Stunning Grade II Listed one bedroom urban cottage located close to
Blackheath, wrapped around the thoughtfully landscaped courtyard gardens.
Retaining original features such as the carefully preserved Victorian tiled
fireplace and the original cast iron windows.
The centerpiece of the original Grade II listed Almshouses is the old clock
tower with a commemorative tablet that gives the names of the Master and
Wardens of the Almhsouses. Above it sits the Guild’s coat of arms in the
shadow of an old weather vane looking down as modern life unfolds on the lawn
below.
Designed by architect William Jupp and completed in 1826 in the Regency era
style, the evocative grey - yellow brick exteriors are handsomely detailed with
molded window and door architraves, pilasters and cornicing. Even the old coal
store has been kept. Step inside and the heritage details have been carefully
preserved in both the Urban Cottages and some of the family homes - from the
Victorian tiled fireplaces and original cast iron windows to the timber
panelled walls. But these are also contemporary homes reimagined for the 21st
Century.
Each of the Urban Cottages pairs a perfectly formed and superbly designed home
with the added benefit of a private courtyard for lazing on a Sunday morning
or a breath of fresh air before a busy day.
