Property description

One of Greenwich's most magnificent period houses and arguably one of the finest south of the river, this is a rare opportunity to buy a unique home that has been lovingly restored and retains a plethora of period features combined with luxurious hi-spec features and plentiful, well laid-out rooms. Built in 1695, this William and Mary Grade II-listed house has a sense of grandeur and style that is evident as soon as one enters into the reception room with its roaring fireplace, wood panelling, cornicing and feature archway leading into the library. From the library a staircase leads you down to the lower floor which contains the wine cellar, cinema room and staff accommodation (with original York stone flooring), both of which could be used as additional bedrooms. With a shower room, WC and potential to create a kitchenette this could be used as an apartment for a nanny or guests. The first floor contains a wonderfully spacious dining room with fireplace and bi-folding doors onto the kitchen, perfect for hosting large dinner parties and events. The kitchen has been designed for the enthusiastic cook with plenty of storage and preparation space and features granite worktops, state of the art Smeg appliances and a Sub Zero fridge freezer, with a pantry just off it containing the dishwasher and second sink, perfect for whisking everything out of sight. The whole of the second floor is dedicated to the master bedroom suite with an opulent bedroom and ensuite bathroom which is one of the largest you're ever likely to see, and the utility or maid's room just off it. Three further bedrooms and a shower room fill the top floor from which you have incredible views over Davenport Gardens and towards the famous Wren towers which top Greenwich's Royal Naval College designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and in the other direction towards Hawksmoor's St. Alphege Church; fantastic during the day, even better at night! Exposed ceiling beams in the bedrooms were reclaimed from the shipyards in Deptford in the late 17th century adding to the history of the house. The library overlooks the delightful landscaped south west-facing garden with a listed Judas tree and patio area, perfect for alfresco dining. With the wisteria in bloom the garden is transformed into a haven of colour and tranquillity. The house is incredibly bright and airy with a multitude of windows front and back, solid oak wood flooring throughout, two boilers servicing the house and a combination of gas and wood-burning fireplaces. While retaining a wealth of period features the house has a whole host of hi-spec fixtures and fittings including a Sonos sound system, Wifi and CAT-6 cabling. For any discerning buyer who wants the rare opportunity to buy one of the most exciting houses to come to the Greenwich market in many years and loves to entertain and impress, it really does not come any better than this.
