1 bed flat for sale

Melbourne Grove, East Dulwich SE22

Excellent penthouse pad of 501 square feet on a cute street off Grove Vale and near Lordship Lane and Goose Green, just two minutes from East Dulwich Station (Fare Zone 2).

The bright flat sits on the third floor: A smart addition and crown to this attractive Victorian corner building. Windows are double-glazed, walls are fresh and white. Enjoy a great layout (no wasted space here) with an open-plan main room incorporating seating, dining and kitchen areas, and a double bedroom leading to the property’s full bathroom.

In the main door (to the side of the building on Jarvis Road), take stairs to the third floor and your own front door. From the entrance lobby, go straight ahead for your double-aspect living room/dining room/kitchen. This is nearly 20 feet by over 14 feet and has fab rooftop and skyline views. Modern gloss white kitchen units impress, and these are teamed with smart blue metro-style tiles with a bevel.

Your bedroom is a respectable double, at over 12 feet by over 11 feet. A big bank of built-in wardrobes (wall to wall and to the ceiling) keep matters tidy. Access the bathroom from this room. This has a modern white suite, over-bath shower, under-basin storage, and large profile tiling. As throughout, lighting is recessed.

We’ve mentioned your close proximity to ed Station. You also have lots of useful bus routes a couple of minutes away. There are lots of cafes and eateries within easy reach. We particularly love Norbert’s (rotisserie chicken and fries plus cocktails/mocktails), Blackbird Bakery and Jones deli. A handy M&S Food Hall is next to the station, and Lordship Lane has delightful independent offerings including William Rose, Mon’s and Moxons, and strong pubs (The edt, The Palmerston and The Bishop to name a few).

You are also really close to SE15/Peckham’s many hip and happening spots, markets, boutique gyms and such. Rye Lane and Bellenden Road are just a 10-15 minute walk for delights such as Forza, Artusi, Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Lai Rai and Peckham Plex (movies for £5.99). For Peckham pubs, check out The Gowlett, The Montpelier, The White Horse and The Victoria Inn. Camberwell is also close. Here we like Ruskin Park, The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield (has a Michelin star!), Lala Books, Theo’s, Silk Road and Gladwell’s deli.

Keeping fit? East Dulwich has a nice leisure centre with swimming pool, and Peckham Rye Park & Common hosts a friendly Parkrun each Saturday at 9am.
