Historical property overlooking greenwich park
Nestled within the North wing of the esteemed Macartney House, this exceptional property spanning 2,732 square feet over two floors epitomises modern elegance against a backdrop of historical grandeur. Recently renovated and remodeled by its current owners, it commands awe-inspiring views of Greenwich Park, a verdant expanse steeped in centuries of heritage.
Macartney House, a distinguished Grade II Listed residence, traces its origins back to 1676, a testament to its enduring significance in Greenwich’s storied past. Situated atop Crooms Hill, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of maritime Greenwich, it occupies a privileged position on Chesterfield Walk.
Among its illustrious former inhabitants, Major General James Wolfe, the revered Hero of Quebec, resided here with his family from 1751. His legacy is honoured by a blue plaque adorning the house, a statue in Greenwich Park, and his final resting place in nearby St Alfege Church.
The property is entered via a gated front garden and benefits from its own front door where you’ll be greeted by a wide entrance hallway featuring a striking floating staircase.
The ground floor unfolds into a harmonious blend of entertainment and relaxation spaces, including a dining/reception room, bespoke hardwood kitchen, three inviting double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a convenient utility room.
Ascending to the first floor reveals a breathtaking 28ft dual-aspect reception room, where four windows frame panoramic vistas of Greenwich Park and the iconic Royal Observatory. The expansive principal bedroom mirrors this enchanting outlook and features an en-suite shower room with sauna and a lavish walk-in wardrobe.
Residents of Macartney House have access to ample off-street parking at the front and a vast mature and manicured communal gardens. As a bonus, a spacious secured garage comes with the property.
