large, again - at over 17 feet by over 12) is also set to the rear of the property, and this also has a double-glazed back door onto the garden, plus a bank of built-in wardrobes, and en suite w.c.

The garden’s largely laid to lawn, with deep and established borders. There’s a very generous paved area too. There is a real feeling of peace and space out here - oodles of sky and greenery for a Zone 2 spot!

What’s about? Most locally on East Dulwich Road, you have a handy Tesco Express store and a classy parade including a Hop Burns & Black, ice cream parlour, bike shop, chippy, and KOKUM (contemporary modern Indian restaurant/bar). East Dulwich leisure centre is on this stretch, as is a new Majestic outlet (because life is about balance!).

You are in a fine spot here to enjoy all that Peckham and East Dulwich have to offer in terms of shops restaurants, bars, cafes and markets. Some of our favourites include SMBS, Franklin’s, Mons, William Rose butchery, Chener Books plus North Cross Road’s Saturday market - in SE22, and Artusi, Ganapati, Review book store, The White Horse and The Gowlett pub - in SE15.

The triangle at the point of Peckham Rye Common is abuzz with eateries and drinkeries - such as Banh Banh, Mr Bao, Voodoo Ray’s and Funkidory.

And beyond this area, Rye Lane is laden with cool socialising spots, with the likes of Peckham Levels, and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park - which are bursting with trendy eateries, drinkeries, rooftop bars, yoga classes and the like!

Nunhead is an easy walk for independent staples such as FC Soper (wet fish shop) and Ayres (bakery). Kudu Grill, El Vermut and BARD4100 are great here too.

For more options, you are not far from Camberwell, Herne Hill and Dulwich Village.
