The house is offered for sale with many of its original features intact, including parts of the original kitchen units, parquet flooring and generously proportioned windows. It now requires modernisation throughout. In particular, the house's original underfloor heating system is no longer in working order.
The property measures approximately 1,064 sq ft internally. It is set back from the road off a raised pavement, and is entered through a small private front garden and then a porch. Inside, there is an entrance area with a kitchen to one side, a large dining area and a reception room giving on to the rear garden. Upstairs, the property has three bedrooms and a bathroom.
Norman Starrett's terrace of houses on Dartmouth Road is part of a group of outstanding properties he designed for the development company Hyndewood.

Open space can be found at Crystal Palace Park, Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Park. The house is close to good schools, a library and the Horniman Museum, and under construction nearby is a new leisure centre with swimming pool.
