Set within a striking converted church, this chain-free one-bedroom duplex offers an unusually spacious 1,033 sq ft layout with double-height ceilings and a mezzanine bedroom. Original Gothic features — arched stained-glass windows, exposed beams and marble floors — combine with a contemporary fitted kitchen and glass balustrade for a dramatic, light-filled living space. The apartment feels larger than many one-bed flats and gives genuine scope to personalise and enjoy a distinctive home.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and access to onsite concierge and Royal Military Academy facilities. Parking is available nearby at an extra cost. The development also backs onto a restored historic cricket pitch used by Blackheath Cricket Club, adding an uncommon local amenity and green aspect.
Buyers should note material considerations: the home is leasehold, and the surrounding ward records very high crime levels and higher-than-average area deprivation. These local factors may influence insurance, security needs and long-term resale. There are strong local schooling options nearby, including several Good and an Outstanding secondary school.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking character and space rather than a turn-key suburban feel. It’s ideal for someone who values unique architecture, easy digital connectivity and being part of an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood, while accepting the practicalities of leasehold ownership and local security considerations.
