An exquisite and extremely rare-to-market Grade II listed early-to-mid 18th-century home, offering seven bedrooms, three reception rooms, and an outstanding 250ft landscaped garden. This remarkable property is situated on one of the most prestigious and sought-after roads in Blackheath and Greenwich.
Having been in the same family for nearly 70 years, this home has been meticulously maintained, and underwent an external overhaul in 2018/19. While it would benefit from modernisation, it retains an abundance of original character.
This property was home to Neil Macfadyen, a highly esteemed local architect and the longest-serving member of the Blackheath Society, who was responsible for the conservation of many significant buildings including Cathedrals, Oxford Colleges and over sixty notable churches.
Spanning three floors, on the Ground floor there is a spacious entrance hallway with beautiful original floorboards, generous coat and additional cupboards, a cloakroom, access down to a large basement, and a step down to the dining room, again with extensive built-in storage, and its original parquet floor. The kitchen, which at present looks across Dartmouth Row out to the Heath, could easily be relocated to its original position at the back of the house overlooking the garden- taking advantage of what is presently a light filled garden room, again with parquet flooring throughout. The drawing room features period panelling and a fireplace, and again faces straight down Dartmouth Grove.
The First floor comprises a large dual-aspect bedroom, along with two further double bedrooms to the rear overlooking the garden, a small single bedroom with plenty of built in storage, and a very large family bathroom. There is a separate WC with shower.
The Second floor has until now been in part a separate flat with stunning views down over beautiful local gardens, and great views North West to the city of London. This floor looks out to Blackheath at the front. On this top floor there are 3 generous bedrooms and a small bathroom (which could be conveniently expanded into the kitchenette) in addition there is a WC.
The windows are original sash in keeping with the period of this property, high corniced ceilings with original fireplaces, and ample bespoke storage exist throughout.
Outside, the 250ft mature landscaped garden is a standout feature, with expansive lawns past fountains, ponds and a stream down to a swimming pool, and beyond to a pretty orchard. At the foot of the garden there is a double garage with access to Morden Lane.
This is a truly incredible home that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Video tours are available at Winkworth.co.uk.
