OWNER QUOTE: “The house is in such a perfect location. We’re moments away from Greenwich Park, a short walk to Blackheath village and can be in Central London within half an hour.”

Make your way through the gated entrance following the sandstone path to discover, this thoughtfully designed front garden, obscured from the road by a row of beautiful silver birch trees and manicured pittosporum hedging, hiding a bespoke refuse cupboard and secure bike storage.

A Warm Welcome

Handsome and welcoming, open the double fronted door with glazed surround, to reveal a light and bright hallway.

Ahead, an impressive sweeping staircase with oak banister and feature lighting, invites you to the upper floors, but first, discover the first of two spacious reception rooms.

Light-Filled Living

The lofty ceilings adorned with decorative original coving create a light and airy ambiance that is a theme throughout the home. The bright, creamy white walls reflect the natural light pouring in from the large windows with their original wooden shutters, and along with the beautiful parquet walnut flooring that extends throughout, it is truly a sublime space in which to relax and unwind.

Remote control electric blinds provide privacy, and the Dru gas fire sits comfortably in the feature fireplace, ready to be turned on in cooler evenings.

OWNER QUOTE: “In the winter with the fire on, it’s so cosy in there, we love to retreat to this room in the evening. It’s just got a lovely calm atmosphere.”

Flow through the Crittall sliding doors into the second reception room, where the theme of light and space continues. With ample room for seating, and hard-wired ceiling mounted speakers for seamless music streaming, entertaining is effortless in this adaptable space.

In summer, throw open the French doors to the terrace, to invite the outdoors in. Gather friends and family for impromptu get-togethers, where the boundaries of inside and out are blurred.

When the night air turns crisp, curl up on the sofa next to the crackling log burner, favourite book in hand, ready to escape into its pages.
