Five double bedrooms across multiple floors
Set on a sought-after road in Blackheath, this substantial Victorian semi delivers generous family accommodation across four floors, approaching 2,597 sq ft. High ceilings, original cornices, a large bay reception and parquet/herringbone flooring preserve period character while large windows bring plenty of light. A sizable rear garden and an impressive self-contained annexe provide versatile living or rental potential.
Practical benefits include a private driveway, a single-bay garage/coach house, and excellent local connections — Maze Hill station and the DLR give straightforward commutes to central London, and Greenwich Park and Westcombe Woods are within easy reach. Nearby schools range from well-regarded state primaries to independent secondaries, making this a strong family location.
Planning permission to extend was previously secured (pre-COVID) but will need refreshing before works start. The property sits on solid brick walls assumed without added insulation and has double glazing installed before 2002 — both worth considering if improving thermal performance. Council Tax is high and the local crime rate is above average; these are material factors for budgeting and security planning.
Overall this is a rare, adaptable period house with room to grow for a growing family or landlord seeking an income stream from the annexe. Buyers should factor refurbishment, updating of services and refreshing the extant planning consent into costs before proceeding.
