Formerly known as "Lyncombe" and dating back to 1868, this grand Victorian mansion was designed by Charles Barry Jr., the architect and surveyor for Dulwich College. Converted into four distinguished apartments by The Dulwich Estate in the 1950s, the building retains its architectural magnificence and historical significance.
Occupying the second and third floors of this imposing residence, this extraordinary apartment spans approximately 2,548 sq ft. Showcasing an array of exquisite period features, it is discreetly positioned and offers breathtaking views of the London skyline from its private rooftop terrace. Additional benefits include a garage and access to a beautifully maintained communal garden.
The second floor is centered around an expansive living room, bathed in natural light from a striking south-facing bay window and anchored by an ornate marble fireplace. Three well-proportioned bedrooms complete this level, one of which is currently configured as a home office and opens onto a spacious, well-appointed bathroom. A utility area and an additional bathroom provide practicality and convenience.
A spiral staircase ascends to the third floor, where an impressive kitchen and entertaining space awaits. Flooded with natural light, this area features doors that lead to the private roof terrace, offering panoramic views north towards the City and Docklands, breathtaking both day and night. This level also benefits from a pantry, a cloakroom and generous eaves/loft storage which has potential to be converted, subject to the usual planning consents.
The property is surrounded by picturesque woodland and mature trees, some over 150 years old, creating a tranquil and verdant setting. A communal lawned garden further enhances the charm and appeal of this unique home.
Crescent Wood Road is a quiet residential road located close to College Road and the tollgate yet is situated in a peaceful, countryfied setting, backing directly on to Dulwich Wood, its surrounds and nearby golf course.
The property is exceptionally well located for DUCKS, Dulwich Prep and Senior and Dulwich College as well as being a short drive from James Allen's Girls' School and Alleyn's School. The delights of Dulwich Village are very nearby, with its shops, cafes and world-renowned Picture Gallery as well as beautiful Dulwich Park.
