Ashmore Road, London

Something truly extraordinary awaits within the iconic Royal Military Academy, a stunning Grade II listed church conversion where history and modern design unite in breath-taking style. Once the Church of St Michael and All Angels, this architectural gem now forms part of one of South London’s most recognisable gated developments and offers the rare opportunity to own a brand-new apartment quite unlike anything else.
The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1902, and today, its rebirth is nothing short of spectacular. One of only three homes created within this magnificent structure, this one-bedroom apartment spans approximately 1,113 sq. ft, an incredible sense of space that’s immediately apparent as you step through its impressive timber door framed by ornate stucco and decorative stonework, complete with stained glass windows that shimmer with colour.
Inside, the grand proportions, intricate carved timber panelling, and soaring vaulted ceilings illuminated by chandelier lights all pay homage to its ecclesiastical past. The ground floor is finished with elegant double-sized ceramic tiles and underfloor heating, blending heritage with comfort. A luxurious bathroom with a freestanding bath and beautifully tiled walls adds a touch of indulgence, while the kitchen, styled in deep navy with sleek appliances, offers a striking contrast, a perfect marriage of old and new.
Ascending to the mezzanine level, the generous bedroom overlooks the grand living space below, providing a commanding vantage point to admire the building’s glorious architecture. There’s also an en-suite shower room finished to a superb standard, complementing the main bathroom.
Set within the leafy, historic Royal Military Academy, once frequented by kings, generals, and statesmen, residents enjoy an exceptional lifestyle. Landscaped grounds, wide boulevards, and even a historic cricket pitch are accompanied by modern luxuries including a 24-hour concierge.
With easy access to Woolwich’s Elizabeth Line for rapid travel across London, including Canary Wharf, The City, West End and Heathrow, plus local rail and DLR stations nearby, this home offers convenience to match its character. From the independent shops of Blackheath and Charlton Village to the energy of Woolwich town centre, everything you need is within reach.
A rare chance to own something remarkable, a home that honours history while embracing the modern day.
