A staircase ascends to the first floor, with two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is at the front; here, white-painted walls enhance the impression of spaciousness, further enhanced by large sash windows overlooking the front garden. An original cast-iron fireplace provides a focal point and is flanked by bespoke full-height wardrobes while the original floorboards contribute a warm atmosphere. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is well appointed in soothing sage green tones.
Two additional bedrooms are found on the second floor, where white walls and white-washed floorboards create a wonderfully bright environment. The largest room has a striking fireplace with intricately carved red-and-black surrounds. The second, more modest in size, currently serves as a tranquil home office.
A large bathroom lies on this floor, with a built-in bathtub and separate shower. Elegantly finished, it has dark painted walls and ceilings, and large format tiles.
The Great Outdoors
An inviting yet low maintenance courtyard garden extends to the rear and is accessed from the kitchen. Bordered by roses, olive trees, hydrangeas and leafy climbers, it offers a quiet retreat to unwind or savour the last of day’s sunlight care of a west-facing orientation.

Kirkdale High Street is a short walk away, with treasures such as Vardo, The Moustache Cafe, and Kirkdale Bookshop. Local amenities can be found at nearby Dulwich Village and Crystal Palace, and the Sydenham Hill Wood Nature Reserve is close by.
