2 bed flat for sale

Oakhurst Grove, East Dulwich SE22

Large, light, architecturally-treated two bedroom garden flat with a fab rear extension with cool exposed steelwork. Side access (to your generous east-facing decked and lawned garden), a handy cellar, and a Freehold-share complete matters. More good news? The property is being sold without a chain.

The setting is a pretty and quiet residential one-way street (with unrestricted parking) in East Dulwich/Peckham Rye borderland, close to Goose Green, Peckham Rye Park and Common, Lordship Lane, Bellenden Road, and to both East Dulwich and Peckham Rye stations (walk 11 and 13 minutes to these respectively).

There is a shared hall where your own front door is set to your right. A neat coat closet rests to your immediate right, on entry.

The principal bedroom is at the front of the building. It is over 15 feet by over 11 feet, with pale carpeting, fitted closets, drawers and shelves, and a big bay window (on trend custom-made shutters impressing here).

Adjacent is your sash-windowed second bedroom, of over 11 feet by over 9 feet, in a pale pink hue.

Next you have your contemporary bathroom. This has concealed plumbing, ceramic tiles in brick pattern, a smart white suite, and an over-bath shower.

Last but not least is your big reception room - which runs over 23 feet, and is open-plan to the smart kitchen. We love the Velux windows set in the roofline. Engineered oak floors roll through the whole space. The fitted kitchen has smart units and wooden counters, and a (double) ceramic Butler sink.

Wall-spanning double-glazed sliding doors deliver you to your mature private garden of circa 40 feet, which gets great morning sun and is a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle. The side access is great for gardening, bikes, BBQ guests etc.

What’s about? Most locally on East Dulwich Road, you have a handy Tesco Express store and a classy parade including a Hop Burns & Black, ice cream parlour, bike shop, chippy, and kokum (contemporary modern Indian restaurant/bar). East Dulwich leisure centre is on this stretch, as is a new Majestic outlet (because life is about balance!).

And beyond this area, Rye Lane is laden with cool socialising spots, with the likes of Peckham Levels, and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park - which are bursting with trendy eateries, drinkeries, rooftop bars, yoga classes and the like!

Nunhead is an easy walk for independent staples such as fc Soper (wet fish shop) and Ayres (bakery). El Vermut, The Pyrotechnists Arms and BARD4100 are great here, as well.
