Marlborough Road, Woolwich

A distinctive and characterful split-level apartment set within Building 46 at the historic Royal Arsenal Riverside development in Woolwich. This impressive warehouse conversion combines striking industrial heritage with contemporary living, creating a unique home that will appeal to buyers looking for something a little different.

The apartment is arranged over two levels and offers a bright, spacious and flexible layout. Upon entering the lower level, you are welcomed by a generous reception room with excellent proportions, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. The impressive ceiling height and mezzanine above enhance the sense of space and architectural interest. Also on this level are two well-sized bedrooms together with a family bathroom/WC, making this floor both practical and comfortable for everyday living.

Above, the mezzanine level forms the heart of the home. The kitchen overlooks the reception area below in a stylish duplex arrangement, providing a sociable setting that feels open yet defined. This level also hosts a particularly large principal bedroom complete with its own en-suite bathroom, offering a private retreat away from the main living areas.

The property further benefits from allocated parking, a valuable addition within this sought-after riverside development.

Building 46 itself forms part of the historic Grand Stores, originally constructed between 1806 and 1813 as part of the Royal Arsenal complex. The building once played a role in the storage and supply of military equipment when the site operated as one of Britain’s most important armaments manufacturing centres. At its peak, the Royal Arsenal employed tens of thousands of people and was central to the production and testing of weapons for the British armed forces. Today, the beautifully restored warehouse buildings retain their historic character while providing distinctive residential homes within a landscaped riverside setting.

Royal Arsenal Riverside has become one of South East London’s most desirable riverside communities. Residents enjoy attractive open spaces, riverside walks and a growing selection of cafés, restaurants and local amenities, as well as cultural venues including nearby Woolwich Works.

For transport, Woolwich Arsenal Station is approximately 0.2 miles from the apartment (according to Google), providing both National Rail and DLR services. The nearby Woolwich Elizabeth Line Station is around 0.3 miles away (according to Google) and offers fast connections across London and beyond. From here, Canary Wharf can be reached in approximately 8 minutes on the Elizabeth Line (according to Google). The area is also well served by regular bus routes, while the nearby Woolwich Ferry provides convenient access across the River Thames.

Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and characterful home within one of South East London’s most historically significant riverside settings, combining period architecture with excellent connectivity and modern convenience.
