Detached house for sale in London SE13, 5 Bedroom

A beautiful 3400 sq ft detached, double-fronted architect designed home between Blackheath and Lewisham in the Blackheath Conversation Area.

Completely renovated and extended at the rear and above by the current owners over the last decade, this vast five bedroom home is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Set back from the road, there is off street parking for multiple vehicles. You enter into a voluminous hallway with high ceilings and a striking checkered tiled floor. Leading from the hallway, on the ground floor there is an abundance of living space which could be configured as required. At present the space is used as a large living room, a smaller living room, gym, study, playroom, a shower room and an impressive kitchen/family room. New solid oak flooring runs throughout the property (with the exception of bathrooms, kitchen and stairs) and the house has been recently painted and redecorated. You can see that every detail has been finished to an exceptionally high standard. An original period fire surrounds have been renovated, and fitted with gas fires by local firm, Westcombes Fireplaces. The kitchen/family room is quite awe-inspiring with four sets of floor to ceiling French doors leading to the decked terrace and onto the rear garden; more light floods in from the large skylight above the dining area; the entire space has travertine tiled flooring; in addition to under-floor gas heating, there is an attractive wood burning stove; the stylish contemporary kitchen is all stainless steel, by Cavendish; the kitchen leads directly into a modern utility room.

There is a shower room and WC on the ground floor, and upstairs there is a family bathroom and two en-suites for the master bedroom and second bedroom, all sourced locally from H.E. Olby. There are attractive French doors with Juliet balconies off the master bedroom and en-suite, as well as the second bedroom, which all look out onto a living Alpine Sedum roof, which incidentally does not require any watering or care. Two further double bedrooms complete this floor.

The rear garden, which spans the width of the house, is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees including a Mulberry, a Gingko Biloba, as well as Apple, Pear and Holm Oaks. The front garden is gated and shielded by attractive hedging.

Belmont Grove is a popular and desirable location, with ready access to both Blackheath Village and the vibrant, ever changing landscape, of Lewisham town centre. Blackheath Village provides an array of shops, bars and restaurants with the glorious open heath beyond. For transport, Lewisham Station offers regular services (via br / DLR and proposed Bakerloo line extension) into Canary Wharf, Bank, London Bridge, Charing Cross, Cannon St and London Victoria, among others.
