The houses on Lings Coppice represent some of Dulwich Estates most interesting architecture. The layout is defined as a Radburn layout, after a town in the US where it was first designed. The houses of Lings Coppice are arranged in a U-shape of terraces with gardens that open onto communal landscaped amenity areas. The houses have a unique design over two levels, with an atrium style dining area that acts as the main circulation space. The individual designer was Manfred Bresgaens, a German architect working for Austin Vernon & Partners at the time. Lings Coppice today offers a strong sense of community with a well-run Residents Association that provides practical and social support for all residents.

The area is renowned for its quality of schools with both Dulwich College and Dulwich prep within easy reach. Nearby there are plenty of amenities such as restaurants, cafes, a delicatessen and a Tesco metro. Dulwich Village is also within easy reach with its Picture Gallery and the park. Rail links to London Victoria and Blackfriars are from West Dulwich station and the number 3 bus has a good service to Regent street via Brixton (Victoria Line).
