Features and description
This one-bedroom apartment lies on the third floor of a 1920s converted warehouse between Deptford and New Cross, south-east London. Thoughtfully designed for modern living by RCKa architects, and developed by Pocket Living, the apartment features high ceilings and ample natural light. The bars, restaurants and shops of New Cross, Deptford and Nunhead Green are close by, while Greenwich and Burgess Parks are both within easy cycling distance.
The Tour
This apartment is set within a smart red-brick building punctuated by wide, white-framed windows and ornate stuccoed detailing. A shared entrance with polished concrete flooring and exposed pillars leads to the apartment’s private entrance on the third floor.
Inside, a bright entrance hall with fitted storage leads to a welcoming open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining space, flooded with light care of two large windows that stretch across the width of the space.
Smart white cabinetry provides ample storage space in the kitchen, and there is an integrated dishwasher, oven and a fridge. A blue and white hand-painted splashback adds a pop of colour.
A double bedroom sits to the rear of the plan. It has a large window that fills the space with a wonderful quality of light, while there is space for storage concealed behind a curtain. A smart bathroom sits adjacent. There is a walk-in shower with glass panelling, a heated towel rail and fitted open shelving.
A utility cupboard provides additional storage and houses a washer/dryer.
Residents have access to a communal courtyard and a residents’ lounge. The building also has secure bicycle storage.
The Area
New Cross is a thriving area of south-east London with a growing cultural profile and many independent restaurants, bars and cafes. It is also home to Goldsmiths University and its Contemporary Arts Centre.
Arklow Road is a quiet street, ideally located for the highly regarded Elsewhere Roastery, which serves delicious coffees and flaky pastries, as well as the neighbourhood cafe Sylva, open for breakfast and lunch in the nearby Folkestone Gardens. Deptford High Street is a 12-minute walk away and has a wonderful local market, as well as some excellent bars and restaurants.
Favourite haunts include Buster Mantis, renowned for its Jamaican-inspired menu; Marcella (sister restaurant to Artusi in Peckham) for excellent homemade pasta and seasonal Italian cuisine; Sodo for sourdough pizza and natural wines; Jazu for cocktails and guest chef menus; and some of London's best Vietnamese restaurants. The Royal Albert is a popular local pub, renowned for its live music and regular sessions by some of London’s finest jazz musicians.
The charming Nunhead Green is a short cycle south-west and is home to a wide range of independent cafes, shops and restaurants, including Ayres Bakery and an independently owned garden store, the Nunhead Gardener.
Some of the city’s best parks are close by: the green expanses of Fordham Park are an eight-minute walk from the apartment, while Greenwich Park and Burgess Park are both within easy cycling distance. The Thames Path, offering views along the river, is a 15-minute walk from the apartment.
New Cross and Deptford rail stations are an eight and an 11-minute walk from the apartment, respectively. New Cross runs regular Windrush line services to Shoreditch High Street, Dalston Junction and Canada Water, while Deptford provides services to London Bridge and St Pancras International.
Please note that this apartment is part of the Pocket Living Programme. It can only be purchased by first-time buyers living or working in a London Borough, with a household income below the GLA Income Threshold set by the Mayor of London (currently set at £90,000 per annum).
