Deptford High Street, Deptford, London, SE8

Architecture & Interior
The building is a modern addition to the road, added in 1988 to reflect the row of period architecture that weaves its way along the road to the top of Deptford High Street where Evelyn Street meets Creek Road.

From the street and once inside the secure communal door, a curved stairwell carries you up to the apartment’s top floor positioning which enjoys a semi-isolated existence, neighbouring apartments are limited only to below, with nobody either side or above.

Crossing the threshold reveals the owner’s sublime design detailing which unfolds in every corner of the apartment. Two stylish bedrooms sit either side of the outstanding shower room, its walls clad with soft blue Italian tiles and sanitary ware courtesy of Phillippe Starck.

Across the sun-soaked hallway, a minimally styled kitchen with free-standing stainless-steel cabinetry and appliances all framed by rich orange coloured Italian wall tiling is the first portion of the open plan reception area. From here, drift into the contemporary styled living room. The entire wall of windows at one end of the room casts a sunny gaze across the entire space as well as providing access to the private, light dappled roof terrace which is a part covered, convivial, verdant space courtesy of a range of potted plants and small trees that the owners will include as part of the sale.

Throughout the apartment, except the bathroom, warm, tactile Italian rubber covers the entire floor area, its glossy surfaces gilded by the sun as it pours through the windows. Further design touches reveal themselves in the mixture of Vico Magistretti & Michele De Lucchi light fittings.

Above the entire space, the loft void provides storage and unusually for a leasehold apartment, it’s demised to the property. Something that has been mooted in the past (subject to consent) is the prospect of removing the ceiling completely, adding skylights and creating even more interior drama.

In The Neighbourhood
Deptford’s renaissance has blossomed in recent years, its magnetic energy attracting a vibrant, creative generation drawn to its urban dynamism. This revival is embodied in the neighbourhood’s treasure trove of independent businesses—boutiques, bars, eclectic eateries, and artisan coffee shops—extending well beyond its immediate streets.

A leisurely ten-minute stroll along Creek Road leads to the storied Royal Borough of Greenwich, where cobbled lanes brim with craft workshops, a bustling weekend market, world-class museums, and the sweeping, leafy expanse of Greenwich Park. For those craving a waterside escape, the iconic River Thames lies just moments away, inviting serene strolls along its timeless banks.

Transport & Connections
With the influx of new local residents, the high street and surrounding area has renewed transport links to match. Deptford Station is virtually on the doorstep. From here, Thameslink services to London Bridge (with connections for the Northern & Bakerloo Line) take under eight minutes with Blackfriars just one more stop beyond that.

Southeastern Railways services run through Deptford heading to Charing Cross and Cannon Street.

Slightly further on foot, pick up the DLR at Deptford Bridge and head on to Bank via Canary Wharf (with Elizabeth Line connections) or over to New Cross for London Overground services to East and North London through Shoreditch.
