5 bed detached house for sale

Underhill Road, East Dulwich, London SE22

Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward are delighted to present this absolutely outstanding five-bedroom Victorian family home, finished to an exceptional standard throughout. Beautifully combining period character with contemporary design, the property has been thoughtfully redesigned and extended to create an elegant and highly functional home, perfectly suited to modern family living.
A standout feature is the architect-designed ground floor extension and newly created top floor, both conceived by stac Architecture. The ground floor has been carefully designed to maximise light, space and practicality with direct access to a beautifully sized private garden, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Particularly impressive is the excavated lower-level family area, where the floor has been dug down to create additional ceiling height and a striking sense of volume. The subtle step-down and Crittall bespoke steel internal windows adds architectural interest while enhancing the flow and openness of the space.
At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, providing the perfect environment for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The bespoke kitchen, handcrafted by FincH, combines timeless design with excellent oak storage and is complemented by a range of premium appliances including Siemens ovens, microwave and dishwasher, a Fisher & Paykel American-style double fridge/freezer, and a Quooker boiling water tap. The carefully curated colour palette throughout the house was designed by Stealth Design, creating a cohesive, stylish and welcoming atmosphere.
Further enhancing the practicality of the home is a bespoke boot room fitted by Hammonds, completed in March 2025 and offering exceptional storage for busy family life. Adjacent to the boot room is a beautifully finished ground floor cloakroom featuring Italian marble tiling, hand-cut, reflecting the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail evident throughout the property. A separate reception room provides additional flexible living space and creates an excellent balance between open-plan and more formal accommodation.
The loft conversion (recently completed in April 2026) represents a significant enhancement to the property. This impressive top floor comprises a spacious principal bedroom, contemporary shower room and bright landing area. Air conditioning has been installed throughout all bedrooms, with each room benefiting from independently controlled units. Two of the bedroom units offer both heating and cooling functions, ensuring year-round comfort.
Comfort and energy efficiency have been carefully considered throughout. Underfloor heating runs beneath the oak flooring across the entire ground floor, while the family bathroom benefits from its own separate underfloor heating system. The property further benefits from gas-fired central heating and hot water supplied via a combi boiler, together with double glazing. The working open fireplace creates an inviting focal point.
Offering generous accommodation across five bedrooms, exceptional entertaining space and a meticulous standard of design and finish, this is a truly remarkable family home that effortlessly blends Victorian charm with modern luxury. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this outstanding property has to offer.
