23-29, BLACKHEATH ROAD SE10 (See details for further address information)

Nos 23 to 29 on Blackheath Road are two adjoining pairs of early 19th century houses. They are each two storeys high with a basement, except for No 25, which has an additional storey. Each house features one window in the central block. All but No 23 have a set-back entrance with one window. The houses have slate roofs that are moderately low pitched, with eaves soffits at the front and projecting verges at the sides. The entrance links have parapet fronts. The sash windows have plain reveals and glazing bars, with the main blocks featuring three-light windows, although some glazing bars are missing. The walls are made of multicoloured brick with stuccoed fronts. The ground floor has a stone loggia with a wooden trellis in diamond and fishscale patterns, topped with a swept lead roof and scalloped wooden bargeboard. The original six-panel doors, with the upper panels of Nos 25 and 29 glazed, have cornice heads and rectangular fanlights, set back in quasi-Tuscan porches with square columns. No 23 has its entrance on the return to Catherine Grove, featuring a modernised door surround. Nos 23 to 45 on Blackheath Road form a group.
