Highmore Road, Blackheath, London, SE3

A substantial and characterful five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached home, built in 1912 and set on one of Blackheath’s most desirable roads just moments from Greenwich Park and offered to the market chain free.

This elegant home spans 2,277 sq ft of generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, retaining many original period features and offering excellent scope for modernisation and extension (STPP).

The ground floor opens into a striking reception hall with original detailing, solid wood flooring and bespoke shelving. To the front is a bright reception room with bay window and period fireplace, while to the rear is a second, equally charming reception room overlooking the garden. A separate WC and a large kitchen/breakfast room complete the ground floor. The kitchen is functional but dated, and enjoys direct access via French doors onto a beautifully mature 75ft garden, laid to lawn with shrubs, trees, and a garden shed.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms including a generous master along with a family bathroom. The top floor provides a large fifth double bedroom with eaves storage and an additional shower room, perfect as a guest suite or teenager’s retreat. We believe there is potential for off-street parking subject to approval for a dropped kerb.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome Edwardian home full of character, with wonderful proportions, a generous garden, and superb potential to create a truly exceptional family home. There is no chain.

The property is just 100 metres from Greenwich Park and the edge of the Heath, an outstanding location to enjoy local amenities in almost every direction. Just 0.7 miles south, Blackheath Village offers a charming selection of boutique shops, bars, and restaurants, bringing the spirit of village life into London. Just 0.5 miles to the northwest is the historic Greenwich town centre, a quaint area steeped in history with the Royal Naval Hospital, Royal Observatory, National Maritime Museum, and the beautifully restored Cutty Sark. The famous Greenwich Market is a popular destination for visitors from across the capital. Meanwhile, 0.45 miles to the east is Blackheath Standard, home to daily conveniences like M&S Food Hall. With excellent transport links, the O2 Arena is close by, along with the DLR, bus services, riverboat, foot tunnel, and cable car. Canary Wharf, the City, and central London are all just minutes away via the Jubilee Line at North Greenwich (1.6 miles), making the area a favourite for professionals and commuters.

Maze Hill Station is just 0.25 miles away, offering regular trains to central London in just 15 minutes, with the DLR also accessible from nearby Greenwich.

Families will appreciate the proximity of several sought-after schools, including Sherington, Invicta, and Halstow primary schools, as well as independent institutions like Blackheath Preparatory School, The Pointer School, and Blackheath High School.
