West Grove, West Greenwich SE10

"Guide Price £4,500,000 - £4,750,000"

Positioned on one of West Greenwich’s most coveted roads and enjoying far-reaching views across Blackheath and Canary Wharf, this exceptional five-storey family home has been redesigned to the highest specifications and boasts a wealth of period features, beautifully blending elegant Victorian grandeur with contemporary interiors and modern comfort.

A landscaped front garden sits privately behind the gated entrance, with a sandstone pathway bordered by silver birch trees and manicured pittosporum hedging. Concealed within the design are bespoke refuse and cycle storage solutions, enhancing the sense of order and calm. A glazed balustrade allows light to filter down to a secluded lower terrace — a tranquil spot for morning coffee overlooking the mature planting.

A double front door with glazed surround opens into a bright and impressive entrance hallway. Handmade floor tiles transition seamlessly to walnut parquet, complemented by an elegant oak-handrail staircase which anchors the space and sets the tone for the refined interiors beyond.

To the front, the first of two reception rooms enjoys lofty ceilings with intricate cornicing, large sash windows with shutters, remote-controlled blinds, and a contemporary Dru gas fire set within a feature fireplace. Crittall-style glazed doors lead through to a second reception space — an adaptable room perfect for entertaining, with integrated ceiling speakers, a log burner, and sublime French doors opening to a generous upper terrace that leads to the lower garden via a spiral staircase — a secluded oasis with lawn, architectural planting and beautifully considered lighting. A stylish cloakroom, finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling, an Agape freestanding basin and WC, completes this level.

The lower level has been thoughtfully designed for modern living, with limestone flooring and underfloor heating throughout. A spacious cloakroom with panelled storage, a dedicated pantry and a fully fitted utility room (with water softener, sink and extensive cabinetry) provide excellent practical capacity for daily life.

The remainder of the floor opens into a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — the social heart of the home. The handcrafted Plain English kitchen features abundant storage, a Basalt island with oak breakfast bar and showcases a professional Lacanche range with multiple ovens, induction zones and gas burners. Appliances include a Gaggenau fridge-freezer with ice maker and a concealed Zip boiling/chilled water tap.

A dining area with bespoke banquet seating sits beneath designer lighting by John Cullen, with a log burner offering warmth and ambience. Beyond, full-height Crittall-style doors frame views of the garden and fill the living area with natural light, where bespoke oak media cabinetry creates an inviting zone for relaxing or family evenings. A versatile room with garden access is positioned to one side — ideal as a playroom, study, library or additional reception space.

The meticulously landscaped and secluded garden is a true oasis of tranquillity. It boasts an outdoor Woo kitchen with a Belfast sink and cold-water supply, a Big Green Egg barbecue and a Renson pergola with built-in blinds, gas heaters and automatic rain sensors, creating an all-season outdoor entertaining environment. Automated irrigation ensures effortless maintenance.

Both the front and rear gardens were designed by award-winning Mandy Buckland of Greencube Garden Design, including the BALI national landscape award-winning rear garden (2018).

At the half-landing, a dedicated study benefits from integrated CAT5 cabling, Ruckus wireless routing and high-speed connectivity, ensuring seamless home working.

The principal suite occupies a prominent position to the rear of the house, with oak flooring and far-reaching views through twin sash windows. A dressing area with bespoke full-height cabinetry provides excellent wardrobe storage. The luxurious en-suite bathroom features dual basins, a freestanding stone bath, walk-in shower, underfloor heating and three sash windows allowing natural light to fill the space. A connecting room, currently used as a laundry room but previously a nursery, offers flexibility for future needs.

The second floor hosts two generous double bedrooms, each designed with bespoke plywood wardrobes, integrated desks and shelving. Both rooms enjoy breathtaking views — the rear bedroom taking in Canary Wharf and the front overlooking the Heath. A family bathroom serves the floor, complete with a deep tub, walk-in shower, heated flooring, an arched sash window and a contemporary concrete basin.

At the top of the house, two further bright double bedrooms feature white oak herringbone flooring and equally impressive far-reaching views. One benefits from an en-suite shower room with terrazzo tiling, a heated towel rail and a walk-in shower; the other is served by a stylish guest bathroom with a freestanding basin and underfloor heating. Stairs lead up to an electric skylight opening onto the flat mansard roof, refurbished in 2010 and offering potential for a roof terrace (subject to consent).

West Grove is one of West Greenwich’s premier streets and is ideally positioned adjacent to the Heath. Only a stone’s throw away is Royal Hill with its local fishmonger, cheesemonger, butcher, greengrocer and family pubs, offering a true feeling of village life inside London.

The Point — a hidden gem of parkland with stunning panoramic views of London’s iconic skyline — is moments away, as is the vast Royal Greenwich Park and its many amenities.

Greenwich Village, with its impressive array of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants, as well as its famous market, is only a short walk from the house. Picturesque Blackheath Village is also accessible by a short and pleasant stroll across the Heath.

Greenwich stations (mainline and DLR) are a short walk away and offer excellent transport links to Central London, the City and Canary Wharf.

For families seeking the finest education, esteemed private and state schools are situated within close proximity, ensuring a nurturing and top-tier learning environment for children.
