This beautifully arranged three double bedroom apartment is located on the garden floor of this brand new development, Villa Fontaine, creating 9 unique new homes in a desirable location between Dulwich and Crystal Palace priced from £599,950 to £895,000.

It seeks to offer a unique, dynamic lateral apartment living, un-rivalled within the surrounding Dulwich environment.

The Development

Designed by Craftworks, a global award winning company and one of Britain's most enterprising and intelligent architect practices, voted one of the world's top 50 best-emerging architects by Wallpaper magazine.

The overall appearance of the building is calm, balanced and robust, with a subtle visual richness. The elevation is contemporary in style, but is tied in to its context by the vertical proportions of its bay windows and the use of world renowned Peterson hand made Danish brick and tile, there is also bespoke joinery throughout. The exterior has been designed with considered attention to quality and detail of the materials selected while adhering to the local context and character.

Defined by its craftsmanship and practicality, there are far reaching views from each unit, with a double aspect layout with views from front to back. Each apartment has large living areas with bay window concept with full height windows allowing ample daylight and views out. The rooms are well designed and purposeful layouts that are both functional and harmonious. There are two generous double bedrooms towards the rear of the plan, one with an en suite. A family bathroom in the centre sits between the living and sleeping spaces.

Features includes ample storage throughout, background ventilation to all spaces, in built desks in bedrooms, underfloor heating, hand made solid wood kitchens, solid wood flooring throughout, unique design of solid wood wall and ceiling panelling throughout, solid Corian style kitchen worktops, full height solid wood doors, high security with intercom and secure by design layouts, secure cycle storage with green roof tops.

There is off street parking available by separate negotiation if required.

The Area

Villa Fontaine sits beside Dulwich and Sydenham Woods, both wildlife nature reserves. This, combined with Dulwich and Sydenham Golf Course, as well as an allotment and sports club ground, provides unbroken green space as far as Dulwich Park and Lordship Lane. The lake, maze, and open spaces of Crystal Palace Park are also a short walk away, as are the beautiful expanses of Sydenham Wells Park and Dulwich Park.

Other local attractions include The Dulwich Picture Gallery, The Horniman Museum and the local town centres of Crystal Palace and Dulwich Village.

Crystal Palace, which has previously been named number five on Lonely Planet's "greatest little-known neighbourhoods in the world", is a 15-minute walk away and is a vibrant area with award-winning restaurants and bars as well as having a thriving arts and music scene. Church Road winds through Crystal Palace, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, including Brown & Green, Four Boroughs, Palazzo, and the Affinity Brew Shop. We've written more about our recommendations in the area in our Journal.

Dulwich Village is also a 15-minute walk from the house, and the street is well-placed for Ofsted-rated "Outstanding'" primary and secondary state schools, as well as some of the best private schools in London.

There is a short walk on a footpath to Sydenham Hill Station, which runs services to London Victoria (13 minutes), Blackfriars (20 minutes) and City Thameslink/Farringdon (22 minutes). Connecting trains (via Sydenham) will take you to Canada Water in 20 minutes and Shoreditch High Street in 30 minutes.
