Set on one of the most prestigious roads in Shooters Hill, SE18, this outstanding five-bedroom family home is arguably one of the finest properties currently available in the area. Positioned at the apex of the hill in Cleanthus Road and backing directly onto the picturesque Green Flag Eaglesfield Park, this remarkable residence has been the subject of an extensive refurbishment and enlargement programme, creating a show-stopping home that blends elegant period character with flawless modern style.
Spanning three meticulously designed floors, the accommodation is perfect for upsizers and large families seeking generous living space and exceptional quality. From the moment you step inside, the sense of light, scale and finish is immediately apparent. A central spiral staircase serves all levels, adding architectural drama while enhancing the home's flow and cohesion. On the ground floor, a beautifully appointed lounge and a separate dining room offer flexible formal and informal living, while the spectacular kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home. Fitted with high-spec finishes and bi-fold doors that open out to the landscaped gardens, it's an ideal space for family life and entertaining alike. A ground floor cloakroom adds further practicality.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three spacious bedrooms, including a breathtaking principal suite. This room boasts a freestanding copper bath, dual-aspect windows, and French doors that open onto a private balcony with uninterrupted views across Eaglesfield Park and beyond, truly a retreat to savour. The two additional bedrooms on this floor also enjoy lovely parkland outlooks. A stylish family bathroom completes the level.
The top floor features two further generously sized dual-aspect bedrooms, both with panoramic park views and front-facing skylights that frame stunning scenes of the iconic London skyline. A contemporary bathroom also serves this level, providing flexible living options for growing families or guests.
Externally, the property continues to impress with freshly landscaped side and rear gardens that offer privacy, tranquillity, and the perfect setting for summer gatherings. Gated parking to the front adds security and convenience, complementing the home’s overall sense of exclusivity and refinement.
Finished in soft modern neutrals that highlight the period character of the building, this is a truly special residence. Cleanthus Road is not only known for its elevated setting but also for its close proximity to outstanding open spaces such as Oxleas Woods, Shrewsbury Park, and the historic Severndroog Castle.
