Underhill Road

A design led, beautifully presented four-bedroom, two-bathroom, end of terrace Victorian family home, situated on one of East Dulwich's prime residential roads. SOLD CHAIN FREE!

This handsome house has a typical Victorian façade, sash windows with detailed masonry, set against exposed bricks that have been painted white.

The property is nicely set back from the street protected by a cedar wood cladded fence with a gate. The front garden is a very generous, private space and a particularly nice sunspot, making it an additional usable outside space, in addition to the rear garden.

The ground floor has a lovely open plan double reception living space, with high ceilings, cornicing and exposed bleached original floorboards. At the front of the property is a comfortable lounge which has a wood burner in the fireplace and a large square bay window that looks out to the front garden and fills the room with plenty of natural light.

The rear part of the ground floor is cleverly divided by a Crittall style glass partition, separating the lounge area from the kitchen dining room.

The ‘L’ shape kitchen hugs the corner of the room allowing for plenty of space in the middle of the room for a dining table and chairs. It has classic charcoal black shaker style base units with a solid wood worktop above and a metro tiled splashback. The hob and extractor sit on one side of the room, with a newly fitted integrated oven below, adjacent is a butler sink that sits neatly beneath black framed Crittall windows looking out to the rear garden.
A door to the side leads beneath the staircase to a coal cellar offering handy additional storage.

From here another doorway leads through to a very functional utility room which houses the boiler, a guest WC and has additional storage cupboards. It also has a small sink by a window that looks out to the garden and space for a washing machine beneath the worktop.

From here there is direct access to the rear garden, which is a low maintenance, intimate space with large grey patio slabs and fencing all around. There is also side return access that leads out to the front.

Upstairs, on the half landing at the rear of the house, is a very stylish, good size family bathroom. Centre stage is an antique roll top bath with shower above accompanied by a toilet, heated towel rail and a butler sink with traditional wall mounted Victorian taps incorporating a vanity unit below. A frosted sash window to the rear offers natural light and ventilation.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms. At the front of the house is a large double with a square bay window and a single bedroom adjacent. There is an additional good side double at the rear of the property. All the bedrooms share similar features with high ceilings, double glazed sash windows and exposed wooden floorboards that have been painted white.

At the top of the house is the second floor, converted loft space where there is a large bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The bedroom has carpeted floors, storage in the eaves and far-reaching views from the window.
The shower room has a clean minimalist feeling with micro cement walls and light grey hexagon tiled floors. There is a good size walk in shower enclosure accompanied by a toilet with hidden cistern and a contemporary wash hand basin.
