This fantastically bright three bedroom flat on the first floor of Frobisher Court has spectacular views over central London from its elevated position on Sydenham Hill. Designed by Austin Vernon and Partners in 1959, the building forms part of the Dulwich Estate and won a Civic Trust award in 1964.

Frobisher Court is set among planned gardens and mature trees in a location much loved for its outside spaces; the Horniman Play Park is across the road and Dulwich Wood and Park are a few minutes’ walk away. It is a 10 minute walk to the centre of Forest Hill and the station.

These apartments were intended to provide high-quality housing for working professionals, and as such were finished with lovely hardwood floors and Crittal windows to create a prevailing sense of space and light. The communal areas in these blocks are extremely well-considered. Inside the apartment, a bright lobby leads to the large living space. This room is full of light, with an almost five-metre window that runs the width of the room allowing views to the City. Across the hallway is the kitchen, with a neat corner window and an inbuilt larder.

Forest Hill has become an extremely popular area of south-east London with the help of the London Overground extension. As a result, there are plenty of very good independent cafes, restaurants and pubs in the area. Frobisher Court is well placed for the shops and restaurants of Dulwich Village and East Dulwich, as well as the open spaces of Sydenham woods and Dulwich Park. Eliot Bank Primary School (Ofsted rated Outstanding) is a few minutes walk away, and The Horniman Museum and Gardens with its weekend farmer’s market is close by. The nearby V22 Collective houses a number of artist studios and a community library.

An area well-known for its exceptional Modern architecture, the Dulwich Estate occupies approximately 1,500 acres, with numerous private roads that are managed by the Estate. It is noted for its concentration of outstanding 1950s and 60s design, much of it by Austin Vernon & Partners. The mix of houses and exceptional landscaping make for an appealing and unique place to live.
