The Vanbrugh Park estate was constructed in the early 1960’s. The architects who designed it were arguably one of the most important Modernist architectural companies in England, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon. Some of their more famous projects included the Barbican Centre and Golden Lane in central London.
The property itself is set at the edge of the development which comprises a mix of apartments and houses, book ended with pleasant greens, courtyards and pathways.
From the road, stairs lead to the first floor with a pedestrian walkway serving the properties. Here you will find the subject home. Resplendent with greenery externally from the current owner’s pots and plants (in sunnier times). There is a parapet wall which acts as an interesting viewpoint to the delights of the Heathland opposite, a mix of open spaces and a wooded copse.
Internally a good description of this home would be “bright and airy”. It may well have been one of the key designs the architects chose.
On entry there is a lobby with a glazed roof and additional windows. It’s a perfect place for some additional storage or perhaps even a bike. This leads to the living space, which is usefully open plan and l-shaped with a large window that allows natural light to fill its voids from its southerly aspect. It is a beautifully decorated room. This in turn too is open plan to the fitted kitchen complete with an extensive range of storage and worktops. One noteworthy aspect here are the clerestory windows a typical design of this development, which from their perch on the high ceiling brings even more natural light to the room.
Moving to the two bedrooms, both are good sized and enjoy modern neutral décor, with windows overlooking the rear elevations. The larger of the two having some additional recessed storage space.
The property is also fitted with underfloor heating throughout.
Finally there is a bathroom with a three piece suite, another high ceiling and, on the wall just outside some of the original wooden paneling, A true nod to its 60’s style.
The Vanbrugh Park Estate is within the highly sought after Blackheath area of SE3. Open spaces are plentiful Blackheath’s Heath is opposite and Greenwich Park being just a short walk away.
Transport facilities too are in abundance with bus services to neighbouring areas, cycle lanes and routes within easy reach. There are several railway stations within the vicinity with Maze Hill and Westcombe Park being the closest, of which both have frequent services into the Capital and beyond.
Some good schools are located within the vicinity, most notably The Blackheath High School for Girls and The John Roan secondaries'. There are also The Pointer School and The Greenwich Steiner schools to add to an already wide choice.
For shopping, Blackheath Royal Standard is close by. Here there are a good choice of independent shops, cafes, two pubs, a library, plus a Marks and Spencers food hall.
A little farther south across the heath you will find Blackheath Village where there are also a good choice of boutiques, restaurants, bars and cafés.
