A unique ‘house-like’ split level flat in Blackheath Conservation Area.

If you're searching for space, character, a sun-trap south-west facing garden, tons of internal and outside storage, and residents parking in Blackheath – this is an absolute must-see!

Who Owns Me & Why Are They Selling?

When moving in 2006, the owners, Don & Mary, were relocating from a large three-bed detached country cottage on the South coast and needed a nice home in a green part of London that didn’t feel like a downgrade. After an extensive search, this beautifully spacious flat stood out as a unique alternative to the much smaller and more expensive local houses - offering room to breathe, unrivalled storage, and a practical layout.

Don & Mary are now looking to relocate again to be closer to family, and are ideally looking to move in a small chain, however might be prepared to move chain free... if the right property doesn’t come up. More from Don & Mary below this basic overview…

Light, Space & Flow

As you'll see on the virtual tour, you initially enter into a generous entrance hall with a practical utility room and the entrance to the garden. On the first floor, the lounge and dining area spans the full depth of the original house, with two large windows flooding it with natural light and a neutral décor – ensuring it’s both bright and airy.

The bedrooms on the floors above are all spacious, including a huge loft room (with eaves storage all the way round), built-in wardrobes in bedrooms 1 & 2, and space for a bunk (as shown) in bedroom 4.

The kitchen and two bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, with top of the range fittings, and make efficient use of the space.

Upgrades & Improvements

Over the years, Don & Mary have invested significantly in enhancing the home’s quality and functionality, including:

- A ‘Pronorm’ custom built German engineered kitchen with top-tier appliances
- Renovated bathrooms including a jack/jill ensuite for bedroom 1 & 2
- Regular full interior and exterior redecorations
- The addition of a summerhouse / garden shed with power and lighting
- New patio railings, ‘sail’ cover and backdoor steps
- Flowerbed landscaping & electrical garden points
- Replastering, retiling, and structural maintenance when required

The boiler was specifically upgraded to tackle London’s hard water, and an advanced water softener was installed—protecting appliances and keeping maintenance hassle-free.

Before retiring, Don was in IT Management and valued high speed internet, so for work-from-home professionals, Virgin Media fibre broadband (up to 500mbps) ensures super-fast connectivity, and the flat has been hardwired for internet in key rooms - so you’ll never need to struggle with WiFi black spots.

Unbeatable Connectivity & Location

Living on the edge of the Blackheath conservation area means you’re just a 500 metre walk to Lewisham Station (Zone 2), offering:

Fast trains to London Bridge (10 mins), Cannon Street (16 mins) & Charing Cross (20 mins)
DLR straight to Canary Wharf (20 mins) & Bank (21 mins)
plus quick access to the M25 and key routes across London

For socialising, bustling Blackheath Village is an easy (1700m) walk, with boutique cafés, independent shops, and fantastic pubs and restaurants. It’s also a short stroll (1500m) from Greenwich Park, offering stunning views from the Royal Observatory, tranquil green spaces and one of the largest children’s play areas in all of London.

Community & Lifestyle

This isn’t just a place to live – it’s a well-established home and community. The neighbours are all friendly, sociable, and welcoming, with a strong community atmosphere. The ground floor neighbour has moved abroad so is currently letting to a lovely young family, and there is even a gate to the next door garden for neighbourly garden parties (if desired).

A Smarter Investment

Owning a share of the freehold means:
- No ground rent
- No lease extension worries
- 50/50 control over building management and lease changes

With all major work completed and meticulous upkeep by the joint freehold owners, this is a truly turn-key home - ready for you to move in and start enjoying!

More info, but this time from Don & Mary (the owners) directly:

What features of this property appealed to you when you were buying?

There were multiple reasons why this was so appealing to us. Location was important as Blackheath is lovely to walk around, with great transport links, and we travel to see family regularly.

The flat itself is also spacious and has ample storage. The layout was really attractive to us, as we could see how liveable it was. For example, we had 6 adults living here at one time (while our two sons and their partners were saving for house deposits), and only a short while ago we had our son, his wife, and two children living here for a whole 8 months!

Since moving in, what are your favourite local amenities?

The flat is in a great location for amenities.

Blackheath village is a short walk away, which has a lot of nice pubs and cafes that we've frequented while living here. If you want good beer, we suggest The Princess of Wales but most of the pubs are nice. Our favourite cafes are Montpelier and Madeleine’s in Blackheath, which are both popular.

In terms of restaurants, we tend to eat in Canary Wharf (20-minutes on the train) Amerigo Vespucci is lovely. Blackheath and Greenwich have lots of good places to eat. Payiz is a Turkish place at the bottom of the hill which is a good local meal.

There’s a Tesco (400m walk) with a good car park as well. If you want more options, a 10-minute walk into Lewisham Centre has Sainsbury’s, M&S, and Asda. Plus an Aldi and a Lidl a little further on.

As we like a walk, we often wander over to Greenwich Park that’s just across the Heath. It has a children’s playground, boating lake, the Observatory and Prime Meridian, a lovely rose garden, flower gardens, the deer park, friendly squirrels, and plenty of open space to run/walk/picnic. We loved going here with the grandchildren, we’ll certainly miss it.

What are the best transport links locally and how long does it take to get to key landmarks?

As we mentioned above, the transport links are great. The 380 bus stop which goes to Lewisham or Blackheath is at the end of the road. The 129/199 bus stop (Lewisham or Greenwich and beyond) is just 5 minutes away.

Lewisham station is 500m down the hill, and from there it takes about 10 minutes on the train to get into London Bridge. Lewisham also has the DLR which we've found really useful.

How are your neighbours?

The owners of the flat downstairs are currently living in LA California, so it is rented out on a long-term lease to a professional family. They are very nice and have been excellent neighbours!

Next door are another retired couple who are good friends. Across the road are several other neighbours who have become friends. Between us we enjoy a lovely social environment - they will be missed!

We do hope all this information helps.
