2 Bedrooms Flat for sale in Oakhurst Grove, East Dulwich SE22 | £ 674,950

Property Description

This spacious two bedroom garden apartment which is being sold chain free is to be found on the ground floor of an impressive period building on Oakhurst Grove, roughly equidistant from both East Dulwich and Peckham Rye Railway stations. The building is well maintained and comprises three flats in total. The apartment has gas fired central heating and is being sold with a share of the freehold.

Oakhurst Grove is a quiet no through road of handsome period properties that runs between East Dulwich Road and Tyrrell Road. So, within a five minute stroll, you can find yourself in the open spaces of Peckham Rye Park or, in the other direction, amongst the many bars, restaurants and independent shops of Lordship Lane.

East Dulwich railway station (which provides direct services into London Bridge (c.13 mins)) is a five to ten minute walk from the property and it is a similar walk to Peckham Rye railway station. At Peckham Rye you will find direct trains to Victoria and King's Cross stations and access to the London Overground services providing connections to the Jubilee line tube services to Canary Wharf. Frequent bus services are also available on East Dulwich Road and Lordship Lane providing direct routes to destinations including Victoria, Waterloo, Brixton and London Bridge.

As well as offering existing generous accommodation one of the principal attractions of this property, in our opinion, is the potential scope for development in a number of areas. Extending the footprint of the apartment would obviously be subject to obtaining the necessary consents and approvals, but with a large cellar space, very generously sized garden, wide side return and extensive existing period outbuildings, the scope for developing this property is potentially enormous.

You approach the building along a paved pathway and enter into the recently re-carpeted and repainted communal hallway with its period plasterwork. The door to the apartment is immediately to your left.

Upon entering the apartment you find yourself in the hallway, which runs the full length of the property. At the beginning of the hallway are the doors to the reception room and the first bedroom. The reception room is to the front of the apartment with a bay looking out onto Oakhurst Grove. This is a spacious and bright room with high ceilings typical of properties of this age.

Opposite the door to the reception room is the door to the first bedroom. This is a spacious double room with double built-in wardrobes and some additional built in storage space. This bedroom has stripped and painted floorboards and a casement window looks out from the bedroom onto the side return of the property and the garden beyond.

Upon leaving the first bedroom and continuing along the hallway towards the rear of the apartment, you pass the entrance to the cellar space. This is a generous area suitable, at the moment, for storage although the current owner informs us that it may be possible to lower the existing floor to create greater head height opening the space up for alternative uses.

Next along the hallway is the second bedroom. This is the smaller of the two bedrooms though still a nicely sized room. There is a casement window looking out from this bedroom onto the side return of the property and there is also some built-in storage.

Adjacent to the second bedroom is the bathroom. This is fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising bath with over bath shower, handbasin and WC as well as a heated towel rail. There is recessed ceiling lighting and a window looking out onto the side return. The floor is tiled with slate tiling and the bath surround with large contemporary ceramic tiles.

At the rear of the apartment is the kitchen. This is fitted with a range of wooden units with a dark worksurface. There is an integrated oven and hob with space for other freestanding appliances. A casement window looks out from the kitchen onto the garden and a half glazed door leads out from the kitchen into the garden.

Externally the property benefits from a large off-street parking area (which belongs exclusively to this apartment and is capable of accommodating two cars) at the front of the property. At the rear this apartment has a large private garden and an extremely wide side return of more than 3 metres. The rear garden is partly paved (which provides a great place for outdoor dining or entertaining) with the remainder of the garden laid to lawn with beds to either side.

At the rear of the garden is an original brick built outbuilding, which spans the entire width of the garden. In its current state this provides a huge amount of dry storage space but also provide scope for development into a range of other uses including, potentially, a home office or music studio or children's play room. It is rare to find such original outbuildings in the area and in our opinion it is a major selling point of this property.

From the main part of the garden the wide side return leads to a locked passageway (which also belongs to this apartment), which allows direct access into the garden from the front of the building without the need to pass through the apartment itself.

This is a really well located apartment which, whilst it can be moved into immediately, offers the scope to develop it into a very special home. It is being sold with a share of the freehold and chain free. Your early viewing is recommended.
