House For Sale £1,895,000
Sublime Six Bedroom Georgian Gem With Original Charm Over Five Floors.
This semi-detached Georgian beauty sits towards the top end of Grove Lane close to the East Dulwich border. This town house, with five bedrooms, three receptions and two bathrooms, sits over four floors with the added bonus of a self-contained one bedroom flat on the lower ground floor. A stunning family home which exudes warmth and personality with some delightful decor touches and sympathetic styling. Recent refurbishment includes replastering, upgraded electrics and new bathroom and kitchen appliances. The house puts you in a great position for both the bars and eateries of Camberwell Church Street and East Dulwich. You are four minutes from a very large Sainsbury’s (next door to Dulwich Hamlet fc) and 10 minutes from some great food shops in Lordship Lane. Denmark Hill station is a mere three minutes away on foot for unbeatable connections to Victoria, Shoreditch, Farringdon, Blackfriars, Canada Water and beyond. East Dulwich is 10 minutes in the opposite direction for yet more connections.
Set back from Grove Lane behind a lovely flagstone front garden, you ascend two small flights of elegant stone steps to arrive at the impressive period front door. Entering the upper ground floor, you are welcomed by a wonderfully wide hall with gorgeous designer wallpaper, white painted timber floors and arched cornice work. The first door to the right draws you into the first of three receptions, a formal dining room, where you will be charmed by two arched, shuttered windows facing the front. As with many of the rooms in this home, a marble fireplace takes centre stage with an original slate hearth. The first of many wonderful Farrow and Ball wall tones creates a most inviting space for entertaining. Bi-folding doors lead you into the second reception . Again, this room has a charming original fireplace and a large bright sash window looking over the garden.
Returning to the hall from the second reception, take a short flight down to reach the spacious kitchen which enjoys fantastic hard wood parquet flooring. Beyond the dining area, a door leads directly to your private garden. The garden itself is mainly paved, with mature borders and an array of planters. An ideal spot for mid-summer garden parties.
Back into the house (through the kitchen) stairs lead up to the first half landing. Straight ahead is the first of six bedrooms facing the back of the house overlooking the garden, also boasting a wall of wardrobes. A handy shower room sits next door. Heading up to the first floor is the second bedroom, a good sized bright double room with sash widow. This room also sports two fitted wardrobes and another lovely fireplace. There is also a convenient shelving unit for all those books.
Before leaving the first floor, turn right on the landing and be prepared to be wowed by the stunning third reception, the drawing room. Straight ahead of you are three floor-to-ceiling sash windows, (all with original shutters) supplying a most special dappled light. A beautiful cast iron fire place and marble surround finishes the scene. Facing south, south east, over Grove Lane, this promises to be a bright and welcoming room for visitors.
Pulling yourself away, head upwards to the last of the half landings to where you will find a family bathroom and some handy extra storage. Never failing to impress - you next find access to the magnificent roof terrace! Relax here with a glass of pinot and some fabulous views stretching as far as St Paul's. The final three bedrooms in the main house are found on the second floor, all still boasting high ceilings, sash windows and stunning dulcet tones.
Having thought you had seen it all, remember there is still the lower ground floor (self-contained) one bedroom flat. Accessed from under the stone steps leading to the front door, or from the main house. This space would be ideal to make a little extra income or as a first-time home for one of your children when they demand their independence. Your private entrance leads you direct into the galley kitchen, with plumbing for washer dryer and dishwasher. As you step through the kitchen, a door leading to the rest of the house is ahead of you. There is a shower room and double bedroom to your right, with plenty of room for a bed and wardrobe. Back towards the kitchen, on the left, is a decent sized reception with two sash windows facing the front of the property to let in the light.
There are a number of excellent schools nearby - a short walk down leafy Greendale to the highly rated independent James Allen's Girl's School and co-educational Alleyn's School. Dulwich College and Dulwich College Prep are a short drive/bicycle ride away. Also nearby is the well regarded Villa Pre-Prep School & Nursery. Camberwell College of Art is also within walking distance. Local eateries will keep you perpetually calorie counting - we love The Camberwell Arms, a winner of the Observer Food Monthly’s Best Sunday Lunch award, eight minutes down the Grove.
The very lovely Grove Lane Deli is proving a huge hit and we love Theo's pizzeria too. Celebrated boozers include the Hermit's Cave, The Crooked Well and The Grove Tavern. There are plenty of shops nearby including a host of independent food shops on Camberwell Church Street and Camberwell Green, plus a new, modern library and playground. There is a Sainsburys superstore an easy 5 minute walk away. The shops and foodie hotspots of Peckham and East Dulwich are also in walking distance. Keeping fit? Camberwell Baths is stunning and within an easy canter. Ruskin Park is a short walk away and you have the Butterfly Tennis Club is nearby too. The elegant Dulwich Park and Brockwell Park are also a short bicycle ride away.
