Deceptively Spacious & Utterly Gorgeous, This Recently Renovated Span House Could Be Your Dream Family Home. It overlooks a leafy green in the prestigious, gated Cator Estate, with a superb, sociable rear extension and wraparound private gardens. 

This beautifully renovated three bedroom Span House on Blackheath’s prestigious Cator Estate gives you a unique chance to own a piece of 20th century architectural history, which blends the best of modern design with the unique charm of this iconic 1980’s style. 

Span Houses, known for their distinctive modernist design and open-plan layouts, were a popular housing style in late 50’s and 60’s. Designed by Eric Lyons, they are characterised by their large windows, flat roofs and an emphasis on sociable, community living.  

Overlooking the leafy Pond Row green, this three bedroom family home has a superb rear extension, wraparound private gardens, and off-street parking.

The heart of this sociable family home is the stunning, open-plan kitchen and living area.  

The 2022 rear extension has added a bright and airy space which looks out to the south west facing back garden, it’s perfect for entertaining friends or simply relaxing with family.  

Imagine cooking up a family meal in the modern kitchen, complete with high-end appliances, a filtered water tap and sleek white stone worktops, while the children play outside in the garden...  

The banquette seating area in the kitchen offers a cosy spot for casual meals or catching up with friends and the spacious living area provides ample room for larger gatherings. 

Underfloor heating in the kitchen and living room ensures warmth and comfort all year round - and adds to the minimalist design by allowing you to dispense with the radiators.

There’s a stylish shower room on the ground floor and a 3rd bedroom / study which will be an inspiring place to work - looking out over the front garden towards the protected green.

The journey upstairs is worthy of a quick note - the beautiful stairs were handmade using American oak, matching the doors and flooring throughout. The stairs don’t just look great - they’re practical too.The cupboards underneath them are home to a Vaillant combi boiler (installed in 2022), a water softener and a silent eco-rated washing machine.

Once you are upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms with tailor-made built-in wardrobes, and the luxurious family bathroom. 

Outside, the wraparound gardens provide a place for the kids to play or to entertain friends and family.

Being south west facing ensures plenty of sunshine throughout the day, while the decked area offers a peaceful and private spot for al fresco dining.  

The pond, with its flowering plants, attracts a variety of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, newts and sticklebacks - it’s a little natural haven in the heart of Blackheath.  

The outbuilding at the end of the garden has planning permission to be converted into a garden office or gym. It was originally built as a garage but with off-street parking to the side of the property you may as well make the most of the space.

Located on the private and gated Cator Estate, residents enjoy a peaceful and secure environment, away from rush hour rat runs.

Beyond the gates of the Cator Estate, you'll find the charming Blackheath Village just a 7 minute walk away.  

Here, you can explore a delightful choice of independent shops, bakeries, pubs and restaurants.  

Blackheath station offers quick and easy access to central London, with trains to London Bridge taking just 12 - 14 minutes.  

Local bus routes provide convenient connections to Greenwich, North Greenwich, and Lewisham Hospital and there’s a new free “Superloop” service to Canary Wharf starting in April.

Families will be delighted by the selection of outstanding local schools, including the highly regarded “Outstanding” LEYF Conservatoire Nursery & Pre-School which is only a 10 minute walk away. 

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to green space too, with the Green right opposite and both Greenwich Park and the Heath itself within easy reach.
