Forest Hill Road, East Dulwich, London, SE22

Arranged across two floors and extending to approximately 1,169 sq ft, the house offers three bedrooms, beautifully considered living spaces and a particularly impressive kitchen and dining room at the rear.

Set behind a walled front garden, the house retains its distinctive curved bay frontage. Inside, a wide entrance hallway introduces the home’s original character, with stripped timber floorboards, stained glass and natural light creating a warm and inviting first impression.

The front reception room is a generous, beautifully proportioned space, with a broad curved bay window drawing in natural light. Soft pink walls complement the warmth of the exposed timber flooring, creating a relaxed and welcoming setting for everyday living.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home. Recently redesigned, this expansive space has been carefully considered for both family life and entertaining. Clean architectural lines, simple white cabinetry and a generous central island create a calm, contemporary aesthetic, while the natural texture of the timber floorboards brings warmth to the otherwise understated palette.

Large windows frame views across the garden, allowing natural light to fill the room and establishing a visual connection between inside and out. A glazed door provides direct access to the garden, making the transition between the two spaces feel particularly natural.

Upstairs, the sense of light continues through the stairwell, where original stained-glass windows introduce colour and character. Three bedrooms are arranged around the landing, comprising two generous doubles and a well-proportioned third bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from the curved bay window and a wall of bespoke green joinery, providing extensive storage and introducing a rich contrast to the otherwise neutral interiors.

The bathroom has been reimagined with a confident, contemporary approach to materials. Graphic terrazzo surfaces sit alongside white tiling and black fittings, while a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower create a space that feels both practical and carefully designed. A separate WC continues the same material palette.

Outside, the approximately 40 ft garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established planting and mature trees providing greenery and a sense of privacy. There is space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with useful side access adding to the practicality of the house. For those looking to create additional space, there is also potential to extend to the rear and into the loft, subject to the necessary planning consents.
