I drove past this yesterday, noticed the sign and wondered how much it might be on for in this depressed, recession ravaged housing market.


I guessed it would be ?1.25m - I was only out by the odd Million, on checking Harvey and Wheeler site it was ?2.25m.


Harvey and Wheeler seem to add a bit of a premium to your house price - lets see if it is hope value or real value.


Its a fantastic house though and what a location...shame you could win the lottery and still not be able to afford it. Well done to the people who have been lucky enough to get a chance to live there.

Calton Avenue

Seems like Calton Avenue has some local competition though. According to The Sunday Times Home supplement (19.4.9), the seller (below) has an illustrious pedigree:


It has a grotto in the garden and is the ultimate party house, but now Andrew Czezowski, who helped launch the careers of the sex Pistols and the Clash, and who founded the Roxy club in the West End of London, has put his Dulwich mansion on the market for ?3.65m through Harvey & wheeler.


Czezowski, who has been restoring the house for the past few years, wants to concentrate his efforts on Brixton nightclub The Fridge, which he also owns. Fountain House has five floors and 8000 sq. feet of living space, set in just over half an acre.


Thing is, i was going to put an offer in, but it only has five floors instead of six. Damn!

Hey DM,


Personally no, as i understand that i won't get much change out of my few million or so sheckles in Dulwich. Thing is, in this environment, i'd rather buy a row of shops in SE15 or SE27 and sit on the investment.


If i buy that house even i'd struggle to fill it with presence and that's after turning the grotto into a Cupid-Stunt meets Hugh Hefner style gimp-space.

    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
