Description
Originally conceived as the winning design for the 1935 Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition's "Village of Tomorrow", Dorchester Drive is an architectural masterpiece and one of only three examples ever constructed. So significant is its heritage that the property was granted Grade II listed status in 2022, securing its place amongst Britain's most important surviving Art Deco homes.
Designed by the renowned architects Kemp & Tasker, this extraordinary residence seamlessly combines historic significance with exceptional family accommodation. Extending to substantial proportions, the house offers five/six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two elegant reception rooms and an impressive kitchen extension, creating versatile and beautifully balanced living space across multiple levels.
Throughout the home, a wealth of original Art Deco detailing has been lovingly preserved, including iconic Crittall windows, striking curved forms, period ironwork and an abundance of authentic architectural features rarely found in such remarkable condition. The property's unique layout was originally conceived to create dramatic entertaining spaces, reflecting the bold and forward-thinking vision that made the design famous.
A particular highlight is the spectacular roof terrace, where far-reaching views across the London skyline provide a captivating backdrop for entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet moment above the city.
Approached via electric gates, the property benefits from a private driveway and occupies one of Herne Hill's most sought-after residential settings. Offered to the market chain free, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a home that is not only exceptional in its scale and character, but also forms part of Britain's architectural story.
Quite simply, houses such as this do not come to market often.
Herne Hill blends village charm with outstanding connectivity, offering Thameslink services to the City and nearby Brixton's Victoria Line. Moments from Brockwell Park, the Lido, popular markets, independent cafés and a thriving community.
