This exciting three-bedroom detached contemporary house measures approximately 1,065 sq ft over three storeys. The house overlooks the historic river Quaggy to the south and a number of established gardens, the grey aluminium picture windows making the most of these unique surroundings and the large sliding doors opening out on to the river, really allowing you to connect with the outside. It has been designed to exacting standards by Stephen Davies of 31/44 Architects to make the most of the light and natural assets.

Approaching the house, a hand-crafted oak front door gives an idea of what materials to expect inside. There is a bright open-plan living area and kitchen on the ground floor, a double-height void and a sculptural staircase adding to the sense of drama. Sliding doors lead out to a courtyard garden, where one can really enjoy the river and the wildlife that inhabits it. The first floor has two flexible-use bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the top floor is a further bathroom and the master bedroom, which leads out to a decked roof terrace. The exterior complements the immediate green landscape of the trees, plants, river and park.

Weardale Road is located between Lewisham, Blackheath and Hither Green stations, from where trains run directly to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Victoria, Charing Cross and Waterloo East. A DLR service to Bank and Canary Wharf runs from nearby Lewisham. Green spaces are nearby with Manor Park and Manor House Gardens just a short walk away. Lewisham is currently undergoing a large redevelopment of its town centre. The ‘Lewisham Gateway’ development will bring new shops, restaurants and cafes as well as homes and new public spaces which will all benefit the local area. Blackheath is one of London’s most popular and attractive green areas, and has a great selection of shopping and dining facilities.
