Perks for the Parents

This stylish Edwardian home in the leafy location of Dulwich, south London, is full of period features and charm. It sleeps 6. Parents will have their own spacious master bedroom, while little ones can have a dedicated children’s bedroom or a loft room for older kids and teens. Families who love to cook can enjoy family meals in the eat-in kitchen, which opens directly to the garden for sunny summer days, with serene views over the surrounding green fields. For hassle-free dining, the beautiful Dulwich Village (10 minutes’ walk) offers a choice of family-friendly cafes and restaurants to visit. This is a great spot for families, yet only around half an hour from central London’s famous tourist spots.

Why Kids Love it

Toddlers and younger children will love this exciting vacation home. The pond in the backyard is home to lily pads and a family of newts, and there’s plenty of toys and books to enjoy. There’s even an easel set up next to the kitchen with its own skylight for budding creatives. There are small parks and playgrounds on your doorstep, as well as the huge Dulwich Park and Brockwell Park nearby. The widely-respected Dulwich Picture Gallery (10 minutes’ walk) offers special art exploration workshops for toddlers, while the nearby Herne Hill Velodrome (8 minutes’ walk) runs dedicated toddler, child or teen sessions with bike hire, so the kids can try out this Olympic standard training ground.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 10 nights. There are stairs located throughout the property. There is a small pond at the end of the garden that is quite deep, and not fenced off, so young children should be supervised outside. There is parking for 1 car in the front garden, plus free parking on the street - car hire would be helpful but not strictly essential. The residence comes with a dishwasher, washer/dryer, DVD library, TV and WiFi. Hosts can provide a baby monitor, children’s utensils, Stokke high chair, outlet plugs, stair gates, or a crib/travel crib on request.

About the Location

This home is located in Dulwich, south London. It’s a 2-minute walk to the nearest bus stop (route 3) which goes into central London or to Brixton for the Victoria Line subway. There are 3 train stations within walking distance: West Dulwich (10 minutes), Herne Hill (12 minutes), and North Dulwich (15 minutes). Both Heathrow and Gatwick airports are just under 1 hour away by car. This area is known for being family friendly and full of green spaces, sports grounds, and some of the country’s most exclusive schools: the beautiful Dulwich Park (15 minutes’ walk) has playgrounds, tennis courts, boating on the lake and a cafe. Brockwell Park (10 minutes’ walk) has a miniature railway, outdoor swimming lido, and a kids splash park in the summer. Don’t miss Herne Hill’s popular farmers’ market on Sundays, and the vibrant Brixton Village - a covered market of restaurants and bars inspired by cuisines from all over the world.

Accommodation Details

This residence has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, set over 3 floors. On the ground floor, there’s a double reception room and a kitchen with dining table (seating 6) and doors leading out to the garden, as well as a library with a double pull-out sofabed (connected to the kitchen and therefore not fully private). On the first floor, the master bedroom features a super kingsize bed, the children’s bedroom has a double bed (and space for 1 crib) and the second bedroom has 1 double bed. This floor has a family bathroom with a standalone claw-foot bathtub. There is a loft space with a kingsize bed, which is sometimes available for guests depending on the group size (preferred group size of 6). There’s also 1 airbed available. Outside, there’s an 80-foot backyard with sweeping views over green playing field, railroad bridges and out to The Shard in central London.

Style Notes

Elegant Edwardian townhouse. The house is a mix of historic charm and modern furniture to create a contemporary yet accessible family-friendly home. Detailed cornices are paired with Serge Mouille light fixtures, while the hosts’ framed art, antique rugs and unique objects add a classic and timeless feel to the interiors. It’s a warm, naturally-lit house with iconic lamps, chairs and tables found throughout. We love the traditional curved window upstairs, the brick detailing in the kitchen and the mid-century dining chairs.

Dulwich, London

Lakes, parks and stories

To the south of central London, beyond Battersea and Brixton, the green oasis of Dulwich includes parks with boating lakes and duck ponds and enough play areas to entertain the kids in a different spot every day of the week. It’s about half an hour from London Bridge by train and Tube and was once the home of Enid Blyton.
