A four-bedroom modern house forming part of an award-winning terrace, in a fabulous location with the green spaces of Blackheath on its doorstep. Arranged over three storeys, and with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the heath, the house was designed in the late 1960s by the architect Royston Summers. Accommodation amounts to approximately 1,500 sq ft.

North Several is a small group of seven houses built to the highest standards for a collective of private individuals that included the noted playwright and novelist Michael Frayn. Set among communal gardens, the houses are of an eye-catching glass, concrete and brick construction. Featuring large open-plan spaces and wonderful views, the houses caused considerable excitement when they were built, winning a design award from the then Minister of Housing and Local Government, and they continue to garner praise to this day. This particular house was where Summers lived, and still contains a lot of the original built-in furniture.

The property contains a bright, open-plan reception room with dining area and access to a private terrace, smart kitchen with original glass breakfast bar, utility room, four bedrooms, family bathroom, guest cloakroom with WC, integral garage, off-street parking and a lawned communal garden.

North Several is located on the south-west edge of Blackheath, a short walk from Blackheath station, from where trains run directly to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Victoria, Charing Cross and Waterloo East (with journey times of approximately 15-25 minutes). A DLR service to Bank and Canary Wharf runs from nearby Lewisham. Blackheath is one of London’s most popular and attractive residential areas, and has a great selection of shopping and dining facilities.
