Read the full agent description

East Officers Apartments forms part of the Grade II listed Royal Military Academy, set within a private gated development on Woolwich Common. The Academy has an exceptional history, having been established in 1741 to provide specialist education and training for officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. The present Academy buildings were designed by James Wyatt and constructed between 1796 and 1805, opening in 1806, and the development retains many of the architectural features and character associated with its former military use.

This particularly impressive 913 sq ft duplex apartment occupies an attractive position within the development and provides very spacious accommodation arranged over two floors.

The ground floor features a magnificent 23' reception room with huge vaulted ceilings and an impressive bay window overlooking the historic Academy cricket pitch and communal grounds. The sense of space and natural light in this room is one of the property's outstanding features.

There is also a fully equipped and modern 26' kitchen/diner, providing an excellent second living and entertaining space, together with a separate ground floor cloakroom.

The mezzanine floor provides a very spacious 24' double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom benefits from the character and volume created by the duplex layout, while the vaulted ceilings and open plan feel of the accommodation add to the individuality of the property.

The apartment is situated within a private gated development and benefits from an on-site concierge service operating from 7am to 7pm, secure on-site bicycle storage and one allocated car parking space.

The historic Academy cricket pitch is directly within the grounds and is leased and maintained by Blackheath Cricket Club. Cricket has been played on the site since at least 1860, making it one of the oldest cricket grounds in the country.

For those looking for something different from a conventional apartment, this is an outstanding opportunity to own something truly unique. The combination of a substantial duplex layout, vaulted ceilings, impressive reception space, views over the cricket ground, private gated setting and the history of the former Royal Military Academy gives the property a character that is difficult to replicate.

The property is offered for sale with immediate vacant possession.
