6 bed detached house for sale

Piermont Green, East Dulwich, London SE22

This truly enchanting and unique home really is a country house in London. Set in approximately half an acre of manicured grounds, the current owners believe this charming Lutyens' style property was reconstructed circa 1914 using the materials from a farmhouse in Sussex and includes original oak floors, oak doors and beams throughout the house. The property offers exceptional, well-proportioned family accommodation, a separate coach house as well as a large indoor swimming pool.

Sussex House is reached via a discrete driveway on Piermont Green. Beyond the entrance gate is a large, stone-paved area which hosts space for multiple cars.

Inside the main house, one is greeted by a welcoming hallway which leads to a number of spacious reception areas including a large living room overlooking the exceptional garden and boasting beautiful, mullioned windows, original plaster frieze, traditional cottage-style doors as well as a handsome fireplace. Further reception rooms include a formal dining room overlooking the garden and a separate study. A spacious kitchen/breakfast room, complete with large larder, flanks the paved sun terrace perfect for alfresco dining. A butler's pantry and downstairs cloakroom complete this floor.

The sweeping main staircase leads to the first floor comprising five bedrooms including the main principal bedroom and en suite shower room. The remaining four bedrooms are spread across this floor and have access to two additional bathrooms and a separate cloakroom. A second "back" staircase leads down to the kitchen. Sussex House also benefits from a large attic space which presents fantastic storage.

Sussex House's grounds really are exceptional and provide a haven of peace and tranquillity. A large lawn with well stocked borders grants a spectacular view from the main reception rooms, whilst the pool house containing a large, heated swimming pool opens to a sunny terrace and overlooks a second lawned area previously used as a grass tennis court. A kitchen garden encircles the pool area and connects to the various outbuildings including a pool room, laundry and various stores.

Adjacent to the front gates is a separate Coach House incorporating a large garage and one bedroom annexe, perfect for guest or staff accommodation.
