2 bedroom for sale, Greenwich High Road, London, SE10

Some apartments look good on paper. This one works even better in real life.

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

The size is immediately noticeable.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is generous enough to feel properly zoned, with space for cooking, eating, relaxing and working without everything competing for the same few square feet.

There is room for a full dining table, a comfortable lounge area and a breakfast bar, making the space equally suited to quiet evenings, working from home or having friends round.

The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is a proper room in its own right rather than an afterthought.

It gives you genuine flexibility, whether you need a second bedroom, home office, guest room or a combination of the two.

A separate main bathroom serves the rest of the apartment, while a substantial internal storage cupboard takes care of the practical side of day-to-day living.

Then there is the balcony.

West-facing and overlooking Deptford Creek, it gives the apartment a far more open feel than you often find in modern developments.

It catches the afternoon and evening light beautifully and is large enough to actually use, whether that means coffee in the morning, working outside in summer, drinks at the end of the day or simply sitting back and watching the water.

The outlook brings its own character too, with swans, cygnets and herons regularly passing along the creek.

The location is another major strength.

Cowan House places you within easy reach of Greenwich town centre, Greenwich Market, Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory and the Thames riverside, while Deptford brings another excellent mix of cafés, restaurants and independent businesses nearby.

PureGym and Coffee and Beyond are close at hand for everyday convenience, while local favourites such as Richard The First, Davy’s Wine Bar and Trafalgar Tavern are all within easy reach.

For commuters, Greenwich Station and Deptford Bridge DLR provide straightforward links towards London Bridge, Canary Wharf, Lewisham and the wider London network.

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

What makes this one compelling is the balance.

You are not choosing between space and location.

You are not choosing between a second bedroom and a home office.

And you are not choosing between outside space and a strong London connection.

Here, you get all of it.

If you are searching for a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich SE10 and want something that feels like a proper home rather than simply another flat, this is one to come and see.
