Rodwell Road, London, SE22

Four Minutes From The Best Cheese, Gelato Or Organic Fruit & Veg in East Dulwich. This stylish and spacious garden flat has a putting green and jasmine by the back door - just a few friendly streets from Lordship Lane and less than 30 mins to London Bridge. 

There's a version of South London living where your Saturday morning starts with a stroll to a fishmonger, a cheese shop and an award winning greengrocer - with a fresh French pastry or gelato as your reward.

Rodwell Road puts you right in the middle of it, with what in-the-know locals call “the best end” of Lordship Lane less than a 5 minute walk from your front door.

This is a two-bedroom garden flat that’s full of personality and thoughtful touches. The layout’s a little unusual, with both bedrooms on the ground floor and the living areas on the lower level, giving access to the private garden at the rear.

The two bedrooms are decorated so each has a genuinely different feel. The main bedroom is painted in warm Farrow & Ball yellow, with plantation shutters, wall-mounted lights by the bed and a calm, unhurried quality to it. 

The second bedroom at the front - currently used as a nursery but equally comfortable as a home office or a single room - is painted a soft duck egg blue, with a bay window looking out to the street and excellent built-in storage. 

The freestanding roll-top bath is a highlight of the four piece bathroom, which also has a separate walk-in shower, Moroccan-style tiles and blush-pink walls. 

Head downstairs and the sociable lower ground floor mirrors the layout above. The sitting room at the front has a bay window with plantation shutters, original parquet flooring and the biggest wall mounted TV filling up the whole width of the chimney breast.

The dining room gives you a real sense of light and space - with sage-green alcoves, space for a large farmhouse table and French doors that open straight out to the garden. 

The kitchen has deep teal-blue shaker style fitted units with oak worktops, subway tiles and a gas range. It’s practical, full of character and a pleasure to cook in or chat in. A new boiler was installed in 2022 (with a ten-year warranty still running), and all white goods are included in the sale.

Outside, the garden enjoys the morning sun - the perfect accompaniment for your morning coffee. There's a paved entertaining area and a mini putting green at the back. Hydrangeas in the raised beds add splashes of colour and the jasmine by the back door fills the whole space with scent on warm evenings.

The current owners keep the stable-style back door open most of summer - and you can see why.

Rodwell Road is a quiet East Dulwich street with an active WhatsApp group and where one of the friendly next door neighbours has been here for over 20 years. 

Lordship Lane is less than a five minute walk away, with M&S Food and plenty of independent shops to choose from if you like to stock up on a Saturday morning. There’s Brothers for fruit and veg, Moxon’s fishmonger and Mons cheese shop - with plenty of cafés to take the weight off your feet and recharge your batteries. 

Dulwich Park is only a seven-minute walk away and is thought to be one of South London's best - with a boating lake, tennis courts, a playground and the Clock House café in the middle. 

East Dulwich station is around 13 minutes walk away, with direct trains to London Bridge and the City, and Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye close by for Overground and Victoria line connections.

When people move onto Rodwell Road they do tend to stay a while, so you don’t often find such a stylish and move-in-ready home like this, only four minutes from Lordship Lane.

We're expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
