Modernised to a very high standard e. g. renovated kitchen.

Balcony (also not overlooked by anyone) with beautiful view of greenery and neighbouring gardens. Garden details below.

End of terrace house so no house on one side of ours = less noise from neighbours and more privacy.

Alternatively you can drive or cycle to Brixton in 10 minutes).

You can get to some places in zone one/Central London faster from this West Dulwich flat compared to starting a journey in zone one/Central London.

Contact me if you'd like the postcode -starts SE21 -you can then use Citymapper app, or Google Maps, to see your route options.

BUSES:
Plenty of buses - the bus from Brixton to the house is a ten second walk from Brixton tube and a 30 second walk to the house. The bus is not on the same road as the house and there is next to no traffic or air pollution on the road the house is on. The bus takes 15-20 mins to Brixton in the day, 15 at night. The bus goes every 12 minutes or so in the day and goes all night.

There are also various other buses (day and night buses) within a few minutes walk of the house. The area is also very well serviced by buses (and public transport generally).

DRIVING / PARKING:
Free resident parking, lots of parking spaces and it is always easy to find one.

ZIPCAR is also now in Lambeth -this is Zipcar's drive and drop service 'Flex' which allows members to spontaneously jump into a car and drive to their destination -members can end their trip by dropping the car off in any of the thousands of approved parking bays in the capital (tend to be only a minute or two’s walk away from all London destinations).

UBER

CYCLING- if you don't have your own bike then there's a local service to rent bikes by the month (and 3 two-hour 121 cycling lessons provided by TFL for free). The area is also safe for cycling, even for unconfident cyclists, (with room to store bikes in the secure garden or in bike hangers on the street).

BALCONY:

The kitchen leads onto a balcony (large bi-folding doors open up onto it) with a table and chairs for sunset drinks -from here you have a beautiful view of several gardens and a close up view of various birds. The area is very peaceful and no-one overlooks the balcony, as they do in so many places in London.
From the balcony, you can descend the stairs to the private garden.
