A new-build eco-house with fantastic lateral living space, situated in a leafy and quiet East Dulwich location. The property is offered for sale off-plan, and the purchaser has the chance to choose the internal layout (see floorplans for three alternative layouts).

The house is one of a pair designed by award-winning architects Hampson Williams. Named Hide & Seek, they are semi-detached and have shared use of a private access road. This particular house, Hide, measures approximately 1,870 sq ft (172 sq m) internally, and has an off-street parking space, courtyard gardens and a roof terrace.

The majority of the proposed accommodation is set over the ground floor, including three bedrooms – all with en-suite bathrooms – a large open-plan kitchen and reception room, and a guest shower room / WC. On the first floor is a second reception room, with access to a decked terrace. Two alternative layouts are available, one of which provides four bedrooms rather than three – see the floorplans for details.

The house makes use of sustainable materials such as Western Red Cedar
cladding, timber-frame construction and extensive sedum roofs. A combination of very good insulation, underfloor heating and a mechanical heat-recovery ventilation system ensures that annual running costs are kept to a minimum.

Interior features include frameless double-glazed rooflights, a staircase with oak treads and frameless glass balustrades, recessed low-energy lighting, engineered hardwood floors (carpeting alternative available), ceramic tiles on the bathroom floors, built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms, and TV cabling in all living rooms and bedrooms. The house comes with a 10-year NHBC Buildmark Guarantee.

The walled site, previously used for residential garages, is surrounded by mature trees and gardens that help to provide privacy. It is accessed via a private driveway between two houses on Dunstans Road. Nearby Lordship Lane has a broad range of independent
shops, bars and restaurants including the celebrated Franklins (a
restaurant and farm shop). The open spaces of Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye are within walking distance. Numerous local
buses go directly into central London. East Dulwich and Honor Oak Park stations offer direct services to Canada Water (12
minutes), London Bridge (14 minutes) and Victoria (34 minutes). There are a range of good state and
independent schools in the area, with the Goodrich Community Primary School just 300m away.
