4 bed detached house for sale

Tranquil Vale, London SE3

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Blackheath’s most attractive and distinctive landmark properties, and is genuinely one not to be missed.

Occupying a commanding position at the top of Blackheath Village and enjoying unrivalled views across the open Heath towards All Saints Church, this is a supremely handsome and exceptionally spacious, double-fronted Victorian family house. The property has been lovingly, sympathetically and tastefully modernised in recent years to an exceptionally high standard throughout.

Approached through a wrought iron gate, a beautifully tiled pathway leads to steps rising to the original, ornate stained and leaded entrance door. Internally, the property retains a wealth of original features, including impressive cornice work, period fireplaces and a beautifully detailed staircase and landing.

The generous and elegant accommodation is arranged over four floors. The first floor comprises three bright double bedrooms, two of which enjoy Heath views, together with two bathrooms, both recently remodelled. One is a tasteful en-suite shower room, while the other is a very generous four-piece family bathroom featuring a huge walk-in shower. The top floor provides an enormous double-aspect room, currently used as an impressive reception/family room, but which could equally offer the potential to divide the space and create two further large double bedrooms if required.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to a spacious study with built-in bookshelving and, once again, superb views towards All Saints Church. Opposite, the magnificent main double-aspect reception room features wide bi-fold doors opening directly onto the beautifully landscaped garden, while the three-quarter-height windows to the front provide one of the finest views in Blackheath Village. This grand room retains some wonderful period features, including a stunning period fireplace and exceptionally high ceilings.

The garden floor offers a well-designed, newly fitted bespoke kitchen and an intimate, homely dining area with generous storage, access to a wine store, as well as separate access via steps to the ground floor at the front.

Outside, the beautifully maintained, sunny and well-tended rear garden provides ample space for outdoor dining on a generous terrace, accessed directly from the reception room. A very useful garden room/store provides easily accessible garden storage and utility space.

The main garden is Japanese-style, with attractive mature flower and tree borders, and also benefits from direct rear access onto Camden Row via a small path.

As one would expect, Blackheath offers an excellent selection of impressive family homes, but very few provide this exceptional combination of incredible views and the convenience of being so close to the heart of The Village.
