2 bed flat for sale

Mundania Court, London SE22

This peaceful two-bedroom apartment sits on the third floor of Mundania Court in East Dulwich. In the kitchen, original Crittall windows look out onto a magnificent communal courtyard filled with tropical plants and greenery. Interiors have been impeccably finished, with rich parquet flooring and a soft colour palette.

The Building

Positioned between Mundania Road and Forest Hill Road, Mundania Court is an art deco building with relatively elusive origins. However, the building features many of the distinguishing trademarks of the art deco movement, with its clean, elegant simplicity and horizontal lines, including striking internal communal walkways and steel-framed Crittall windows, many of which have been carefully retained.

The Tour

A communal walkway overlooking the courtyard leads to the apartment’s private entrance on the third floor. Inside, a bright hallway with storage leads to a light-filled living room, illuminated by a wide band of glazing that extends across its length. Parquet flooring runs underfoot here and throughout.

In the kitchen, grey plywood cabinets have stone worktops. Appliances include an integrated fridge-freezer, a washing machine/dryer, a dishwasher and a Smeg oven with a gas hob.

A large window fills the principal bedroom with light. Built-in storage is concealed behind tactile linen curtains. The second bedroom is also bright and could be used as a study.

In the bathroom, dusky pink tiles by Madarin Stone line the floor and part of the wall. It has a bath with a showerhead, underfloor heating, a vanity cabinet with reeded wood panelling, and brass fittings by Crosswater. A window at one end brings natural light into the room throughout the day.

The Area

Mundania Court is perfectly positioned for the broad selection of cafés, bars and restaurants in East Dulwich, Peckham and Honor Oak, where favourites include Yard Sale pizza, Mons Cheesemongers, Moxons Fishmongers and Blue Brick café. Also notable is the homeware and plant shop Forest, as well as the East Dulwich Picturehouse. The Horniman Museum and Gardens is close by, with a cafe, anthropological museum and farmers’ market every Saturday morning.

The green spaces of Peckham Rye Park, Camberwell Cemetery and Dulwich Park are within easy reach, and nearby Dulwich Leisure Centre has a public swimming pool and gym. Honor Oak Park (Windrush line) is around a 15-minute walk away. The area is also well-served by several bus routes.
