3 bedroom apartment for sale

The Property

This beautifully presented riverfront apartment is located on the 5th floor and has been substantially altered by the present owners to create a luxurious contemporary home. A gallery hallway leads into a large, light filled reception/kitchen area with a high-quality German kitchen, large island unit and upgraded appliances, and access to one of the two balconies. Uninterrupted 180° river views towards Canary Wharf and the city are a particularly stunning feature of this room.

The apartment has three large double bedrooms, the master with en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and large balcony, and a guest bedroom also with en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobe. The third bedroom is currently used as a home office with two built in workstations. There is a family bathroom, utility room with sink and cupboards, and an abundance of built-in storage. Underground parking and a storage cage is also included.

The River Gardens also benefits from a 24-hour concierge, swimming pool, gym and tennis court.

Local Amenities

The River Gardens has proved popular with City professionals and is well located for Maze Hill mainline station, the DLR and river bus in Central Greenwich, and the Jubilee Line at North Greenwich. The local shops, bars and restaurants are just a short walk along the Thames Path.

Sellers comments

We were originally attracted to Greenwich and Blackheath by the historic buildings, riverside walks and the green open spaces, but we soon discovered that the warm, friendly community also made it a wonderful place to bring up a family. We have pretty much everything on our doorstep – restaurants, cafes, cinema, theatre, museums – so in spite of great transport links there’s little reason to venture into Central London, although the river bus is great for trips to Canary Wharf, London Bridge and beyond.

When we downsized from our family home we wanted somewhere spacious and light, but were very disappointed with newly built flats until we found the River Gardens. They were the only apartments with high ceilings, a large living area, proper sized double bedrooms and stunning views, however, the specification didn’t do justice to the location, and the space was poorly used e.g. there were three enormous bathrooms but no wardrobes. So we undertook a major upgrade which included adding a walk in wardrobe, utility room with a sink, a large kitchen, a home office and copious amounts of storage.

Having never lived in a flat we were a little anxious as we weren’t sure whether we’d hear our neighbours (we don’t), if we’d make friends (we did), and whether there would be a community (there is), we can now honestly say that it has been a delightful place to live. We’ve made good friends, have lovely neighbours, and feel very much part of a community. The pool and the private garden are big benefits, as is the River Gardens Café just five floors down which does a fantastic brunch and afternoon tea.

So, what can the next owners look forward to? Waking to the sound of crashing waves, the ebb and flow of life on the river, incredible views of the London skyline, amazing sunsets, and, on New Years Eve, your very own spectacular, city-wide fireworks display. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
