Property description
Architecture & Interior
Greenwich Academy is quite the landmark building. Its distinctive,” Queen Anne” style Victorian architectural lines have stood proudly on Blackheath Road since its conception in 1874.Its conversion to a residential building caused quite the stir. Dusty, cold classrooms were replaced with highly desirable boutique apartments filled with natural light that spills into voluminous accommodation.At the heart of the main building, this first floor duplex offers nearly 2000 sq. ft and unashamedly aimed at those looking for stylish, convivial living.The upper floor is a series of bedroom accommodation that unwinds itself around a mezzanine which gazes down across a vast eat-in kitchen stretching across the entire rear of the apartment soaking up natural light from huge secondary glazed windows of the period that capture the rooms’ vast dimensions.Whilst there are up to four usable bedroom areas, the layout invites prospective buyers to determine how the space would best suit their needs. If required, private office and works spaces wouldn’t look out of place. Creativity feels very at home here.The principal reception is without doubt the standout room. Period character, sublime ceiling height, exposed brick and oversized sash windows draw together creating a soothing, laid back environment perfect for unwinding, with or without guests. Art collectors will revel in the rooms expansive wall areas ability to display considerable sized pieces if required.Outside
The gated communal grounds are beautifully tended, flowery borders and grassy infills sit and around the communal car park where this apartment enjoys an allocated space of its own.In The Neighbourhood
