An outstanding two-bedroom Span apartment on the ground floor of the Grade II listed Hallgate, which forms part of the highly regarded Cator Estate in Blackheath. Built in the late 1950s for the renowned Span development company, Hallgate was designed by the architect Eric Lyons and contains apartments that are light (thanks to extensive glazing on both front and back), elegantly detailed and positioned in a tranquil setting.

Accommodation includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, living / dining room, and bathroom. The apartment also has a separate store room. Being on the ground floor, it benefits from the ability to open up the south-facing glazed living room doors onto a quiet corner of the communal gardens.

Hallgate has been described by the Twentieth Century Society as “one of the most sophisticated and best-known of the Span developments in Blackheath”. It is located on the private Cator Estate, a popular area that was established in the late 18th century. Being free from main roads and any commercial activity, it retains a unique and tranquil charm. It is only a short walk from the main Blackheath station, which runs services to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Victoria and Charing Cross. The area is renowned for its outstanding schools, open spaces (the heath itself), and excellent local shops and restaurants.

Graham Morrison of Allies & Morrison Architects, who bought a Span house in Blackheath in the early 1980s, once described the joy of living on the Cator Estate: “I find it hard to imagine a more pleasant and safe place, so close to the city, in which to bring up young children. A shared garden made the making of friends easy and a sensible management structure helped to ensure the maintenance of not only the buildings and gardens but also the aims of the community.”
