Dartmouth Row, Blackheath SE10

"Guide Price £2,750,000 - £3,000,000"

An elegant and rarely available Grade II listed Georgian family home in need of internal modernisation and boasting a magnificent 240 feet west-facing landscaped and mature garden. This distinguished residence combines architectural heritage with unrivalled potential and sits proudly on one of the most coveted roads in Blackheath and Greenwich.

Cherished by the same family for nearly 70 years and sensitively restored externally in 2019, the house retains a wealth of original features such as fireplaces throughout, floorboards, and paneling. The property was home to Neil Macfadyen, a highly esteemed local architect and the longest-serving member of the Blackheath Society, who was responsible for the conservation of many significant buildings, including Cathedrals, Oxford Colleges, and over sixty notable churches.

The house is set back from the road and entered via a gated front garden. As you enter, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway that leads to a reception room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a cloakroom. The current kitchen, positioned at the front with views across the Heath, could be reinstated to its original location at the rear, opening directly onto the garden. A beautifully panelled drawing room at the front completes this floor.

The first floor comprises a generous dual-aspect bedroom at the front overlooking Dartmouth Grove that could also be used as a second drawing room, two further double bedrooms with stunning views over the garden, a cosy single bedroom, a large family bathroom, and a separate WC with shower.

The top floor, once arranged as a self-contained flat, offers three further double bedrooms with stunning views of the London Skyline at the back, a bathroom, a utility room, and an additional WC.

The 250ft west-facing garden is a true centrepiece: a sequence of sweeping lawns, fountains, ponds, and a stream leading to a swimming pool and orchard. At its far end sits a double garage currently used as storage with direct access to Morden Lane, with great potential.

A large basement accessed via the entrance hallway currently offers ample storage space and has conversion potential.

This rare early Georgian house, which blends historical significance with such great potential to modernise, offers an unparalleled living experience, and presents a once in a generation opportunity to purchase such a unique and tranquil home.

This extraordinary property occupies the prime position of Dartmouth Row, one of Blackheath and Greenwich’s premier streets, and faces straight down through the trees of Dartmouth Grove to the heath beyond. Surrounded by other fine period properties, it resides on a picturesque and peaceful road. Within a short walk lies the magnificent Royal Greenwich Park, while the vibrant heart of Blackheath Village and Greenwich Village can be reached in just ten minutes. Nearby Blackheath, Greenwich, and Lewisham stations provide swift access to London Bridge in under 10 minutes, with regular trains running to Victoria and Charing Cross. Canary Wharf is conveniently reachable in 15 minutes via the DLR, and the Jubilee Line can be accessed at North Greenwich.
