Diamond Terrace, London, SE10

One Family, One Century, One Very Special Greenwich Home. Passed down through generations since 1924, this charming three-bedroom detached with a sun-filled walled garden is now ready for its next chapter.

Tucked away just off Hyde Vale, this historic detached home has been in the same family for just over a century. That sort of continuity is so rare these days - and you can feel it the moment you step through the door.

Originally purchased in 1924 for only £550 (with a £55 deposit!) It was once part of a wider estate connected to a nearby 17th-century manor house - its early owners thought to be workers for the estate.

That heritage is reflected in the architecture, the light and the quiet sense of place you don’t often find in the city.

Inside, the home is full of beautiful original details: wide-plank floorboards, tall sash windows and natural light that brings warmth to every room. 

Downstairs, there are three generous reception rooms - each with its own character offering flexibility for how you choose to live.

The kitchen, utility and WC are still arranged much as they were in the early 20th century. 

Back then, the drawing room was the social heart of the home - not the kitchen. 

These days, there’s wonderful scope to reconfigure the ground floor layout whilst remaining sympathetic, of course - opening it up for entertaining, adding ceiling lights or bi-folds to the garden, and creating the kind of modern family hub we all now love.

There’s a sun-trap walled garden to the rear and a pretty garden to the front - just enough outside space to enjoy without needing hours of upkeep.

Upstairs you’ll find three proper double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all with tall ceilings and gentle, filtered light. 

The unlisted status means there’s potential to extend or modernise (subject to obtaining planning permission), while keeping hold of the character that makes this place so special.

It’s located in one of the quietest corners of Greenwich, just off Hyde Vale. 

That said, you’re only a short stroll from Greenwich Park, the village and the station - so you get peaceful residential living without losing that essential sense of connection.

This is a home for someone who values the story behind a home as much as the square footage. Someone who sees potential not just in the space, but in continuing something rare and truly special.

It’s chain-free and ready for its next chapter - could it be yours?
