Greenwich High Road, London, SE10

If your search for a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich is starting to feel like a sea of compromises, this one should reset the mood.

Set within Cowan House on Greenwich High Road, this bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers approximately 753 sq ft (70 sq m) of genuinely well-planned accommodation, together with a large west-facing balcony overlooking Deptford Creek.

And that 753 sq ft is put to great use.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room has enough space for each area to work properly. There is a breakfast bar for the morning coffee or laptop, room for a proper dining table and a comfortable lounge area without any of it feeling shoehorned in.

It is sociable when you want it to be, relaxed when you don’t, and flexible enough to cope with working from home, friends coming over or simply spreading out and enjoying the space.
Both bedrooms are good sizes too.

The principal bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is far more than the token spare room you often find in newer developments. It can comfortably work as a bedroom, home office or a combination of both.

There is also a separate main bathroom, giving you two bathrooms in total, together with a substantial internal storage cupboard that does a very good job of swallowing up suitcases, boxes, the hoover and all the other glamorous necessities of life.

Natural light is another big part of the appeal.

The apartment faces west towards Deptford Creek, so the afternoon and evening sun works its way across the living space before eventually finding its way onto the balcony.
And this is a balcony you can actually use.

There is room to sit out, work outside in the warmer months, have a drink at the end of the day or simply watch the creek go by. Swans, cygnets and herons are regular visitors, which is not necessarily what you expect when you are this well connected to central London.

Then there is the location.

Cowan House puts you in a particularly handy spot between Greenwich and Deptford, with a huge amount happening around you.

PureGym and Coffee and Beyond are close by for the everyday stuff, while Greenwich Market, Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory, Picturehouse and the Thames riverside are all within easy reach.

You are also spoilt for choice when it comes to eating and drinking locally, with Greenwich Morning, Grind, Richard The First, Davy’s Wine Bar, Trafalgar Tavern and plenty more nearby.
And when Monday morning comes around, Greenwich Station and Deptford Bridge DLR provide straightforward connections towards London Bridge, Canary Wharf, Lewisham and the wider London network.

So yes, this is a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich.

But it is also 753 sq ft of proper living space, two bathrooms, a great home-working set-up, a west-facing balcony over the water and one of south-east London’s best neighbourhoods sitting around you.

The apartment is leasehold with approximately 240 years remaining and has an EPC rating of B.

The floorplan and photographs will give you the facts.

The rest makes much more sense when you are standing inside it.

If this sounds like it could be your kind of home, give me a call and come and have a look.
