Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Blackheath, SE3 :
Forming part of this stunning Victorian residence, this five bedroom home represents a remarkable piece of architecture.
Tucked away on a secluded lane on one of Blackheath's premier roads, the property holds a delightful position in this tranquil setting. The house is steeped in history and was originally built by the distinguished architect John Belcher, as a twenty room mansion, for Richard Winch in 1888. In 1921 the original mansion was distinguished by a remarkable fate, as it was cut in half horizontally. The upper floors were repositioned and are now situated on a separate plot in Kidbrooke Grove, while the lower floors are now three separate dwellings, one of which is being offered for sale.
The property enjoys sole use of this considerable frontage and entry is via the original stone doorway. The masonry surrounds of the doorway and window frames are truly delightful. Throughout this property there are various period features which are quite exceptional. These include a dining room with original oak panelling brightened by a skylight above, ornate cornicing and rare decorative mouldings, open fires and parquet flooring. Offered to the market for the first time in approximately thirty years, this is an opportunity to purchase a wonderful piece of history.
The accommodation on the ground floor briefly comprises; spacious entrance hall, cloakroom, formal dining room, double aspect reception room overlooking the garden and a well appointed kitchen / dining room, complete with gas stove and Miele appliances. Through a panelled hallway, a beautiful wooden staircase with exposed beams above, leads to the first floor where you will find five bedrooms (one en-suite), a study and an impressive tiled bathroom suite with separate shower cubicle.
Outside, the carefully maintained rear garden wraps around two sides of the house and can be accessed through the kitchen / dining room or the main reception room. The south facing garden offers a lovely stone patio area, mature shrubs and a lawn area.
Kidbrooke Grove is conveniently located for access to Blackheath Village and the open expanse of the heath, which is one of the delights 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 Blackheath Preparatory School, Pointers, Blackheath High School and Thomas Tallis. Further afield, Dulwich College run a bus service directly from Blackheath Village and Eltham College is within three miles.
