Meticulously designed by Kinland and Ademchic, this contemporary three-bedroom townhouse sits on a quiet residential street in East Dulwich. A rich palette of oak, terracotta and terrazzo defines the interior, which has been finished with exquisite details and contrasting textures. The house has an excellent provision of outside space with its own private garden and secluded sunken courtyard at the front. It also lies within easy walking distance of brilliant Lordship Lane.
Please note that this house is part of an exciting new development of three houses on Ashbourne Grove. Only House 1 and House 2 are currently for sale. The images in the listing are of House 3, however the fixtures and materials are consistent with this house.
The Tour
Executed with dusty white bricks and zinc, the house has been designed to echo the surrounding Victorian terraces. Set back from the road, it is entered on the ground floor, which opens onto a generous lobby.
The living, kitchen and dining spaces occupy the ground floor and are predominantly arranged in an open plan. Polished concrete floors are fitted with zone-controlled underfloor heating and the walls are finished in a contemporary limewash. The living room sits at the front, with sliding glazed doors that open out across the garden. Arranged in an L-shape, the integrated kitchen comprises of oak veneer and with colourful terrazzo worktops. A terracotta tiled backsplash adds texture and warm, rich tones. All appliances are by Bosch.
Two double bedrooms lie on the lower-ground floor; both are illuminated by the sunken courtyard garden that draws natural light deep into the plan. The larger of the two bedrooms has a walk-in wardrobe with bespoke oak joinery matching the doors and architraves throughout. A large bathroom lies just off the hallway, replete with mosaic tiles, a concrete sink and contrasting matt black fixtures. Polished concrete floors continue on this level, also with underfloor heating.
The main bedroom has extensive glazing and crowns the top of the house. It has an en suite shower room, which mirrors the finishes in the larger bathroom on the lower ground floor. The upper floor has radiator heating while the ensuite also has underfloor heating.
Outdoor Space
The house has two outdoor spaces; a neat front garden and a generous sunken courtyard accessed via a steel staircase, with plenty of space for planting opportunities and a table and chairs.
