2 bed flat for sale

North Cross Road, East Dulwich SE22

Big, bright, beautiful and characterful two double bedroom maisonette of 1059 square feet(!) over two floors, with direct access to a delightful private garden.

Find your new home within a handsome flat-fronted Victorian terraced building on the very best of the side streets off East Dulwich’s Lordship Lane, which plays happy host to a regular Saturday market (on the lower part).

Walk 10 minutes to East Dulwich Station (Fare Zone 2). And ed’s high street Lordship Lane boasts best indie groceries, and a multitude of fabulous cafes, eateries, drinkeries and boutique shops.

You open your own front door directly into your high-ceilinged kitchen/dining room, which is over 14 feet by nearly 17 feet. This is a pleasingly bright space, with a southerly aspect. Once a shop, it is much larger than your average Victorian conversion offerings. You’ll host many a nice night here!

On through and in this lobby area you have a plumbed utility/linen cupboard, and on your right is your large-sash-windowed bathroom. This has a neat white suite, and traditional-style fittings (including the over-bath showerhead).

Stairs lead down to your left (we’ll get there!). Straight ahead you open into your glorious double-aspect reception room, which stretches over 21 feet by over 12 feet. A central wood-burner is a pretty and practical feature. Other welcome ones include wooden flooring, T&G detailing, and generous bookshelving.

Open your back door in the bay to get to your lovely garden. This is low-maintenance by design yet well-stocked, and a wonderful space to entertain.

Your peaceful bedroom lair is downstairs. Your principal bedroom is to the front of the building (with thoughtful built-in closets), and a decent double rests to the rear, which is currently enjoyed as a very roomy study.

North Cross Road is a mixed residential/smart-commercial locale, with wonderful offerings: An independent book shop, cute eateries, a florist, a deli, and the regular foodie/creative Saturday market we’ve mentioned. Eric’s bakery deserves a special mention for epic fresh loaves.
