7 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Set in this prestigious location on the edge of the heath and just a short walk to Blackheath Village and Greenwich Park, is this substantial four storey semi-detached early Victorian house spanning 3,832 sq.ft with a large south facing garden.

In 1856 the architect John Whichcord Jnr designed a series of five huge semi-detached villas called Aberdeen Terrace, on the old site of the gardens of The Pagoda, purchased by the property developer, Lewis Glenton. As Neil Rhind, Blackheath's local historian put it, 'Grand houses for grand people, who would pay for fine prospects across the Heath to the north and the Kentish hills to the south'. The views from the house today are as glorious as ever.

Entering through a welcoming side porch, you are greeted by an elegant central hallway that connects the main living spaces. The large front-facing kitchen, featuring expansive sash windows with captivating heath views, boasts a bespoke shaker-style design with a grand reception room across the hall, where a feature fireplace and bespoke built-in bookcases add character and warmth. The room is further enhanced by a stunning bay window that frames views over the extensive rear garden. The upper floors offer six generously sized bedrooms, with the views over the heath becoming more impressive as you ascend. Two bathrooms serve these floors, providing both functionality and comfort. On the lower ground floor, a thoughtfully designed one-bedroom flat, which remains connected to the main house but also has its own private entrance, offers flexible living or additional rental potential.
The rear garden, a true oasis, stretches over 75 feet and enjoys a perfect south-facing aspect. A large patio leads onto a beautifully maintained lawn, surrounded by mature trees and planting, providing both privacy and tranquillity.

This exceptional home, brimming with character and period features, offers a unique opportunity to live in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. Viewing is highly recommended. Video and virtual tours can be seen at Winkworth.co.uk
