Honor Oak Rise, SE23

The Honor Oak Rise Conservation Area lies on the southern boundary of Southwark and Lewisham. Honor Oak Rise is a handsome terrace, characterized by a series of paired Grade II-listed Victorian houses, notable for being adjacent to a historic area of semi-natural woodland on One Tree Hill. Famed for its visit by Queen Elizabeth I for whom the original oak tree was planted on the hilltop, One Tree Hill now offers a sweeping panorama of London’s skyline. This particular plot sits at the furthest end of the terrace, bordering the woodland. To see full details of the design of the consented scheme please contact the Agent. An expansive and detailed landscaping scheme for the surrounding gardens is also included in the design. The proposed development envisions that the roof will be converted to a timber decked roof terrace, flanked by two green roofs to encourage the local wildlife and provide the perfect position to enjoy the panoramic views and a private driveway will provide off-street parking for two vehicles. Honor Oak Rise is perfectly positioned for the broad selection of cafes, bars, and restaurants in East Dulwich, Peckham, Honor Oak, and Nunhead. Lordship Lane, a short walk away, is home to a vast number of independent shops, including Mons Cheesemongers, Moxon’s Fishmongers, and Terroirs wine bar. The Horniman Museum and Gardens is located further to the south, with a child-friendly cafe, anthropological museum, and farmers’ market every Saturday morning. The green spaces of Peckham Rye Park, Camberwell Cemetery, and Dulwich Park are within easy reach, and the nearby Dulwich Leisure Centre has a public swimming pool and gym. The closest Overground station is Honor Oak Park (a 10-minute walk away) which runs direct service to Highbury & Islington and London Bridge in around 15 minutes. Nunhead and Crofton Park Thameslink stations are also within easy reach and there are plenty of excellent bus routes in the area. Tenure: Freehold Council Tax Band: E
