Pond Road, Blackheath, London, SE3

An impressive and extremely rare Grade II listed detached period house set on one of Blackheath's most prestigious private roads

This is a magnificent large house (built circa 1840), providing eight bedrooms and four reception rooms. It has been in the ownership of a well-known Blackheath family since 1970, when extensive works of restoration were done. The floor area is arranged over four floors and has internal living space spanning over 3,900 sq.ft/363 sq.m.

Externally, the house is in excellent condition, having been redecorated in 2016. Internally, there is a need for modernisation, but the house provides many attractive period features, such as high ceilings, fireplaces, ornate cornicing, sash windows and shutters.

On the ground floor, there is a grand, but welcoming, entrance hall and two elegant reception rooms facing towards the street and the garden. One of these is presently used as a library.

Going downstairs, there is a lavatory and cloakroom on a mezzanine floor facing the garden and then, at the lower level, there is a large, but dated, kitchen, a dining room, a good sized TV room, another lavatory and a laundry/shower room.

Upstairs, there is a striking window overlooking the garden on the first and second floors, allowing light to flood into the house. On each of these upper floors there are four large bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, there is a walled garden which has an extensive and well kept lawn with mature shrubs. There is also a driveway in front of the house with space for several cars, together with a double garage.

Viewing is essential to appreciate all the qualities of this remarkable family house.
