Description
The property known as "Meridian House" takes its name from the fact it sits on the Greenwich Meridian Line and is the first house you arrive at following the Meridian Line due south from Greenwich Park.
The house has been very well maintained by the current vendors and is in excellent decorative order. Features include; high ceilings, period features, marble fireplace, cornicing, sash windows, gas fired central heating, radiator covers and water softener.
Arranged over three floors (plus cellar), the accommodation comprises; an elegant entrance hall with access down to a good size cellar and wine cellar, 11’11 x 10’1 reception room which works perfectly as a snug or study, a superb and huge through reception room (formerly two large reception rooms) with feature windows to the front and rear and a very large kitchen/dining space which is arranged in two rooms. A utility kitchen with large pantry cupboard and a large kitchen diner with Aga. The first floor provides a large master bedroom with beautiful views over the garden and a separate large dressing room (formerly a fifth bedroom) two large double bedrooms to the front and a large family bathroom. The top floor studio/study, which has been sound proofed, offers a bathroom and currently a huge bedroom with feature panelled walls and direct access to a large roof terrace with lovely views. In our opinion this huge room could be reconfigured to provide two large bedrooms if desired. Outside the property is blessed with an outstanding 100ft garden which has timed irrigation and has been immaculately landscaped. The secluded garden boasts a large terrace (accessed from the dining kitchen) with a water feature. There are extensive lawns with flower beds and mature shrubs, with a topiary sculptured hedge and a large 200+ year old wall to the rear. There is also side access from both both the dining kitchen an the back door. The front garden has also been beautifully landscaped and includes a feature wisteria.
This is a wonderful and impressive home which has been in the same family for 45 years and to our knowledge, only three families have lived here since it was built circa 1904. Viewing is a must.

Greenwich maintains a quaint rural village feel and is steeped in history from Roman remains and ancient burial grounds, to the old Royal Naval hospital, the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime museum, and the spectacularly restored Cutty Sark, the last of the great tea clippers. Greenwich's covered market is one of London’s best and attracts people from all over the capital.

The area is minutes from Canary Wharf, the City and central London; just one of the reasons why it's increasingly popular with professionals and commuters. The O2 is also close by.
