Eltham Palace is one of the most extraordinary and genuinely unique historic buildings in the whole of London — and indeed in the whole of England — and its presence makes Eltham one of the most historically significant residential areas in the portfolio. The palace is unique because it is two completely different buildings from two completely different eras occupying the same site: a surviving medieval and Tudor royal palace dating from the 13th century, and a spectacular 1930s Art Deco mansion built by the millionaire textile family Stephen and Virginia Courtauld immediately adjacent to it. The medieval Great Hall, built in the 1470s during the reign of Edward IV and one of the finest surviving examples of medieval timber roof construction in England, stands alongside the Courtaulds' breathtaking Art Deco interiors including a circular entrance hall of polished black marble, a gold-plated bathroom and an Art Deco dining room where the Courtaulds hosted some of the most glamorous dinner parties in 1930s London. Henry VIII spent much of his childhood at Eltham and it was once the largest royal palace in England, able to host 800 members of the royal household. English Heritage took over the palace in 1992 and it is now open to the public five days a week, one of the most remarkable and visually stunning visitor attractions in all of South East London.

The Corbett Estate is one of the most handsome and well-preserved Edwardian residential developments in South East London, and the defining residential identity of the streets immediately surrounding Eltham Palace. It was developed by Scottish property developer Archibald Cameron Corbett who purchased the Eltham Park Estate and built well-designed Edwardian suburban housing across it between 1900 and 1914. The streets of the Corbett Estate — including Westmount Road, Westbourne Road and the surrounding grid of wide Edwardian residential roads — are characterised by solid, well-built semi-detached houses with generous gardens and period features that have stood the test of time and remain among the most sought after family homes in the whole of SE9. The estate has a genuine coherence and quality of construction that distinguishes it from many contemporary suburban developments.

The Progress Estate in Well Hall is one of the most historically significant and architecturally distinctive housing estates in the whole of South East London, and a completely unique property type found nowhere else in the portfolio. In 1915, His Majesty's Office of Works constructed the entire estate in an astonishing ten months between February and December to house the vastly increased numbers of workers employed at the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich during the First World War. Originally called Well Hall Garden City, it was built in the Arts and Crafts style with cottage-style houses, communal gardens and careful attention to quality and character that compares remarkably well with later social housing developments elsewhere in London — surprising given the extraordinary speed of its construction. The estate was purchased by the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society in 1925 and renamed the Progress Estate. It is today a conservation area, and its preserved Arts and Crafts cottages on streets like Well Hall Road are among the most recognisable and historically important residential buildings in SE9. Edith Nesbit, the celebrated author of The Railway Children, lived at Well Hall House in the adjoining estate from 1899 to 1921, and the moat and grounds of the house were an inspiration for her children's books.

Yes, moves from the residential streets surrounding the Well Hall Pleasaunce are something we carry out regularly across Eltham and SE9. The Well Hall Pleasaunce is a beautifully laid out public park on Well Hall Road, created on the grounds of the former Well Hall House and incorporating the original moat and garden walls of the medieval estate that once stood here. The surviving Tudor Barn — actually believed to be part of the dwelling of William Roper, son-in-law of Sir Thomas More, who spent time at the nearby palace — is one of the finest surviving Tudor outbuildings in South East London and now operates as a restaurant and events venue. The surrounding residential streets include some of the most attractive properties on the Progress Estate and the Corbett Estate, and our team is very familiar with the access and parking considerations in this part of Eltham.

Parking in Eltham is generally more manageable than many inner London areas, with many of the Corbett Estate Edwardian houses and Progress Estate cottages having their own front gardens and private frontages. However, Eltham High Street itself and the roads immediately surrounding it can be busy with shoppers throughout the day. The streets around Eltham station can be congested during commuter peak hours, and some of the residential streets in the Wells Park area have permit restrictions. Our team will advise you in advance on the best loading and unloading approach for your specific Eltham address to keep your move running smoothly and on time.

Eltham has a remarkable range of celebrity and historical connections that give it a cultural identity far greater than its public profile might suggest. Bob Hope, the Hollywood comedian widely regarded as one of the greatest entertainers in the history of American entertainment, was born in Eltham in 1903 before his family emigrated to the United States, and the Bob Hope Theatre on Wythfield Road was named in his honour. Kate Bush, one of the most celebrated and innovative British musicians of the 20th century, grew up in the Bexley area on the borders of Eltham. Jude Law, the Oscar-nominated British actor, grew up in Eltham. Edith Nesbit, the beloved Victorian and Edwardian children's author who wrote The Railway Children, lived at Well Hall House in Eltham from 1899 to 1921 and drew inspiration for her books from the moat and grounds of the estate. Henry VIII spent much of his boyhood at Eltham Palace, giving Eltham one of the most literally royal connections of any residential area in the portfolio.
