The Vendor's comments
"Living in East Dulwich is a pleasure. Being close to two lovely parks, the local shops and East Dulwich centre has made for a high quality of life.  Transport is excellent, there are regular bus services, nearby train stations and tube lines that make connecting easy. People are friendly, there are great local schools, libraries and other amenities. I lived all over London before settling in East  Dulwich and I love it. The house is an oasis of calm.  And very practical too.  I have enjoyed most being semi-detached and able to get bikes and anything else easily round the back.  Also having a shed and picking fruit in the garden.  Inside all the rooms are comfortable and cosy with a bit of character. We will be sad to leave."
