Greenwich Academy, Deptford, SE10

Set between the historic Greenwich and the leafy Blackheath is this two-bedroom loft apartment within the renowned Greenwich Academy, a former school sensitively converted into unique apartments. The building’s distinguished character and architectural heritage have been carefully preserved, offering a rare blend of period elegance and contemporary design.

Occupying 1,023 square feet across two levels, this apartment combines impressive proportions with an atmosphere of warmth. Many of the building’s original features remain, paying tribute to its educational past while providing a home perfectly suited to modern living. The spectacular double-height ceilings, reaching up to 4.25 metres, create a sense of light and volume, while the magnificent classroom windows, fully restored and fitted with secondary acoustic glazing, ensure tranquillity and comfort throughout the year.

The living space is a generous open-plan reception and kitchen area, designed to celebrate the drama of the building’s height and scale. It is a space that invites both relaxation and entertaining, where period architecture meets contemporary style in perfect balance.

The apartment comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy. The main bedroom features a sleek, recently refurbished en-suite bathroom and a bespoke dressing area, creating a calm and self-contained retreat. A second double bedroom and a further recently refurbished bathroom complete the accommodation, reflecting the same attention to quality and detail found throughout the home.

Residents of Greenwich Academy benefit from a secure gated setting, with south-facing communal gardens offering a peaceful outdoor sanctuary and allocated parking providing convenience.

The position of the development is exceptional, within walking distance of Greenwich Village and its array of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as the vast open spaces of Greenwich Park, one of London’s most beautiful and historic green landmarks. Excellent transport connections are moments away, including Deptford Bridge (DLR), Greenwich Station (DLR and National Rail), and New Cross (London Overground), all offering swift access across London and beyond.
