The Plantation, Cator Estate

Beautifully and comprehensively refurbished with architecturally sympathetic style - in keeping with the original Eric Lyons design - and luxury fittings throughout, a three bedroomed T8 Span house. The house is quietly situated on the far side of the well-tended, central communal garden and has the great advantage of private courtyard gardens at both the front and rear, west and east facing respectively, for morning and afternoon sun, or shade, as desired.

The through reception room has full walls of original windows and doors to both gardens, and is open to the study, and the exquisitely fitted, Italian ‘Doimo Cucine’ kitchen which is complemented by German  appliances throughout, including an induction hob with integral in-hob extraction, porcelain worktop and many other features, such as a ‘Quooker’ tap and underfloor heating . Upstairs hardwood parquet flooring has been sourced and lovingly fitted, a perfect match for the original on the ground floor. There are two good double bedrooms each with smart fitted acoustically wood clad wardrobes and a third bedroom which is decadently utilised as a dressing room. The bathroom is superbly fitted with Italian marble & porcelain, German cast-iron bath, underfloor heating etc., and has a concealed laundry cupboard with washer/dryer. There is a new central heating boiler and system with new designer radiators throughout, and the electrical system has been refitted and upgraded, all warranted until 2035. Note, all the kitchen appliances installed in 2025 are also under warranty until 2030. Thermal insulation has been installed to all upstairs external walls and the new ‘Velux’ electric skylight provides energy efficiency and ventilation.

The Plantation, off Morden Road on the private Cator Estate, is about half a mile from Blackheath village and station, a lovely walk via the open heath.
