4 Bedrooms Semi-detached house for sale in Melbourne Grove, East Dulwich SE22 | £ 1,250,000

Property Description

This impressive, period, four bedroom house, which is being sold chain free, is to be found in the heart of East Dulwich on Melbourne Grove close to its intersection with East Dulwich Grove. This lovely house ticks a lot of boxes. It has been thoughtfully extended by the current owners through both a side return and loft extension and provides four double bedrooms and three bathrooms. In addition it provides off street parking (a real boon so close to the station) to the front and has a lovely garden to the rear. In the rear garden the existing owners have installed a large garden room, which currently accommodates both a home office and a sauna. However, this extremely useful space could be put to any number of potential alternative uses by any new owners. The house is nicely finished throughout and is ready to be moved into.

The property is situated moments away from Lordship Lane. So, on your doorstep, you have access to the many bars and eateries on what is one of southeast London’s premier and most sought after high streets. Whether you plan to eat out, or pick up some supplies for dinner in, everything you could wish for is within easy reach. In addition to the bars and restaurants, Lordship Lane also offers a growing number of independent shops and, on a Saturday, the foodie delights of the North Cross Road market are also just around the corner.

Both Goose Green and the recently opened Harris Academy primary schools are a short walk from the house as is the soon to be opened Charter School on East Dulwich Grove. The independent schools for which Dulwich is famous are also within easy striking distance. So, whatever your education needs, this house fits the bill.

Immediately on your right upon entering the kitchen diner is the downstairs cloakroom, which also has a shower enclosure with rainfall showerhead. The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of storage units in contrasting high gloss white and wood. There is a five burner range cooker and integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen area also has a large island unit, which provides both storage and a breakfast bar.

The current owners have also incorporated both seating and a home office area into this space. From the dining area an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, incorporating bifold doors, looks out onto the very pretty rear garden.

This is mostly paved with large beds to either side planted with a range of mature shrubs. At the centre of the garden is a bed in which is planted a beautiful mature magnolia tree. A particular advantage of this house is the large wooden outbuilding, which the current owners have installed at the end of the garden. As currently configured this is divided into two rooms. The first contains a home sauna cabin and the second is a home office. The building is fully wired for electricity and also has a phone line installed.
