Grade II Listed former munitions factory

Woolwich Arsenal | London | SE18

£550,000

SOLD SUBJECT TO CONTRACT

2 Bed | 1 Bath | Original beams | 1 Parking Space

This two bed apartment in a former Georgian warehouse sits within Woolwich’s historic Royal Arsenal, a former munitions factory & storage facility complex that was converted in 2006 but has a history dating back to 1671. Tastefully designed with a nod to the building’s history, the apartment measures around 1000 square feet over two floors. The property also comes with a parking space set within a gated forecourt.

Architecture & Interior
Set back from the banks of the River Thames, the Royal Arsenal’s former Grand Store is a calm and quiet environment to live, despite only being five minutes’ walk from excellent transport links that connect the area with the rest of London and beyond.

Located on the second floor, as soon as you set foot in the hallway of this property you feel that you are in the best of modern warehouse conversions, with exposed beams, large industrial windows and splashes of exposed brick. A calm, largely monochrome palette helps to frame these original features.

The lower floor consists of a double height open plan lounge with the kitchen separated by a dining table. The beautiful bespoke fitted kitchen by Uncommon Projects provides plenty of shelves and practical storage and is completed with Corian work surfaces, a Bora hob and Neff and Bosch appliances.

The bright, double height principal bedroom is also on this floor, along with a downstairs toilet and shower room.
The upper floor is accessed by a beautiful spiral staircase that leads directly into a perfect office space for those working from home. Sitting just behind is the second bedroom space and bathroom. Being the top floor of the building, this is where the beautiful beams and woodwork are exposed.

 

In the Neighbourhood
Within the Riverside development there is a tranquil atmosphere, nestled along the banks of the Thames, but the development of the area has brought a plethora of things to do. Pubs such as The Dial Arch and The Guardhouse are always popular along with the independently owned craft beer taproom operated by Salt Brewery.

There is definitely a creative flair in the area with two prominent local theatres The Tramshed and Woolwich Works. Also in the area is Punchdrunk immersive theatre founded in 2000 by Felix Barrett, which has pioneered a game-changing form of theatre which places the audience at the very heart of the action.
Artillery Square also holds a fortnightly farmers market on the second and last Sunday of the month

 

Transport & Connections
The Royal Arsenal Riverside development offers superb transport links, with the Crossrail station and Woolwich Arsenal station just over 250 meters away. These stations provide access to the Elizabeth Line, Southeastern, Thameslink and DLR services.

Canary Wharf is just seven minutes away by Crossrail, while Liverpool Street is fourteen. The Docklands Light Railway provides quick routes to City Airport and Bank. Greenwich is also reachable in thirteen minutes via Thameslink.

The Thames Clipper service, a 2-minute walk away, offers an alternative route to Canary Wharf, the O2, and the City, while the Woolwich Ferry South Pier and City Airport are also nearby.
