4 bedroom detached house for sale

Designed by architect Jeffrey James in 2006, this unique modernist home was built around a 1920s house and praised by The Architects’ Journal as “radical” and “exceptional.” It sits quietly back from the road with a discreet entrance that opens into bright, open interiors defined by split levels and a dramatic skylight that floods all three floors with natural light.
The main living spaces include a sunken sitting room, a modern kitchen, and a dining area opening directly onto a terrace and garden. Clever storage and a utility room/WC complete the ground floor.

The upper floors are accessed via a hidden staircase, on the second level three bedrooms (one with terrace) share a family bathroom with both bath and shower, while the entire top floor is dedicated to the main suite, with its own en suite, flexible extra room, and direct access to a treetop roof terrace.

The house was designed with sustainability in mind, featuring solar panels that offset energy use and an electric car charging point. Outside, the front driveway is bordered by mature trees and shrubs giving a truly private feel, while the rear garden is split across three distinct sections including terrace, lawned area, and garden studio ideal for home working or home gym among other potential uses.

The location is one of East Dulwich’s best, close to Lordship Lane in addition to the facilities and transport links of Dulwich Village, Forest Hill, and Honor Oak Park.
