Landells Road, London, SE22

This impressive three-bedroom residence in East Dulwich has undergone a comprehensive transformation in recent years. The fusion of original period elements and the architect's modern design creates a thoughtfully crafted home characterized by a harmonious selection of materials. At the back, there's a well-designed west-facing garden featuring meticulously arranged bushes and grasses, ensuring a lush appearance all year round.

An attractive Victorian terrace comprising "half houses," constructed from the distinctive yellow London stock brick and adorned with double sash windows. The shared front door, positioned along a pathway beneath a recessed arch with a keystone, serves two homes. This entrance opens to a stylish communal foyer featuring classic checkered tiles, mint green tongue-and-groove paneling, and a coordinating front door. With a dual aspect and an east-to-west orientation, the house facilitates the influx of natural light, bathing the internal spaces in illumination throughout the day.

The entrance seamlessly transitions into the modern kitchen, where double-height muted grey cabinetry spans the length of one wall. At the center, an island with wheels offers flexibility, allowing it to be easily repositioned for varied room layouts. The island provides additional storage and workspace. A burnt orange hexagonal tiled splashback introduces a welcoming burst of color, mirroring the tones of the lampshade above. The fixtures throughout are by Vola.

The original parquet flooring stretches across the entire area, seamlessly flowing into the front-positioned living room, which boasts a dusky pink paint scheme. Two generously sized sash windows flood the space with natural light. Custom-made joinery flanks the fireplace on both sides, providing ample storage while harmoniously echoing the Victorian architectural style of the building. While many period features have been preserved or meticulously restored, their timeless charm stands in striking contrast to the contemporary extension at the rear of the property.

The dining area takes center stage as the focal point of the home. The architect has ingeniously designed a visually captivating split-level extension, paying homage to a mid-century aesthetic with a thoughtful selection of materials. Exposed brick walls harmonize seamlessly with slate oblong tiles underfoot, extending to form a patio area accessed through glazed double doors that create a seamless transition between the interior and the garden. The double-height ceilings, strategically positioned skylights, and the incorporation of Flos lighting fixtures contribute to a palpable sense of volume. The ceiling, finished with bare plaster, echoes the same aesthetic found upstairs.

A staircase, painted in a soft grey hue, ascends to the first floor, revealing three spacious bedrooms and an additional bathroom. Vertical slatted screens provide both separation and an open feel to the spaces along the stairs. Similar to the living area, the first-floor bedroom retains numerous period features, including newly-fitted cabinetry. The second bedroom, currently serving as a study, is situated at the rear, featuring clay plaster walls and abundant storage in the form of floor-to-ceiling cupboards. The impeccably designed family bathroom on this floor showcases a bath and shower adorned in playful cobalt blue and white tiles by Bert & May.

Crowning the top of the house, the main bedroom boasts large single-pane windows that offer sweeping views across London. The rear wall showcases diagonally placed oak floorboards, introducing warmth to the color palette, complemented by additional Flos light fittings. An adjoining neutral en suite, complete with a shower and skylight, completes this elegant space.

Connecting seamlessly to the dining room, glass doors effortlessly slide open, revealing a thoughtfully landscaped west-facing garden. A tiled patio area at the forefront provides ample room for a table and chairs. Meandering through the garden, a pathway is adorned with meticulously planted evergreen grasses and bushes, enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings. Corten steel planters, mirroring the earthy tones of the rear extension, introduce a captivating texture to the outdoor space.

Nearby is Bellenden Village which boasts its own charming array of amenities, including a parade of pubs, renowned restaurants, boutique shops, award-winning butchers, grocers, hairdressers, dry cleaners, and coffee shops – ensuring everything you need is conveniently at your doorstep. Moreover, being positioned on the border of Peckham Rye and East Dulwich, you're just a 10-minute walk away from an abundance of gastropubs, bars, restaurants, and shops along Rye Lane and Lordship Lane. The proximity to green spaces and playgrounds like Goose Green, Peckham Rye, and Dulwich Parks, along with the Dulwich Leisure Centre opposite and plans for the Peckham Rye Lido reopening, offers a wealth of recreational options.

Outstanding local nurseries and schools further enhance the appeal of the area for families. This unique home is offered as freehold, and early viewings are highly recommended. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind residence.
