Occupying a prime position on one of the most desirable residential roads in East Dulwich, this substantial detached double-fronted residence extends to over 2,000 sq ft and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home in SE22. The property retains a wealth of original period character, with ornate ceiling mouldings, elegant fireplaces, high ceilings and original doors finished with brass ironmongery, including a rare Victorian front door lock believed to be original to the house.

The home has a notable local history, having once been adapted to provide accommodation during the wartime period following bombing in the area along Underhill Road. Today, it stands as a substantial and elegant family residence offering excellent living and entertaining space.

The ground floor comprises two generous reception rooms, a formal dining room and a light-filled conservatory overlooking the large rear garden, creating a seamless balance between formal entertaining and relaxed family living. Upstairs, the property provides five bedrooms of varying proportions, offering flexibility for family life, guest accommodation or dedicated home-working space.

Externally, the property benefits from a private driveway providing off-street parking and a sizeable rear garden, which features naturally layered soil and drainage beneath the lawn — a practical and unusual feature that helps maintain a healthy lawn despite the clay-rich ground typical of the area. The home is further enhanced by a modern Worcester Bosch combi boiler (installed approximately 2–3 years ago).

The property is exceptionally well connected, with regular bus services from nearby Lordship Lane providing routes towards central London including the West End, Brixton and King’s Cross. Additional transport options are within walking distance, offering convenient rail access to London Bridge and the wider Overground network.

Rarely do detached homes of this scale, character and presence become available in this sought-after location, making this a superb opportunity to acquire a landmark family house with enduring appeal.
