One of the very best Modern houses in south London, this three-storey property with wonderful views overlooking the open spaces of Blackheath was designed in the late 1960s by the acclaimed architect Royston Summers.

Accommodation includes three bedrooms, a large living / dining room, kitchen and two bathrooms. It should be noted that the large master bedroom has been made by knocking together what was previously two smaller bedrooms. The living room and master bedroom both have full-height windows overlooking the heath in one direction and the gardens at North Several in the other. There is also a garage as well as off-street parking for two cars. There are private, communal gardens at North Several. The house has a private terrace.

North Several is a small group of seven houses built to the highest standards for a collective of private individuals that included the noted playwright and novelist Michael Frayn. Set among communal gardens, the houses are of exquisitely detailed glass, concrete and brick construction. Featuring large, light, open-plan spaces and wonderful views, the houses of North Several caused considerable excitement when they were built (the property that is now for let was named House of the Year in 1969) and they continue to garner praise to this day.

The property that is currently for let is considered to be the best on North Several due to its secluded setting away from the road (Orchard Drive) and its views across the Heath. Previously owned by Michael Frayn, the house has been sympathetically updated in recent years.

North Several is located on the southwest edge of Blackheath, a short walk from Blackheath station, from where trains run directly to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Victoria, Charing Cross and Waterloo East (with journey times of approximately 15 – 25 minutes). A DLR service runs from the nearby Elverson Road station. The City and Canary Wharf are both easily accessed from Blackheath.

Blackheath is one of London’s most popular and attractive residential areas . This is thanks to the excellent range of independent shops, restaurants and pubs in the area as well as the great schools, good rail links and, of course, the fantastic green space of the heath itself and nearby Greenwich Park. Blackheath is also well known as one of the most architecturally-distinguished areas of London, being notable not only for its  fine Georgian houses but also its high levels of oustanding Modern buildings.
