A top-floor two-bedroom conversion in the historic Royal Herbert Pavilions, offered with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (circa 968 years). The apartment mixes period character — huge oval sash windows, high ceilings and Victorian brickwork — with a modern fitted kitchen and gas central heating. Communal perks are strong: on-site concierge, members’ leisure club with gym, pool and tennis court, plus around seven acres of communal grounds.
Practical positives include an allocated secure parking space accessed via a private gate, secondary glazing and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The layout suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a distinctive home close to bus links for Blackheath, Greenwich and Woolwich; nearby schools include well-rated primaries and Ark Greenwich Free School.
Material considerations are plain: the building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and complicate some works. Annual service charges are above average at about £4,159 and ground rent is £200 per year. The flat is on the second (top) floor with no lift and the second bedroom is compact, which may limit some buyers. Walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation.
Overall this is a characterful, well-serviced apartment that suits buyers who value historic setting and communal amenities, and who accept listed-building constraints and higher ongoing service costs.
