About this development
Beautifully designed, characterful homes offering modern conveniences.
The Gables, designed in 1896, by Sir Aston Webb, an English architect and president of Royal Academy 1919-1924. Some of his most famous works range from Queen Victoria Memorial, principal façade of Buckingham Palace and designing the entrance façade of Victoria and Albert Museum. He has also designed the Britannia Royal Naval College located in Dartmouth.
Today, the Gables has been carefully divided into seven luxury houses while preserving the original façade of Sir Webb’s work.
Situation
Blackheath Park is a picturesque, tree lined street found on the prestigious Cator Estate. Quite literally at the end of the road you will find Blackheath Village with its array of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. In addition to these amenities, the Conservatoire is a family friendly hub of the local community offering art, drama and music classes as well as hosting various events. On the north side of the village is the open heath which is a jewel of South East London and makes an idyllic recreation area with Greenwich Royal Park beyond. Blackheath station is ideal for commuting into town with regular services in to London Bridge (13 minutes), Charing Cross, Cannon Street and London Victoria. One stop down the line will bring you to Lewisham Station where the DLR provides regular services into Canary Wharf and Bank. Those who are considering schools will have a number of options for both state and public education. Local schools include the hugely popular and Ofsted Outstanding Brooklands Primary School, Heath House, Blackheath Preparatory School and The Pointers School. Further afield, Eltham and Dulwich Colleges run a bus service directly from Blackheath Village.
