Flat 4, 11 The Paragon, London, SE3 0NZ

Brickworks says Set on the first floor of The Paragon - a Grade I listed building historian Nikolaus Pevsner described as “one of the finest Georgian crescents in England” - this two-bedroom apartment occupies a remarkable piece of architectural history in the heart of Blackheath.

Reconfigured for modern life but still unmistakably Georgian at heart, the home unfolds from a smart lobby into a series of bright, beautifully proportioned spaces.

At its centre is a dramatic double-height living room, with an extraordinary curved tripartite bay window drawing in light.

Sitting, dining and kitchen areas flow easily together, creating a calm, sociable atmosphere.

The kitchen introduces a softer contemporary layer, with chalky duck-egg-blue cabinetry and dark marble worktops sitting comfortably against original detailing.

The principal bedroom has a lovely sense of character, with custom pea-green joinery, original tiling and a crescent-shaped hearth, while the second bedroom feels quieter and more cocooning, complete with shuttered sash windows and built-in storage.

Blackheath itself needs little introduction: Village vibe, excellent coffee, proper pubs and the Heath stretching out at the end of the road.

Greenwich is close by when you want it, and central London is comfortably within reach.

The owner says We never get sick of the gorgeous light that fills the space and the way it changes throughout the day, especially in the late afternoon.

Having greenery and open space on all sides makes you forget you’re in London - this is a flat that makes you feel like you’re perpetually on holiday!

We also love the breeze through from the bedroom to the living room when the windows are open (which cools the flat beautifully in summer), the high ceilings, and the large main bedroom which is a peaceful, spacious haven.

And of course, though it probably goes without saying, the curved windows. Lastly, the back garden is such a treat, it really is like having a private park.

Perfect for wandering, contemplating and reading. Or having the first tea or coffee of the day on one of the benches scattered around. Bliss!

As the first development on the development, The Paragon now forms the northern edge of the Cator Estate - a 282-acre collection of private roads and exceptional Georgian architecture, through to the present day.
