An imposing Grade II listed detached family home occupying an exceptional plot on Vanbrugh Terrace, recently restored and extended to provide nearly 6,900 sqft of versatile accommodation across four floors. The house blends restored period detail — sash windows, ornate coving, Edgar Phillips stained glass, reclaimed French oak floors and marble fireplaces — with high-spec modern systems including underfloor heating, Crestron automation and a bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen. The landscaped front and rear gardens, designed by Terry Williams, and an impressive outbuilding (with services) deliver rare ancillary potential for guest, office or leisure use (subject to planning).
This is a substantial family proposition: six double bedrooms plus further bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, a large lower-ground kitchen/dining hub, extensive storage and a fully boarded loft with prewiring for solar. Practical features include off-street parking behind electronically operated gates, rain‑bird irrigation, prewired solar and cellar/wine storage. The property sits on the northern flank of the Heath with easy walking access to Blackheath Village, good rail links and several well-regarded schools, making it well suited to a family seeking space, privacy and convenience.
Material considerations are clear and factual. Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate planning and maintenance; the solid brick walls (original build) are assumed to lack cavity insulation and double glazing dates from before 2002. Council tax is described as very expensive. Although recently renovated to a high standard, future owners should budget for listed‑building ongoing maintenance and for any permissions required to adapt outbuildings or extend further.
