2 bed flat to rent

Jenkins Chapel House, Village Square SE18

A spectacular home for those who love to entertain.

Few homes offer the sense of occasion found here. Set within the magnificent Grade II listed former Church of St Michael and All Angels, this extraordinary duplex apartment combines breathtaking scale, historic architecture and contemporary luxury to create a home that is as impressive for entertaining as it is for everyday living.

One of only three newly created apartments within the former church, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable piece of architectural history. Originally constructed as part of the Royal Military Academy, the church dates back to 1902, with its magnificent Gothic Revival features now sensitively restored and brought together with a sophisticated modern interior.

From the moment you enter through the grand double timber doors, the scale and character of the property are immediately apparent. The entrance opens into an incredible main living space, where soaring vaulted timber ceilings, dramatic chandelier lighting, stone mullion windows and original stained glass create a spectacular backdrop for hosting friends, family and guests.

At approximately 1,855 sq ft, the principal living area is quite unlike a conventional apartment. There is a genuine sense of theatre and volume, with the mezzanine level and bedrooms overlooking the space below. Whether you're hosting a large dinner, drinks with friends or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the building, this is a home designed to make an impression.

The kitchen sits seamlessly within the space, finished in sophisticated navy cabinetry and equipped with a range of modern appliances. It provides the perfect setting for entertaining while remaining connected to the impressive living area. A guest WC and separate utility room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the mezzanine bedrooms make the most of the church's extraordinary architecture, overlooking the living space and offering captivating views of the original timber structure and stained glass windows. The principal bedroom features a luxurious en-suite shower room, while the separate family bathroom includes a freestanding bath.

Underfloor heating, ceramic tiled flooring and carefully considered contemporary finishes provide modern comfort throughout, while original timber panelling and architectural details preserve the building's unique sense of history.

Outside, the apartment forms part of the prestigious Royal Military Academy development, positioned alongside Woolwich Common. The gated development offers 24-hour concierge, beautifully maintained grounds, tree-lined avenues, manicured lawns and a historic cricket pitch, creating an impressive setting rarely found in London.

Connectivity is equally impressive, with the Elizabeth Line at Woolwich providing rapid access to Canary Wharf, The City, the West End and Heathrow. Woolwich Arsenal and Woolwich Dockyard provide further rail and DLR connections, while Blackheath Village, Charlton Village and The Royal Standard offer an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

This is not simply a two-bedroom apartment. It is a home with presence.

A rare and dramatic conversion offering extraordinary entertaining space, spectacular architecture and the opportunity to live within one of South London's most distinctive historic buildings.
