Property description
A stunning, five bedroom, Grade II listed detached Georgian family home located within a quarter of a mile of Blackheath Village.
In recent years, the house has undergone significant and sympathetic improvement by the current owners. As a result, the house is in fantastic condition both inside and out. Despite more modern additions to the original house, the property retains much of its period charm along with various period features throughout, such as ornate Victorian ceiling decoration and period fireplaces. This stunning house truly offers a wonderful blend of old and new.
Dating back to 1806, houses of this quality within such close proximity to Blackheath Village are rare to come to the market. The house itself is set back from the road and is accessed via a sweeping in/out driveway which offers parking for multiple cars.
The majority of living accommodation is positioned on the ground floor and so this property offers generous lateral living space, which is such a rare find in the local area. On the ground floor there is a double aspect reception room, a formal dining room, contemporary shower room with WC and an open plan kitchen dining room which includes a delightful reception space. There is no better illustration of the sympathetic refurbishment than the extended kitchen area / garden room. At one end of this room, a beautiful shaker style kitchen over looks a sweeping driveway to the front. To the rear, a contemporary reception space boasts a breath-taking glass wall which looks out over a beautifully maintained garden, extending to over 200 feet. The walled garden is thoughtfully designed with a York stone terraced area to the immediate rear with lawn, water feature and well stocked planting areas beyond.
On the lower ground level, there are two further reception spaces, which could make for an ideal home office, gym or cinema room. A utility room, shower room with WC and wine cellar complete the accommodation on this floor. The lower ground is served by its own entrance, so with some minor alterations, it would be possible to create an entirely self contained granny annex or spacious au pair's residence.
Blackheath Village is within very close proximity and offers an array of shops, bars and restaurants. Beyond the village you will find the open expanse of the heath itself, which is a jewel of South East London. Blackheath station is ideal for commuting into town with regular services in to London Bridge, Charing Cross, Cannon Street and London Victoria. One stop down the line will bring you to Lewisham Station where the DLR service provides regular services into Canary Wharf and Bank.
Those who are considering schools will have a number of options for both state and public education. Local schools include Heath House, Blackheath Preparatory School, John Ball and Brooklands Primary School. Further afield, Dulwich College run a bus service directly from Blackheath Village and Eltham College is within three miles.
Your early attention to this lovely family home is highly recommended.
