Hi we used to live in ED for many years and was an active member of EDF. We now live in Australia, but are coming ?home? this Dec to ED. Would you like to swap our 3 bed sandstone double brick house in leafy Wahroonga (situated on the north shore train line 40mins from the city) for your 3 bed place in Dulwich?

Our house is available from 6th Dec thru to 27th Dec 2019.

I tried to post a few pics of the house and garden ( it?s a large garden with gum trees and lots of kookaburra and rosellas and a few possums and bush turkeys ...all wild). We also have a couple of cats..need to think about what do with them..

Anyway if you think you may be interested in a trip down under and enjoy some warmth in the lead up to Xmas and a proper Aussie style Xmas this year and you have a nice house to swap then do get in touch. We have 2 girls ..so all the toys and books to suit children aged 5-13.


Thanks for reading. Look forward to reading your PM?s and I will try to figure out how to condense my picture sizes so I can post something of my place too. (We just had our kitchen renovated ..stone bench, white cupboards,smeg appliances and plans to do bathroom too..so it?s a nice place)

    • In an area which (thank goodness) is stuffed with good and acceptable restaurants (East, West and Central Dulwich) Belair would have to be a real destination - hence I suggested the need for a very high quality offering which would encourage visitors to go in search of it. A restaurant next to a station is a very different beast than a country house down a side street. I know about it because I live, and have lived for nearly 40 years, pretty close. And I have gone there on a number of occasions in its different guises. Sometimes with great enjoyment, other times less so. But for a site like that to work it must deliver its promise, which because of the nature and cost of the site will have to be both high-end and not very crowded, which means high prices and probably aiming for at least twice the covers occupation most nights and some lunches. Frankly, it can't live on local trade alone (because there are too many good alternatives) - so it has to build a rep for people to travel there, and again and again.
    • But the bulk of the build is for student accommodation, with just 'some' affordable housing which will, if history is anything to go by, become much less once the scheme is started. Southwark has, I believe, quite a number of empty properties which are not in use. The number of people on Southwark's waiting list is frankly irrelevant to this scheme, which won't touch the surface. This isn't 'new housing' which is visible, but commercially profitable student bedsits (at least, the developers hope it will be commercially profitable). 
    • Does anyone know if Tommy Rooney is away? I have a boiler emergency and he isn't responding to messages. I don't really want to use someone I don't know, and I know Tommy is excellent!
