Oakhurst Grove ~ Boutique Apartments

[woodycheese]

I live on Oakhusrt Grove and see that Acorn Estates are currently marketing 3 new "boutique" apartments on the street. I took a peek at them the other day and have to say they are magnificent. They have all been "dressed" by an interior designer so look like show homes. The previous resident had let the house fall into disrepair but from what I saw the other day, they are now finished to a very high standard so if you are looking for a pristine property in East Dulwich, then I would definitely check these out. No idea how much they are on for but I was very impressed with them, especially the ground floor "apartment". BTW I have no affiliation with Acorn Estates...!!

550K for a two bed flat in ED... good luck with that.

[stephen509]

Surely cheaper to hire a interior designer full time.

I think there will be a lot of interest Jeremy...exactly what does an extra ?200k, above the average ED 2 bedder price, get you? ;-)

Flock Wallpaper?

[woodycheese]

I heard on the grapevine that the black, high gloss, Banham front door, cost ?10,000....

[El Pibe]

I guess this is one of them?

Words like "more", "money", "than", and "sense" spring to mind :))

ETA: Pity they didn't get a decent garden designer in as well.

ETA: Actually, forget the "as well" - that implies the interior designer was decent :))

I'm disappointed there's no 'plantation' shutters....cheapskates

no storage at all, what a shitehole.

[Sue]

You could store stuff in the garden, there's sod all else there.

why does the 'similar properties nearby' bit show similar prices

[El Pibe]

"why does the 'similar properties nearby' bit show similar prices"

the emphasis seems to be on the 'similar properties' rather than the 'nearby', creating the illusion that it's normal!!

It's a common trick nowadays not to provide bedroom built-in storage, or even 'dress' a bedroom with a wardrobe. If you look at the size of the bedrooms on the floor plan you can see why...

...with the propensity of cats in the area, you'd think they would've come up with rooms big enough to swing one in.

"The tranquil "The Gardens" and Peckham Rye Park are close by"

The garden in the middle of "The Gardens" is a private garden for residents of that road, isn't it?

[LondonMix]

That's right, you need a key and you have to live in the square.

[polla2256]

I hope they didn't pay their designer LOL

[Cam123]

To balance the negativity a bit, there was a studio flat that needed renovating up for auction on that road 4 or 5 months back; it was guided at 110 and went for 195 if I remember rightly. This is after a similar sized one set back off goose green went for 115 18 months ago. Therefore I wouldn't underestimate how much prices have pushed on in the last few months and I don't blame them for having a punt at a fairly strong level.

Nice kitchen, But have to confess that I find the rest of the decor a bit bland like a boutique hotel

[gpercival78]

I did hear Harry and Paul have some apartments being renovated/developed as well. The complex is called "I saw you coming"...

[TheShelleys]

Paul and Harry did see them coming, now that 550 garden place is sold stc! When they move in, Franklins can do them out of their grocery budget for a handful of exquisite, hand-turned vintage carrots.

Half a million and you don't even get a proper kitchen?? Truely there are people out there with more money than sense. I saw a 3 bed semi on Peckham Hill street on offer for ?800,000 the other day.

Who is buying these houses???

[LondonMix]

What do you call a proper kitchen? I've seen houses with smaller kitchens that this flat :)

[Cyclemonkey]

A separate room from the living room, not an open plan space with a kitchen that looks like it has been built in a coridoor. New conversions never provide enough kitchen space. My purpose built, turn of the century flat has a good sized separate kitchen with enough room for a table and chairs. It also has cupboards and a larder.

The word garage springs to mind...
