Set within the historic Royal Herbert Pavilions, this two-bedroom share-of-freehold apartment combines period charm with modern communal facilities. The layout offers an airy principal bedroom with ensuite, a generous living room and well-proportioned second bedroom across 855 sq ft of accommodation. It’s offered chain free and benefits from a very long lease.
Residents have access to extensive on-site amenities including a heated indoor pool, gym, tennis courts, 19 acres of landscaped gardens, a residents’ lounge and 24-hour concierge. Practical extras include allocated off-street parking with EV charging, broadband-ready connections and straightforward road and bus links to Woolwich Arsenal, Blackheath and the A2/South Circular.
Running costs and maintenance are material considerations: an annual service charge around £2,210 and a small ground rent (£200) apply. Council tax is above average and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so heating bills and future fabric upgrades are realistic long-term costs to budget for.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, well-serviced base in an established estate — families and professionals who value on-site leisure and security, plus easy connections to central and suburban services. The flat offers immediate occupation and scope to personalise internal finishes while enjoying the communal lifestyle and extensive gardens.
