Description

This 1930s detached house is situated in the sought-after Cator Estate, offering a prime opportunity for renovation and investment. Having been cherished by the same family for many years, the property requires complete modernisation, allowing potential buyers to redesign and enhance it to meet contemporary tastes. The home is set back from the street, providing a sense of privacy with a spacious driveway and a charming front garden. Inside, the entrance hall leads to a large living room featuring a bay window and a traditional fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to this space is a dining room that connects seamlessly to a generously sized conservatory at the rear. This bright area offers expansive views of the garden, making it an ideal spot for entertaining or relaxing. The functional kitchen is equipped with wooden cabinetry and includes a separate utility room, alongside an integral garage for added convenience. The upper floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms complemented by a family bathroom. One of the standout features of this property is its impressive west-facing garden, extending over 100 feet in length. This tranquil outdoor space is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees which provide seclusion from neighbouring properties. With two patios—one directly accessible from the house and another at the far end—the garden holds significant potential for landscaping or outdoor enhancements. Located on Brooklands Park—a picturesque street within the desirable Cator Estate—residents can enjoy easy access to Blackheath Village. Here, you’ll find an array of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants that contribute to the vibrant community atmosphere. Additionally, local amenities include arts and music classes offered by the nearby Conservatoire, as well as various community events throughout the year. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to Blackheath Common and Greenwich Royal Park, both excellent recreational spaces in South East London. Commuters benefit from nearby Blackheath station with quick access into central London; services reach London Bridge in just 13 minutes! For families considering education options, there are numerous highly regarded schools nearby such as Brooklands Primary School and Blackheath Preparatory School. Notable secondary institutions like Eltham College also provide dedicated bus services from Blackheath Village. Overall, this property not only presents an opportunity for substantial renovation but also benefits from a desirable location that enhances its long-term investment potential.
