The house is the former home of Sir Ernest Shackleton, where he wrote his highly acclaimed Heart of the Antarctic.

It stands in an unusually large plot and has extensive, well balanced accommodation over four floors, ideal for a large family and staff.

The ground floor reception space is exceptional with a large formal drawing room to the front of the property, a generous kitchen / breakfast / family room to the rear along with further reception space, such as a dining room and snug.

The lower ground floor has unusually high ceilings and comprises a large room to the rear with access to the garden. There is also a good sized bedroom suite at this level, previously used as staff accommodation, which is conveniently close to the utility and service kitchen area. Additionally there is a wine cellar.

The property is very unusual in having three entrances to the front and these are also well served by three separate staircases; ideal for a large family.

The main entrance leads on to the formal reception hall and up to the first floor: To the front of the house is a superb double bedroom suite and to the rear is the sumptuous principal bedroom, affording a large dressing room and beautifully appointed bathroom suite; there is also a pretty terrace, giving wonderful views over the garden, swimming pool and Putney Heath beyond, whilst also affording a high degree of seclusion and privacy.

To the left on entry is a large integral garage and covered passage giving independent, secure access for gardeners and the like.

The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and the swimming pool is well located to the rear of the plot and this has an impressive, brick built pool house and also a separate plant room; there is also an electric secure cover to the pool, for peace of mind and ease of maintenance.

The house is set well back from the road and the imposing carriage driveway affords ample off-street parking.


Heathview Gardens is ideally located for the open expanses of Putney Heath, numerous transport links and is also perfectly placed for a wide range of excellent schools.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
