Overhill Road, East Dulwich

£1,750,000

Fantastic four double bed bay-fronted house on high ground, with incredible skyline vistas, a generous front driveway, and a large garden (of circa 70 feet) with a fab studio/office.

The handsome Victorian home has been treated to an impressive architectural extension on the ground floor - making the most of the plot and proximity to the garden.

Local schools are popular and include Goodrich and Heber primaries. And the Dulwich independent schools are but a short drive away.

Open your front door into a welcoming hall. You’ll note high ceilings from the off. To your right, you have a formal double-reception, running 27 feet. Stripped floors, custom-made shutters to the lower sash panes, and a working fireplace all impress.

You can access the massive rear room from the second reception space here (with a clever platform to admire the skyline views then steps down) or via the hall. Before the pocket door is access to the handy cellar, your downstairs w.c. and a dedicated laundry/utility area.

The big back room - with a really pleasing amount of glazing and a cool concrete floor - extends over 20 feet by nearly 17 feet, incorporating kitchen, dining and seating spaces. The room suits entertaining and family life equally well.

Up to the first floor, from the half-landing, find your first double bedroom to the rear of the house (of over 12 feet by over 10 feet, with a pale carpet), and the main smart bathroom next door. This has contemporary white sanitary ware, an over bath shower, large profile tiling, and a sash window.

From the main landing, you’ve got a large bay-fronted master bedroom taking the width of the house (of over 16 feet by over 14 feet, with built-in alcove wardrobes) and another double - this one’s over 12 feet by over 11 feet, and also has a built-in closet to one alcove.

Up the stairs again and you’ll find your fourth and final double (over 16 feet by over 10 feet, and double-aspect), with a neat en suite shower room.

The garden’s well-established, with growing beds too. The timber-clad garden studio has lighting and power, is fully insulated and heated, and makes a great home office. A dedicated shed area is accessed to the right hand side of the double-glazed French doors.

There are large Sainsbury’s stores in Forest Hill and on Dog Kennel Hill for big grocery shops, plus a Marks & Spencer Food Hall on Lordship Lane. You are a short bus journey from Peckham Rye Station (Fare Zone 2), or it is a circa 20 minute walk to either Forest Hill or Honor Oak Park stations (these are Zone 3, and all are on the London Overground line, for easy access to Shoreditch, Clapham and Canada Water - for Canary Wharf).

East Dulwich's Lordship Lane has great independent shopping opportunities, plus a big selection of pubs and restaurants (we particularly highly rate William Rose, SMBS, The Cheese Block and Franklins). North Cross Road hosts a great market each Saturday.

Local green spaces include Dulwich Park, Horniman Gardens, One Tree Hill, Peckham Rye Park and Common and Camberwell Old Cemetery.
