Set within a Grade II listed Gothic Revival church conversion, this exceptionally large two-bedroom apartment offers dramatic vaulted ceilings, stained glass and 1,837 sq ft of living space. The grand principal reception benefits from original stone mullions and timber panelling, finished with ceramic flooring and underfloor heating for modern comfort. The luxury kitchen and two bathrooms support contemporary living while preserving period character.
The home sits in an iconic gated development with 24-hour concierge, manicured grounds and strong transport links including the Elizabeth Line at Woolwich. Two mezzanine bedrooms overlook the main space and deliver memorable views of the restored interior, though the mezzanine layout may suit those seeking an open-plan, gallery-style arrangement rather than conventional separate rooms.
Important practical points: the building’s listed status brings planning constraints and may complicate alterations and repairs. The property is leasehold (998 years remaining) with an average service charge of £2,500. The immediate area records a very high crime rate and local deprivation indicators, which buyers should weigh against the development’s secure, gated setting and concierge.
This is a rare chance to own a striking, historically significant apartment that combines cathedral-like scale with contemporary fittings. It will strongly appeal to buyers prioritising unique character, generous volume and transport connectivity, but those seeking a low-maintenance, suburban environment or unrestricted adaptability should note the listing constraints and local context.
