Cathay House – A Grand Victorian Masterpiece.
An absolute gem of a property, Cathay House is a distinguished detached Victorian residence that epitomizes grandeur and class. With a rich history likely rooted in the Cathay Pacific timber trade, this remarkable home has been beautifully preserved and underwent a complete renovation in 2007, seamlessly blending period elegance with modern refinement.
Occupying one of the most generous plots on Court Road—arguably in all of Eltham—Cathay House commands attention with its stunning façade, proudly standing across four floors. The property extends to approximately 9,588 square feet (including the coach house), offering an extraordinary amount of living space. The main house boasts six expansive double bedrooms, ten reception rooms, and seven bathrooms, each exuding timeless character and charm. The grand entrance hall, adorned with exquisite original marble columns and striking tiled flooring, sets the tone for the sheer elegance found throughout.
Adding to its exceptional appeal, a detached coach house provides a wealth of opportunity. With modest investment, it could serve as a separate dwelling, perfect for multi-generational living or rental income. Alternatively, with precedent already set on the road, the land could be divided to accommodate a smaller home, subject to the usual planning consents.
A real family home, there is ample scope to create rooms that offer the perfect functions with a games room complete with Edwardian snooker table, bespoke bar room which plays host to numerous social gatherings or even a room that once served as the family cinema room.
Beyond the residence itself, the grounds are nothing short of breathtaking. A vast, beautifully maintained garden measuring approximately 173 x 114 meters extends towards the historic backdrop of Eltham Palace’s grounds, offering uninterrupted views of lush greenery and grazing horses. The setting evokes the tranquillity of the English countryside, all while being within easy reach of central London.
A true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Cathay House is an unparalleled blend of history, luxury, and potential. A dream home in every sense. Call jdm Eltham on[use Contact Agent Button] to arrange an inspection of this superb property.
