Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to the market this exceptional two double bedroom split-level conversion flat occupying the upper floors of one of the grand Victorian houses on Dulwich Road, a popular street in this sought-after residential pocket, nestled between Herne Hill and Brixton.
As you approach the property, the handsome Victorian façade sets a welcoming tone, offering instant kerb appeal with its classic brickwork and decorative detailing. Set back from the road, a flight of tiled steps leads up to the front door. The internal staircase carries you up to the third floor, where the living spaces unfold in a thoughtful layout designed for both comfort and practicality.
The heart of the home is the reception room, positioned at the front of the apartment. Spanning the width of the property, it is flooded with natural light through three elegant sash windows. High ceilings, an ornate ceiling rose, and exposed floorboards create a sense of period charm, while an exposed brick feature wall adds warmth and texture. Painted in a calming tone, the room is inviting and versatile, with clearly defined areas for both dining and lounging. This is a space perfectly suited for entertaining friends or enjoying quiet evenings at home.
Adjacent to the reception area is a separate kitchen, thoughtfully designed with sleek white gloss cabinetry complemented by contrasting solid worktops. A classic subway tile splashback provides a timeless finish, while the window provides views of London and creates a bright and airy cooking space. There is also room for a small breakfast table, making this a practical yet stylish space for casual meals or morning coffee.
Also on this floor is a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath with an overhead shower, subway tiling, and geometric floor tiles, striking a perfect balance between modern design and period charm.
Ascending to the top floor, you will find two double bedrooms, providing a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas. The principal bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, benefits from a rare walk-in wardrobe, adding both style and practicality. The second bedroom, located at the rear, is a generous size and provides a tranquil space. A landing nook offers a perfect spot for a desk, making the property well-suited for anyone working from home.
Characterful features continue throughout the flat, with period details such as high ceilings and sash windows. The thoughtful layout ensures that the property feels spacious and welcoming, while its split-level design provides a clear separation between living and sleeping areas, enhancing both functionality and privacy.
The flat is exceptionally bright throughout the year and enjoys far-reaching rear views across London, including a glimpse of The Shard. The current owners have invested significantly in improvements, including double glazing in the living room and bedrooms, a new boiler, and refurbished entrance steps. A large loft offers excellent storage space. The upper section of the shared corridor is used exclusively by the flat, providing additional practical space for coats, shoes, and everyday storage.
Dulwich Road perfectly positioned between Herne Hill and Brixton and will appeal to anyone contemplating moving to either of these popular neighbourhoods. Herne Hill station is a six-minute walk and offers speedy access to London Victoria in ten minutes and the Thameslink service to London Blackfriars in twelve minutes, while Brixton tube is also within walking distance for the Victoria line, running 24 hours at the weekend. Having access to a green space is now more important than ever for our wellbeing – luckily, the lush, open spaces of the award-winning Brockwell Park are literally opposite the flat, along with its iconic 1930’s Lido and unrivalled sports facilities.
