3, Ingleside Grove, Blackheath, SE3 7PH

Tucked away in a wonderfully discreet position overlooking a pretty garden square, this substantial five/six bedroom semi-detached period home extending to approximately 2,955 sq.ft presents a genuinely rare opportunity in Westcombe Park.

One of just four houses on Ingleside Grove, and one of only two that remain as an entire, unconverted house, the property offers the sort of scale, setting and scope that very seldom comes to market, with the added rarity of a large south-facing garden and a garage to the side.

Arranged over three main floors (plus a cellar) the house retains the classic proportions you hope for from a property of this era: Generous ceiling heights, broad rooms, wide staircases and bay windows that draw in natural light.

While the interior now requires updating, it’s easy to see just how impressive the finished result could be, a proper, long-term family home where period character can be celebrated and enhanced with thoughtful, contemporary improvements.

The ground floor provides a superb footprint for everyday living and entertaining, with multiple interconnecting reception spaces and a separate study/office, all offering excellent flexibility for modern family life.

To the rear, the kitchen and ancillary space open the home out towards the garden and set the scene for a future kitchen/family room arrangement, should a buyer wish to rework the layout (subject to the usual consents).

A cellar level adds further practicality for storage, hobbies or a wine store.

The first floor is arranged around a generous central landing and offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying excellent natural light and that wonderful sense of space typical of the period.

The principal front rooms are particularly appealing, taking in elevated views across the green. The rear double bedroom has a ensuite bathroom and there is a second shower off the landing.

Finally, the top floor provides two further double bedrooms beneath the eaves, along with a separate study and a shower room, creating an ideal set-up for older children, guests or a quiet work-from-home level.

The front rooms again benefit from those lovely views over the green.

Outside, the south-facing garden is a standout feature, broad, established and full of potential, with the kind of orientation that transforms how the house feels throughout the year.

To the side, the garage (with adjoining workshop) is a real asset in this location, offering secure parking/storage today and exciting possibilities for a studio, gym or additional accommodation in the future, again subject to the relevant permissions.

This is a wonderful home with so much potential and viewing is a must. The property is sold chain free. Ingleside Grove is a sought after road within the Westcombe Park area in Blackheath.
