• Top 3 things you love about your home

1. The light and the view
   One of the first things that drew us to this home was the stunning south-facing view, visible from nearly every room. Thanks to the flat’s positioning and large aspect windows, the space is flooded with natural light all day long, creating a bright, uplifting atmosphere year-round. The large, sheltered balcony makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors in any season — from a quiet coffee on a crisp winter morning to a relaxed glass of wine on a warm summer evening.

2. A peaceful haven in a central location
   Although the flat is just moments from major amenities and transport links, the road itself is remarkably quiet. It’s a small, one-way street with no through traffic, so there’s very little noise. That combination of convenience and calm makes it feel like a hidden gem — peaceful, private, and secure.

3. Security and community feel
   The building itself offers exceptional security, with on-site staff, comprehensive fob and camera coverage, and a resident-only communal garden with private access. Whether you're living alone, as a couple, or as a small family, it brings real peace of mind and a sense of community.

• Top 3 things you love about the area?

1. Unbeatable transport links with a local feel
   This part of Greenwich offers the perfect balance between connectivity and character. We’re just a 5-minute walk to Maze Hill station (with direct trains to London Bridge in 12 minutes) and an 8-minute bus ride to North Greenwich for the Jubilee Line. Despite this excellent access, the area retains a charming high street feel — within a 3-minute walk, you’ll find over half a dozen independent cafés. Layers & Cakes, just across the street, is a personal favourite of ours — a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

2. Incredible local pubs, from historic to hidden gems
   Within a 10-minute walk, you’ll find some of London’s most iconic pubs — The Cutty Sark and The Trafalgar Tavern are steeped in history and ideal for entertaining guests from out of town. If you’re after something more laid-back and local, The Duke, a newly opened independent gastropub just 30 seconds away, serves an excellent smokehouse-inspired menu in a relaxed and friendly setting.

3. Endless green spaces for every kind of outdoor life
   Greenwich is a dream for dog lovers and nature seekers alike. We're just 5 minutes from Greenwich Pleasaunce, 8 minutes from Greenwich Park, and 10 minutes from the open fields of Blackheath. Whether you’re out with your four-legged friend, going for a jog, flying a kite, or enjoying a picnic, you'll be spoilt for choice with beautiful outdoor spaces right on your doorstep.
