alice Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I always understood that the large detached house on the corner of Colyton rd & Forest Hill Road was part of the park and therefore had to be used for some kind of community use. It has been a nursery. Today on the market for £3000000. So does anyone know more about the change or the history?

jazzer Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Always thought that before the nursery moved in, it had been the Lodge responsible for Peckham Rye Park and Common, if I'm mistaken please correct me. Year sold Sold price 1999 £265,000 +6% 1997 £249,000 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/332119-%C2%A33000000-or-community-use/#findComment-1636638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbob Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I understand it was the last remaining building from 4 farms, which were bought out to create the park in Victorian times. More space than just the common was needed for the many people who would come out of London for leisure on the weekends. I believe it's just a private property. The nursery isn't a 'community' project, just a private company.

alice Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 When it was previously up for sale there was mention of community use. But now I’m not sure how that changed. Roy Brooks was the estate agent then if I remember correctly Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/332119-%C2%A33000000-or-community-use/#findComment-1636644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbob Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 The nursery only opened in the last 10 or so years. Before that I'm pretty sure it was just a private home.

Spartacus Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Alice, with all your interest I am wondering if its a case of A) you want to buy the property and want to know its history B) you are crying `Curiouser and curiouser!' C) you are trying to disrupt the sale by finding a clause previously forgotten Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/332119-%C2%A33000000-or-community-use/#findComment-1636681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
