5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Barry Road, East Dulwich SE22

This impressive semi-detached Victorian villa offers five bedrooms and an abundance of natural light, set along one of East Dulwich’s most desirable leafy streets, ideally positioned between Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. The property enjoys a strong sense of presence and scale, with its classic period architecture complemented by a calm residential setting.

The house is arranged across three and a half levels, following the traditional raised ground floor format that gives the principal rooms an elevated outlook and generous proportions. Around 15 years ago, the property benefited from an extensive refurbishment programme that went far beyond a cosmetic update. Works included the restoration of the external brickwork, full internal insulation, a new Welsh slate roof with detailed leadwork, and the installation of a Sarnafil waterproof system to the raised terrace. Original-style double-glazed sash windows and French doors were also added, blending modern performance with period character.

Inside, the finish is both refined and practical. Solid French oak flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while original decorative features such as cornicing, ceiling roses and a restored mahogany staircase balustrade have been carefully reintroduced. The lower ground floor is laid with large-format Italian granite tiles and benefits from underfloor heating, creating a comfortable and versatile space well suited to family life. The kitchen is a high-quality Poggenpohl design, fully equipped with integrated Miele appliances, and the home is supported by two Megaflow hot water systems.

To the rear, the garden stretches to approximately 120 feet, offering a substantial outdoor space with enormous potential. Currently informal in style, it provides an excellent canvas for landscaping or further enhancement.

The location is a particular highlight. East Dulwich’s vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants are close at hand, while the open spaces of both Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye are within easy reach. East Dulwich station offers convenient transport links into central London, making this an ideal home for families seeking space, character and connectivity.

A substantial period home in a prime East Dulwich setting, combining classic Victorian elegance with thoughtful modern upgrades and a generous garden.
