Offering generous proportions and a large private rear garden is this substantial 4 double bedroom Victorian family home in the heart of East Dulwich. The house also benefits from off-street parking, a home office/studio at the end of the garden and is located in close proximity to highly rated primary schools, local amenities and green open spaces of Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye.

Upon approaching the house, it is hard not to be impressed by its grand Victorian façade which has detailed brickwork and masonry surrounding the windows and the arched porch leading to the front door. The house is set well back from the street by a driveway that offers off-street parking.

As you enter the house, there is a wide hallway with wood flooring and the staircase which offers storage underneath.

The front of the house is a double reception room which boasts plenty of period features such as original floorboards, high ceilings with cornicing, a period fireplace and a large bay window. The rear part of the reception room shares similar features but with shelving in the alcoves of the chimney breast and double-glazed French doors that lead to the garden via the side return.

The kitchen/dining room is located to the rear of the house, the dining area is located by the entrance to the room which offers plenty of space for a large table and chairs with a couple of windows to the side return that offer plenty of natural light. The kitchen area is separated by a solid wooden breakfast bar worktop that wraps around the room on both sides accompanied by plenty of Shaker style base and wall-mounted cupboards. The oven, hob and extractor is set on one side of the room and the sink is on the opposite side, sitting neatly under a window looking to the side return. Beyond the kitchen is a handy utility room with a guest toilet.

The garden is a really good size, almost 80ft long (24m)! There is a patio area closest to the house, perfect for al fresco dining in the summer. The garden has been beautifully maintained by the current owner with a vast array of mature plants and shrubs that surround a lush green lawn. At the far end of the garden is a home office studio, perfect for anyone working from home.

Upstairs on the first floor are 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The main bedroom offers generous proportions occupying the whole width of the front of the house. It offers high ceilings, a feature fireplace and a large double glazed bay window that fills the room with natural light.
