This large Modern house (approximately 2,200 sq ft in size) is located in a quiet corner of South East London and was designed by the renowned architect Joyce Lowman. It is a 5-bedroom property with a good-sized garden, two reception rooms, a garage and large, light spaces throughout. Although now in need of some updating, many of the best original features remain.

The house is one of a pair designed by Lowman in 1971, the other smaller one (sold by The Modern House in 2011) for Lowman’s own occupation and this one for a favoured client. Intelligently working with a sloping site, Lowman has created a series of south-facing spaces that create an exciting internal layout, a level garden and a first floor balcony from which far-reaching views towards Biggin Hill and Surrey beyond can be enjoyed. For more on Lowman please see the HISTORY section.

Accommodation in the house includes five bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room and living room. There is also a further reception room (with kitchen area) on the first floor. There is a garage and a private, level, lawned garden to the side of the house.

The house can be found on White Lodge, a peaceful cul-de-sac in an elevated position that offers far-reaching views. The house is short distance to central Crystal Palace, Streatham and West Norwood, all of which have a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants and other amenities.  Local transport links include Gipsy Hill, West Norwood and Norbury Stations (National Rail) and Crystal Palace Station (East London Line).
