Parkgate, Blackheath, London, SE3

Located on arguably Blackheath’s most prestigious road is this impressive five double bedroom detached house dating back to the early 19th Century. The property has an outstanding 140ft x 80ft garden which we believe is the only South facing garden on the road.



The property needs modernisation although does boast many beautiful features including; high ceilings, parquet flooring, sash windows, cornicing, feature radiators and gas fired central heating.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises; a grand 18’8 x 15’7 entrance hall, an elegant dual aspect 22’4 x 18’2 drawing room with feature columns and bow window looking into the garden and a second large reception. There is a kitchen breakfast room, a very large 17’3 x 13’4 study or third reception room, downstairs shower room and a utility room.

Upstairs are five double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes and including two very large bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchenette. There is direct garden access via a wrought iron staircase.

Outside is a very large south facing garden extending to 140ft x 80ft with extensive lawn, mature shrubs, a Victorian greenhouse, a detached garage with off street parking in front and an air raid shelter.

A house of this beauty and age is extremely rare to find and this incredible home has not been on the market since 1982. It offers fantastic potential for enhancement. Early viewing is highly recommended. There is no chain and virtual tours can be seen at Winkworth.co.uk.
