Apartment for sale - Major Draper Street, Greenwich, SE18

John Payne are delighted to be bringing to the market this exceptional one bedroom apartment in the Grade II listed Officers’ House, a unique architectural gem in the heart of the Royal Arsenal Riverside development.

Originally built in 1740 as part of the Royal Military Academy, it is the last of the Heritage buildings to be refurbished by Berkeley Homes, so this is a rare opportunity to secure a home in a truly historic setting but designed for 21st century living - literally just seconds away from the new Elizabeth Line Woolwich station.

Seamlessly combining old and new, this large first floor apartment epitomises comfort and elegance with its grand proportions, period features, high ceilings, original fireplace and sash windows.

The apartment is on the first floor of the Officers’ House, with its traditional brick façade and is approached by a communal staircase (there is also a lift). This is the largest one bedroom apartment in the Officers’ House at 654 sq ft. The hallway is wide and spacious and leads through to the perfectly proportioned living area, 21ft by 15ft, with original fireplace, engineered timber floor, which is bathed in light from the 3 full size sash windows (double glazed), all offering a splendid view of the green space of Dial Arch Square below.

Impeccably designed for clean, open plan living, there is a high spec fully integrated kitchen with dishwasher as well as a separate, contained utility area off the hallway to maximise space. The good size bedroom comes with fully fitted wardrobes and a stylish, high spec 3-piece bathroom completes the apartment.

The apartment gives you access to the relaxing Waterside Club, which includes a resident only gym with state of the art fitness equipment, vitality spa pool and a 20 m swimming pool, sauna and steam room, treatment rooms, private cinema room and 24 hour concierge and security. There are a number of residents only sports societies, weekly Park Run and the Thames Path which provides running and cycling routes to Greenwich and London Bridge or out to Kent. The Yoga Space and the 7R Cross Fit gym both offer a comprehensive class programme for the local community.

Royal Arsenal Riverside is one of London’s most significant regeneration successes, with the transformation beginning in 2003, sympathetic to the site’s rich history. With a strong community feel and acres of landscaped parks, Officers’ House is nestled in the bustling Heritage Quarter with gastropubs, cafes and shops on the doorstep including Young’s Dial Arch Pub, Boulangerie Jade, Gail’s and M&S Simply Food. It is also within the Royal Arsenal Creative District, where the likes of International immersive theatre company Punchdrunk and the Carlos Acosta Dance Academy have their global headquarters alongside Woolwich Works – an award winning multi million pound cultural centre showcasing the best in comedy and music.

With fantastic transport links (Canary Wharf in 7 mins, Bond Street in 20 mins, City Airport in 5 mins) and all the amenities Woolwich has to offer, the area has everything you could need to enjoy life. This apartment is genuinely one of a kind, unlike any other one bed on the development - the perfect mix of style, heritage and convenience. A rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary home – this is one you definitely won’t want to miss!
