Flat for sale in London SE22, 2 Bedroom

Smart two bed purpose-built flat of nearly 660 square feet, on the top (second) floor of a modern build on one of East Dulwich’s fanciest streets, on the Forest Hill border. Front and rear gardens are communal, and the flat comes with its own private garage (to the rear of the low-rise block). Double-glazed throughout. Leasehold.

The communal hall is neat and practical. Take the stairs to your own front door on the second floor. Once in, take a right and the furthest room is the large reception, set to the back of the building. It’s over 16 feet by 13 feet with swish wooden floor, and plenty of space for seating and eating areas. Next door is the bathroom that’s been recently refurbished, and includes both bath and independent shower (with a simple white suite and modern fittings). A large storage cupboard features in the landing area. Opposite this is the entrance to the fitted kitchen with window to the side of the building. Next door is the second bedroom of over 9 feet by over 7 and at the front, you have the master bedroom of over 13 feet, by nearly 10. With a bank of built-in wardrobes - so no need to lug one up the stairs! Both bedrooms have pale carpets and neutral walls.

This is a particularly leafy patch of south London, very close to beautiful Horniman Gardens and Museum. Forest Hill Station is a short, pleasant walk, or stride a little further to Honor Oak Park Station (both offer mainline services and London Overground ones, too). Alternatively, jump on a bus for East Dulwich or Peckham Rye stations.

Wee ones? Local schools include Goodrich, Horniman and Fairlawn. Lordship Lane is a short stroll for shops, bars, restaurants and things to do (we like Dulwich Picturehouse, William Rose butchers, The edt, Franklins and The Cheese Block loads!), as is central Forest Hill with leisure centre and a big Sainsbury’s store. Dulwich Village is also close for more options.
