Langhorne Street, London

SOLD SUBJECT TO CONTRACT.
Positioned on the fringes of Woolwich Common is the former Royal Military Academy arguably one of South London’s most recognisable historic landmarks. Steeped in history and once frequented by statesmen, kings, generals and alike.

The pomp and ceremony of its previous life may have long gone but its beautiful grade II listed buildings have been retained and converted into wonderful homes. A chance now has arrived to own one such property.

This fantastic home is beautifully presented and offers a festival of space, period features and modern conveniences.

The accommodation is sizeable and features to the ground floor an entrance hall with light that fills the space from the windows of the half landing. Adjacent is the kitchen diner, an inspired space that is comfortable for entertaining guests whilst cooking too. The living room beyond is usefully open plan to the kitchen. Neutral colours, sash windows and plantation shutters are a theme throughout the house, however here we think they are at their most appealing.

A door from here leads to the rear of the entrance hall where you will find an ideal utility cupboard and a ground floor loo, which has white bevel edged tiles to dado height.

Climbing the full turning staircase to the first floor lets you appreciate some of the character this home has. The landing also has sufficient space to use as a study area, something the current owners do themselves.

The first floor also has two double bedrooms both providing adequate space for modern living. These are complemented by a modern bathroom suite.

Externally there is a rear garden. It’s not the biggest, however the owners have done a marvellous job of utilising every part of the space to create a green, peaceful, useful and welcoming enclave. It really is adorable, as is the rest of the property.

Alongside its numerous modern features are the reminders of its characterful fabric with high ceilings, sash windows and exposed brickwork. Additional benefits of; a private parking space, two ample loft spaces for storage, access to the onsite gym, concierge services (post collection / dry cleaning) secure bike storage and ability to rent additional storage lockers

The grounds are expansive, with wide boulevards, lawns, and, at is hub a cricket pitch believed to be the oldest in the country. There are of course the “mod cons” such as a 24 hour concierge, on site gym and residents parking within this gated community. There is also an allocated parking space included too.

West Cadets apartments are situated within access to bus routes and cycle ways to neighbouring areas and the A205 South Circular Road.

It is also sited within access to Woolwich major shopping hub with its many high street brands. For a more village type feel of independent shops, eateries and boutiques, there are Charlton village, Blackheath village and Blackheath Royal Standard.

For rail travel there are three stations within reach, namely Woolwich Elizabeth Line, Woolwich Dockyard and Woolwich Arsenal (with DLR services) all offering regular train services into the capital and beyond.
