House For Sale £675,000
Bowater Place, London, SE3

In this quiet Conservation Area in Blackheath known as Rectory Fields, just a short walk from the Blackheath Royal Standard, an exceptional two bedroomed mid-terrace Victorian house with a stucco fronted elevation and a lovely secluded garden to the rear. The house has a small front garden set behind reclaimed wrought iron railings, with easy resident street parking directly outside the property.

The property has been lovingly restored to an exceptionally high standard, retaining tremendous charm and character. A two storey rear addition creates a splendid kitchen/day room with part glazed roof, the space opening directly on to the beautiful garden with Argon-filled, double-glazed metal-framed double doors providing excellent light.

ORIGINAL FEATURES
A middle reception room has wonderful wooden wall-panelling, enhancing the period style, while the lovely front reception room has a working fireplace and wood-shuttered window. The hallway retains the original staircase, now softened with a sisal runner, and the rare original 'Lincrusta' wall décor up to dado level.

Between the two double bedrooms on the second floor, there’s a charming period style bathroom complete with cast iron roll top bath, walk-in shower with bespoke enclosure to maximise space and chequered Bert & May tiles underfoot; three skylights on this floor let light flood in. The rear garden, a real feature, has been completely landscaped, including an attractive timber tool shed and an old 'privy' (including a second toilet), with reclaimed vintage tiles. The garden is a true verdant retreat with excellent seclusion.

SASH WINDOWS
The comprehensive refurbishment programme includes wet underfloor heating to the entirety of the ground floor, new wiring, plumbing and heating system, new water and gas supplies, a new fully insulated roof and all windows conforming to the conservation area with sash replacement frames incorporating double glazed panes. The floorboards throughout have been stripped and restored, creating a sense of period character. Farrow & Ball and Little Greene paints have been used throughout, with a warm white the predominant theme

The property is within a short walk of the excellent shopping at the Blackheath Royal Standard, including a Marks & Spencer foodhall, with the heath slightly further away, but still within walking distance. Blackheath Village is approximately a mile away and Westcombe Park Railway station is slightly closer, providing a fast service into central London. The Royal Greenwich Park is also close-by.
