A Truly One-of-a-Kind Church Conversion Magnificent Two-Bedroom Duplex with Spectacular Living Spaces & Private Garden Woolwich, SE18

£2,950 per calendar month-Exclusive of Bills-Negotiable

A home like this comes onto the rental market perhaps once in a decade and it is certainly worth waiting for!

We are absolutely delighted to present this extraordinary, exceptionally spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom home, beautifully converted from part of a former church in Woolwich.

Occupying what was once the altar area of the church, this remarkable property is arranged over two floors and offers truly magnificent proportions, soaring ceilings, beautiful stained-glass windows, charming architectural features and an enormous sense of space throughout.

This is not your typical London flat. Far from it. It is a wonderfully unusual home, full of history, character and personality, with rooms of a size that are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

And to make it even more special, it comes with a wonderfully generous private garden.

The Magnificent Living Room

Quite simply, the heart and soul of this extraordinary home.

The living room is nothing short of spectacular.

Originally forming part of the church's altar area, this breathtaking space boasts exceptionally high, double-height ceilings, beautiful original-style arched stained-glass windows and an architectural grandeur that photographs can barely do justice to.

The room is absolutely enormous, with ample space for multiple large sofas, armchairs, coffee tables and additional furniture without ever feeling crowded.

Natural light pours through the magnificent windows, creating a wonderfully bright and peaceful atmosphere throughout the day.

The curved walls, beautiful architectural detailing and impressive ceiling height give the room an almost theatrical quality, yet it remains wonderfully warm, comfortable and inviting.

It really is a living room unlike any other.

The Kitchen & Dining Room-Exceptionally Spacious

The kitchen is another wonderfully generous space, offering far more room than one would ordinarily expect from a London rental property.

Beautifully arranged with extensive white fitted cabinetry, generous worktop space, a large range-style cooker and plenty of storage, it is both practical and welcoming.

There is ample room for a proper dining table and chairs, making it ideal for everyday family meals, entertaining friends or simply enjoying a leisurely Sunday breakfast.

The kitchen also benefits from a lovely outlook towards the garden and attractive decorative features, including a beautiful floral feature wall.

Unlike so many modern London properties where the kitchen is squeezed into a corner, this is a proper, substantial kitchen and dining room, with space to cook, dine and enjoy.

The First Bedroom A Beautifully Proportioned Retreat

The first bedroom is exceptionally spacious, with charming curved architectural features and lovely decorative alcoves that reflect the building's original character.

There is ample room for a large double or king-size bed, bedside tables, wardrobes, chests of drawers and additional furniture.

The room benefits from beautiful natural light, generous floor space and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.

The unusual architectural design gives it a distinctive charm, while its generous proportions make it a genuinely comfortable bedroom rather than simply somewhere to fit a bed.

The Second Bedroom Equally Impressive

The second bedroom is another remarkably generous room, offering substantial floor space and a wonderfully versatile layout.

With beautiful arched architectural features, high ceilings and attractive decorative detailing, this room has a character all of its own.

There is plenty of space for a large bed, wardrobes, bedside furniture and additional storage, without compromising comfort or movement.

Both bedrooms are wonderfully spacious and offer a level of comfort rarely found in more conventional London apartments.

Two Beautifully Appointed Bathrooms

Bathroom One Contemporary Shower Room

A beautifully finished, modern shower room featuring elegant neutral-toned wall tiling, a contemporary walk-in shower area with glass screening, a stylish washbasin and modern fittings.

The attractive tiling, clean lines and carefully considered lighting give the room a smart, sophisticated appearance.

It is a practical and stylish space, perfectly complementing the character of the property.

Bathroom Two Additional Bathroom Facilities

The property also benefits from a second bathroom, providing valuable convenience and flexibility for residents.

Having two bathrooms is a particularly welcome feature in a home of this size, especially for couples, families or those sharing the property.

Additional Upper-Floor Space

As if two substantial bedrooms were not enough, the property also offers an additional area on the upper floor, currently used for storage.

This space provides welcome flexibility and could potentially be adapted for another suitable purpose, subject to the necessary checks and approvals.

It is a particularly useful addition to an already generously proportioned home.

The Stunning Mezzanine and Upper-Level Gallery

One of the most striking features of this conversion is the beautiful upper-level gallery overlooking the magnificent living room below.

With its elegant glass balustrade, sweeping architectural lines and views towards the stained-glass windows, this space adds yet another dimension to the property.

It is a lovely reminder of the building's original purpose and creates an extraordinary sense of openness and grandeur.

The Private Garden A Rare London Luxury

And then there is the garden!

An exceptionally generous private outdoor space, offering a wonderful combination of lawn, established greenery, mature shrubs and paved seating areas.

There is ample room for outdoor dining furniture, summer entertaining, barbecues or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sunshine.

The garden wraps around the characterful brick exterior of the former church, creating a wonderfully private and unusual setting.

For anyone who appreciates having proper outdoor space in London, this is an absolute delight.

A Home with a Lovely History

This wonderful property has been occupied by the same tenants for nearly ten years.

They have recently moved out after purchasing their own home, which means that this exceptional property is now available for someone new to enjoy.

The landlord is absolutely wonderful, and we take great pride in ensuring that the property is well looked after and that our tenants feel comfortable and at home.

We would love to find someone who genuinely appreciates the character and uniqueness of this property and who will hopefully enjoy living here for many years to come.

Rental Details

Asking Rent: £2,950 per calendar month, exclusive of bills.

We are open to reasonable offers, and the rental price is negotiable depending on the proposed arrangements.

An all-inclusive rental arrangement may also be considered, with the monthly rent adjusted accordingly.

As this is a particularly special home, thorough referencing, affordability and standard tenancy checks will be carried out.

• A little about yourself and your occupation.

• Your preferred moving date.

Please take a proper look through the photographs, they really do speak for themselves!

Properties like this simply do not come along every day. With its spectacular architecture, enormous living spaces, beautiful bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous private garden, it offers something genuinely different from the usual London rental.

This is not simply somewhere to live. It is a truly remarkable place to call home.

Thank you very much for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully welcoming you to this rather extraordinary home!
