Tranquil, tree-lined Hervey Road is one of Blackheath’s under-the-radar gems, within walking distance of the green expanses of Blackheath Common and Greenwich Park and close to the cafes, restaurants and shops in Blackheath Village.

Leading directly from Shooters Hill Road, Hervey Road also stands out for its large, detached houses whose ample square footage offers good value for the local area. If you are keen to avoid basement kitchens and endless flights of stairs, too, then No. 62, an Edwardian house built between 1900-1929, fits the bill perfectly as a two-storey detached house that provides light-filled, entirely above-ground space and big front and back gardens ideal for family living.

The luxury of space

At 243m3 (2,620 sq ft), this substantial five-bedroom house with an attached garage is one of the largest in Hervey Road and has a natural flow to its rooms. With that kind of square footage at your fingertips, this is a property you can move straight into without having to think about modernising or extending. There is also scope too to turn this into a high-end forever home.

You feel a sense of space throughout, inside and out, from the moment you enter the front gate. A generously-sized front garden with paving and grass leads to the double-fronted property whose façade features twin bay windows on each floor and black and white gable detail on its steep pitched roof.

This property also has what many London houses lack – a spacious entrance hall, with plenty of room to leave the bags or buggy when you arrive home, and a wide staircase and first floor landing that provide plenty of room to manoeuvre furniture and breathe.

Four rooms lead directly off the entrance hall, which has a diamond-pattern herringbone wooden floor. At 22-feet in length, the main reception room – which, like many rooms throughout the house, has wooden floors, original fireplaces and period detailing on the walls and ceilings – could be left as one, impressive open-plan space that opens up into the light, bright conservatory. Or it could be zoned to create distinct areas for TV watching, reading or informal dining.

Elsewhere on the ground floor are two further potential receptions rooms – currently a dining room and an entertainment room – that give you the flexibility to use in any number of ways, including perhaps a home office, extra bedrooms or even opening up the existing kitchen to provide a huge family cooking, dining and living space.

The rear garden also offers plenty of scope and space to landscape according to your tastes. With a 160ft by 74ft lawn, you don’t have to choose between play space or feature planting. You can have plenty of both.

Keeping it local

Blackheath is one of South East London’s most sought-after villages due to its combination of green, open spaces, substantial family homes, good schools and easy commutability to Canary Wharf and central London.
You needn’t even walk as far as Blackheath Common or Greenwich Park, though, when you want to let off steam at weekends. Within a three minute walk from this house is Hervey Road Sports Field, which is open to the public and includes a children’s playground, a multi-use games area, a pavilion and large sports field where the kids can let off steam at weekends.

You are spoilt for choice, in fact, for green spaces and sports activities close to home, including Hornfair Park with its heated, outdoor Charlton Lido, gym and BMX track, Charlton Park, which hosts a free Saturday morning ParkRun, Sutcliffe Park, home to an athletics track and sports centre, and 77 hectares of historic woodland at Oxleas Woods on Shooters Hill.

The local area caters to all your shopping needs too on nearby Old Dover Road, which has built a reputation for its popular independent shops such as GG Sparkes Traditional Butcher’s and The Voewood boutique and gift shop, as well as having several cafes and two pubs (the historic Royal Standard and family-friendly Green Goddess craft brewery), a Marks & Spencer Simply Food and a public library. If you want a DIY shop, hairdressers, bike shop or pet shop, these are all here too.

Schools

Families gravitate to Blackheath for the wide range of nurseries and schools – state and private – that will see their children happily through their education from 3-18. Within walking distance from Hervey Road are primary schools including Invicta and Cherry Orchard, Thomas Tallis School and Leigh Academy secondary schools, and private schools such as Pointers, Blackheath Prep and Blackheath High.

Transport links

The nearest train stations are Westcombe Park and Blackheath, both served by several bus routes. The closest Tube station is North Greenwich, accessible by various buses from Blackheath Standard. The Elizabeth Line station in Woolwich – also easily reached by bus – opens up further travel possibilities for those who want a quick route into the City, West End or beyond.

Hervey Road is also a short distance from the A2, handy for quick getaways out of London to Kent and the coast or west into central London. To check broadband and mobile phone coverage please visit Ofcom here ofcom.org.uk/phones-telecoms-and-internet/advice-for-consumers/advice/ofcom-checker

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 19, 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

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on November 24, 2016 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
