Property Information

This masterfully conceived three-bedroom penthouse apartment spans two floors of this design led brand new development.  The building seeks to offer a unique, dynamic lateral apartment living, un-rivalled within the surrounding Dulwich environment. Wonderfully well-located, the home is within easy reach of many of south London's most loved spots, including Dulwich and Crystal Palace.

Designed by Craftworks, a global award winning company and one of Britain's most enterprising and intelligent architect practices, voted one of the world's top 50 best-emerging architects by Wallpaper magazine. The building is set back from the street, the clean brick façade is a distinctive presence on tree-lined Sydenham Hill. The overall appearance of the building is calm, balanced and robust, with a subtle visual richness. The elevation is contemporary in style, but is tied in to its context by the vertical proportions of its bay windows and the use of world renowned Peterson hand made Danish brick and tile, there is also bespoke joinery throughout. The exterior has been designed with considered attention to quality and detail of the materials selected while adhering to the local context and character.

The penthouse is defined by its craftsmanship and practicality, there are far reaching views , with a double aspect layout with views from front to back. It has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout. Careful consideration has been given to the finer details; refined touches including hand made solid wood kitchens, specialist clay plaster finishes and natural lye finishes avoiding toxic paint emission, solid Corian style worktop, full height solid wood doors and underfloor heating throughout. Care has been taken to maximise light throughout the plan, resulting in a sequence of bright, flowing spaces.

Beyond the lobby is the living area, a voluminous space with high ceilings and generous proportions. A large window with far reaching views is at the rear of the living area with an equally impressive skylight above which can be opened. On the opposite side, a flexible space which could act as a formal dining room with doors out onto a private terrace. The remainder of the space act as a breakfast room with fully fitted kitchen and ample storage space.

At the rear is the master bedroom with ensuite. Another large window with wonderful views down into Dulwich, wall to wall built in wardrobes and a ensuite. All bathrooms include CP Hart and Duravit sanitaryware, have built-in white bathtubs with clear glass shower screen and multi-set thermostatic shower system, mirrored cabinets and under-sink storage.

The second bedroom also has an impressive storage area and access onto the roof terrace whilst the third bedroom has a skylight which can again be open. There is also a family bathroom which separates the second bedroom from the master bedroom.

There is off street parking available by separate negotiation if required.

The Area

Villa Fontaine sits beside Dulwich and Sydenham Woods, both wildlife nature reserves. This, combined with Dulwich and Sydenham Golf Course, as well as an allotment and sports club ground, provides unbroken green space as far as Dulwich Park and Lordship Lane. The lake, maze, and open spaces of Crystal Palace Park are also a short walk away, as are the beautiful expanses of Sydenham Wells Park and Dulwich Park.

Other local attractions include The Dulwich Picture Gallery, The Horniman Museum and the local town centres of Crystal Palace and Dulwich Village.

Crystal Palace, which has previously been named number five on Lonely Planets "greatest little-known neighbourhoods in the world", is a 15-minute walk away and is a vibrant area with award-winning restaurants and bars as well as having a thriving arts and music scene. Church Road winds through Crystal Palace, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, including Brown & Green, Four Boroughs, Palazzo, and the Affinity Brew Shop. We've written more about our recommendations in the area in our Journal.

Dulwich Village is also a 15-minute walk from the house, and the street is well-placed for Ofsted-rated "Outstanding;" primary and secondary state schools, as well as some of the best private schools in London.

There is a short walk on a footpath to Sydenham Hill Station, which runs services to London Victoria (13 minutes), Blackfriars (20 minutes) and City Thameslink/Farringdon (22 minutes). Connecting trains (via Sydenham) will take you to Canada Water in 20 minutes and Shoreditch High Street in 30 minutes.
