PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Located in the heart of East Dulwich is a stunning, beautifully restored and maintained four double bedroom mid-terrace Victorian family home offering plenty of light and space. The property is decorated to a very high standard throughout with an abundance of period features including three fireplaces, cornicing, high ceilings, ceiling roses and internal and external corbels.
The house has the great kerb appeal that one would expect from a Victorian period property with exposed red brick walls and detailed masonry around the bay windows and front door.
The house was extended and refurbished in 2016 with thoughtful attention to detail. Everything was done to this beautiful house. There are bespoke storage solutions built into almost every room, from bookcases to wardrobes to shelving. There is new and gorgeous flooring throughout - tiles, wood and carpet - as well as new fitted bathrooms and kitchen, fireproof doors, double-glazed windows, and a new boiler. The care has continued every year since.
Through the gated front garden is the main entrance in beautiful stained glass leading to a tiled entrance hall which houses bespoke storage cupboards and pigeon holes, an under-stairs cupboard and a downstairs WC and real stone basin and stand.
On the ground floor is a spacious double reception room with solid wood flooring, built-in shelving and media centres, and period features such as original fireplaces and cornicing. A large bay window at the front of the house illuminates the room with natural light.
The rear kitchen has been extended into the side return creating a lovely kitchen breakfast room with plenty of wall and base mounted units with solid granite worktops and integrated appliances (washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge-freezer and dishwasher). The floors are clad in Travertine tiles with under-floor heating and there are large double-glazed doors that lead to the sunny rear garden.
The garden is truly superb having been completely landscaped and professionally maintained, and is bursting with colour and fragrance. There is a patio area as you step out from the kitchen followed by a high-end surprisingly soft astroturf lawn surrounded by mature borders full of an array of plants and shrubs from hydrangea to jasmine.
Upstairs on the first floor are three double bedrooms, the larger two at the front of the property fitted with bespoke fitted wardrobes and unique design features. The largest at the front of the house has a lovely bay window with fitted shutters and a beautiful window box with built-in storage beneath to house an array of accessories. To the rear is a smaller double which is currently set up as a study overlooking the beautiful garden.
The family bathroom has been lavishly decorated with stone-effect and real stone floor-to-ceiling tiles, underfloor heating, a beautiful free-standing roll-top bath, toilet, basin with cupboard underneath, and separate walk-in shower.
The loft has been converted to create a peaceful and elegant bedroom with a large en-suite shower room; this room would make a great master bedroom or guest suite (although your guest may not want to leave). The entrance is on the first floor which gives the loft space a great feeling of space. Sky lights above, Velux windows and a window to the rear flood the room with natural light which can be controlled with black-out blinds.
The shower room is nothing short of luxurious, clad in pale grey stone-effect tiles with underfloor heating. There is a fabulous large walk-in shower accompanied by a stylish ornate Victorian marble washbasin and classic high top toilet.
The house is located opposite Colwell Road allowing more light and privacy rather than a row of houses. Given its central location the house and garden feel wonderfully quiet, a real haven.
