6 bed detached house for sale

Shooters Hill Road, Blackheath, London SE3

Guide Price £2,950,000-£3,000,000. An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire Hunters Lodge, a substantial five double bedroom period residence extending to approximately 3,279 sq ft, together with an adjoining one-bedroom Coach House of approximately 647 sq ft. Offering 3,926 sq ft of accommodation in total (4,385 sq ft including the eaves), the properties are held on separate titles and occupy a magnificent plot with a 247 ft south-facing rear garden. An impressive in-and-out driveway provides off-street parking for several cars.

Arranged over four floors, the main house offers wonderfully generous and highly versatile accommodation, combining elegant proportions with exceptional space for family life, entertaining and working from home.

On the ground floor, a broad entrance hall leads into a superb principal reception room measuring approximately 26 ft, featuring high ceilings, an attractive fireplace and a large window overlooking the garden. The impressive kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the house, with extensive fitted cabinetry, a substantial central island and ample space for both everyday family dining and larger gatherings.

The substantial lower-ground floor includes an additional reception room measuring almost 27 ft, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. There is also a separate office or study, utility room and shower room. This highly adaptable level would work equally well as a family room, games room, cinema, gym or guest area, while the office could provide an occasional sixth bedroom if required.

Across the upper floors are five generous double bedrooms and three bath or shower rooms. The principal bedroom is complemented by an exceptionally spacious en-suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, twin basins and separate shower. The remaining bedrooms are all well proportioned, while the second floor also provides extensive eaves storage.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the property’s most remarkable features. Extending to approximately 247 ft and enjoying a sought-after southerly aspect, it includes a broad paved terrace for outdoor dining, expansive lawns and a wonderful collection of mature trees and established planting. Its exceptional scale, privacy and depth create a magnificent setting rarely found so close to Blackheath Village and Greenwich Park.

Included within the sale is the adjoining two-storey Coach House, extending to approximately 647 sq ft and benefiting from its own title, separate utility supplies and a private courtyard garden. The accommodation comprises a reception room opening onto the courtyard, a fitted kitchen and breakfast room, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a shower room and an open landing providing an ideal study or home-working area.

The Coach House has been successfully let in recent years and provides excellent flexibility as an independent annexe for relatives, guests or an au pair, a dedicated home-working space or a valuable rental investment. We believe it could command a rental figure in the region of £1,900 per calendar month, subject to its condition and prevailing market conditions.

Hunters Lodge occupies a prestigious position just off the heath, approximately 900 metres from Blackheath Village with its excellent selection of restaurants, bars, boutiques, independent shops, farmers’ market and mainline station. The daily conveniences of Blackheath Standard, including M&S Foodhall, are within approximately 450 metres, while the magnificent Royal Greenwich Park is only around 600 metres away.

Greenwich town centre lies beyond the park and offers an extraordinary collection of historic and cultural attractions, including the Old Royal Naval College, Royal Observatory, National Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark and renowned covered market.

The area is particularly well served by highly regarded independent schools, including Blackheath Preparatory School, The Pointer School, Heath House Preparatory School, Blackheath High Junior and Senior Schools, Colfe’s and Eltham College.

Transport connections are excellent, with Blackheath Station providing regular services into London Bridge, Cannon Street, Charing Cross and Victoria. North Greenwich, the Jubilee Line, DLR, riverboat services, foot tunnel, cable car and Superloop bus network are also within easy reach, making Canary Wharf, the City and central London readily accessible.

The combination of a substantial five double bedroom family residence, an independently titled Coach House, exceptional parking and one of the finest gardens in the area makes Hunters Lodge a genuinely unique and highly versatile home
