3 bed detached house for sale

Brooklands Park, Blackheath, London SE3

A detached 1930s house on the private Cator Estate with a wonderful 95ft south-west facing garden, offered chain free and brimming with scope to extend and re-plan (STPP). In one family’s ownership for many years, it’s ready for a thoughtful refresh and has the scale to become a forever home.

Set well back behind a broad drive and planted front garden, the house opens to a generous reception hall. A bright front sitting room with deep bay and fireplace (about 17'0 x 11'8) is balanced by a separate dining room (11'4 x 14'6) that flows into a full-width garden room/conservatory (24'6 x 10'0), an effortless everyday link to the outside. The kitchen (13'10 x 9'6) sits alongside with a utility and side door, plus a guest WC. There is internal access to the 19'8 integral garage and a useful adjoining workshop.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, the principal a broad, bayed room (12'10 x 18'1), together with a family bathroom and an unusually wide landing that invites reconfiguration, a natural place for an en-suite, second bathroom or even a fourth bedroom, subject to consent.

The garden is the showpiece: Around 95ft, private and mature, with broad terraces, sweeping lawn and established borders that soak up the afternoon and evening sun. It’s a superb canvas for landscaping and future enlargement while preserving the home’s period character.
In all, approximately 2,188 sq.ft/203 sq.m including the garage and garden room, chain free, and an exceptional opportunity to shape a forever family home.
