3 bed flat for sale

Greenwich Academy, Greenwich SE10

A remarkable three-bedroom, two-reception loft apartment set within Greenwich Academy, a celebrated Grade ii-listed school conversion nestled between Greenwich town centre and Blackheath Village.

Once home to the West Greenwich Secondary School, the building dates back to 1874 and was designed by the acclaimed architects E.R. Robson and J.J. Stevenson, pioneers of the Queen Anne revival. Its striking neo-Gothic brick façade marks a bold departure from the architectural norms of the era, commissioned in the wake of the Education Act of 1870.

Occupying the first floor, this expansive residence spans over 2,100 sq. Ft., seamlessly blending the grandeur of its historic roots with the character of modern loft living. Original schoolhouse features such as exposed brickwork, towering 4.28m ceilings, and grand sash classroom windows are thoughtfully preserved, creating a unique and atmospheric home.

The main reception room is bathed in natural light from its large south-facing windows, offering tranquil views over the beautifully landscaped communal gardens. A second reception space, currently used as a dining room flows into a stylish, double height, galley style kitchen.

Accommodation includes three generous bedrooms, one on the main level and two on the mezzanine, each with access to a private bathroom. A flexible study or occasional fourth bedroom overlooks one of the reception rooms, adding to the versatility of the layout.

The apartment includes a share of the freehold and an allocated secure parking space. Residents also enjoy access to peaceful communal gardens, a rare retreat in this vibrant urban setting.

Located moments from the shops, cafés, and cultural landmarks of Greenwich Village, Blackheath, and the historic Greenwich Park, the property also benefits from excellent transport links via Deptford Bridge DLR, Greenwich Station (DLR and National Rail), and New Cross (London Overground), making it a superb choice for city professionals seeking both character and convenience.
