Any growing family will appreciate an offer as sensible as this. Having enough space to grow into and with the opportunity to add value, here we have the kind of plum proportions that should please everyone in the house. Natural light's good too - you benefit from large bays to the front of the property with morning sun from the back. A rear city garden is ideal for winding down, while the location means that some of South London's most beautiful green spaces are within walking distance, namely Peckham Rye and Dulwich parks.
Stripped floorboards remain in the double reception; the rear French windows open out to the garden side return. Past the stairs (and door down to the original coal cellar - ideal for storing bikes and Christmas trees), you reach the ample kitchen diner. Scooping out the chimney breast has created more cupboard and counter space, while beyond is a large larder cupboard and several hall cupboards plus a w.c. Children can get to the garden from here, it's a manageable size and easy to look after.
Mezzanine levels link the floors, with a very roomy bathroom between the ground and first floors - in fact it's the footprint of the bedroom above. That's the thing with townies; each room favourably follows its predecessor above and below, so no short straws on the box room if you know what we mean. Make use of the attic room too, a useful escape room for needy teens? This has two roof windows, ultramarine walls and is boarded.
East Dulwich (London Bridge) and Peckham Rye stations (London Bridge, Victoria, Blackfriars) are both zone 2 and within 10 mins stroll from here. Primaries are good; St John's and St Clements or Goose Green are both popular state choices. Charter, Kingsdale and Harris Academies provide for older children while Dulwich and the surrounding areas are home to some of the best private schools in the country (Jags, Alleyns, Dulwich College). Wrap up the weekly shop at Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's, get you organic fruit and veg delivered by the friendly faces at Pretty Traditional on Northcross Rd (the organic meat at William Rose Butcher's is second to none). Shopping in East Dulwich is a refined experience, plus there are many bars and restaurants that should enhance your social life.
