Building 36, Marlborough Road, Woolwich, London, SE18

This exceptional and truly unique one-bedroom, Grade II listed split-level warehouse conversion spans an impressive 872 sq ft and includes the rare benefit of secure parking within a gated courtyard, just moments from the riverside walk.

Set within the historic Royal Arsenal Riverside, Building 36 forms part of the renowned Grand Store, constructed between 1808 and 1813 as a former store for the Woolwich Arsenal and general depot for the army and navy. Attributed to architects James Wyatt and Lewis Wyatt, the Grand Store is widely regarded as one of the most significant warehouse buildings of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Set well back from the road and accessed via a gated entrance, the apartment occupies the second and third floors of this striking historic building. The accommodation opens with an entrance hall leading directly into an impressive L-shaped reception room featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, magnificent exposed oak beams and characterful exposed brickwork. Flooded with natural light, this remarkable living space enjoys arched sash windows, double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, and attractive river views. Off the reception is a semi open-plan kitchen area, thoughtfully designed and well-equipped, making it ideal for entertaining. A separate WC/utility room completes this level.

From the entrance hall, a striking steel spiral staircase rises to the upper floor mezzanine landing. From here, a few steps lead down to the generous double bedroom, set beneath exposed beams and illuminated by two skylights. The bedroom benefits from a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, while a large storage cupboard is conveniently positioned just off the landing.

The property further benefits from secure parking within a landscaped gated courtyard, a 24-hour concierge service, and membership to the development’s leisure facilities.

The heart of Woolwich is approximately a 10-minute walk away and offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. Local favourites include The Guard House, Salt Woolwich and Boulangerie Jade. The nearby cultural hub Woolwich Works hosts exhibitions and live music, while the popular farmers’ market at Royal Arsenal Farmers’ Market takes place every second Saturday.

Residents also benefit from superb transport links, with a Crossrail/Elizabeth Line terminal located within the development providing rapid access into central London, alongside convenient riverboat services from the nearby riverside, making commuting and leisure travel effortless. DLR and National Rail are also close by within the heart of Woolwich.
