Strikingly atmospheric and crafted for those who love homes with character, this remarkable Grade II listed church conversion offers dramatic architecture, soaring spaces and rare historic beauty reimagined for luxurious modern living.
A truly exceptional home for buyers searching for something wonderfully different, this extraordinary 2055 sq ft apartment sits within a Grade II listed church conversion inside the Royal Military Academy, one of South East London’s most iconic and historic gated developments. Formerly the Church of St Michael and All Angels, this newly created residence is one of just three brand-new apartments carved from the original structure, offering a rare opportunity to own a slice of reimagined heritage.
The church’s foundation stone was laid in 1902, and its breath-taking Gothic Revival architecture has been beautifully restored, blending craftsmanship of the past with refined contemporary design. Large timber double doors open into a welcoming vestibule with storage, and adjacent stands one of the home’s most distinctive features, a spiral staircase housed within an octagonal tower with arrow slit windows.
From the vestibule, the reception room sets an immediate tone of drama and character, framed by stained-glass windows, large ceramic floor tiles, and original detailing retained from its former ecclesiastical use. A stylish ground-floor shower room/wc occupies the second octagonal tower, finished with metro tiles, arrow-slit windows and a sleek modern suite.
A door leads to the showpiece of the home, a spectacular open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with an immense vaulted ceiling and a huge arched feature window resting over exposed brickwork, marking where the church altar once stood. This vast space underlines the scale of the home, with 2055 sq ft arranged across dramatic multi-level living. The kitchen, finished in elegant navy cabinetry with modern appliances, strikes a perfect balance between heritage charm and contemporary luxury. Beautiful carved chancel screens sit on either side, adding remarkable architectural depth.
From here, access leads to one of the bedrooms, complete with vaulted ceilings, stained-glass windows with stone mullions, and ceramic tiled flooring.
Back in the main vestibule, the spiral staircase climbs to the first floor, revealing the principal bedroom. This stunning space enjoys an enormous stained-glass window, a vast vaulted ceiling, and an en suite shower room/wc set within one of the octagonal towers. The same staircase also descends to a basement level for additional storage.
A further staircase from the kitchen area leads to the mezzanine bedroom, a dramatic vantage point overlooking the grand living spaces below, offering captivating views of the colourful stained glass and the impressive arched window. This bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room/wc and a useful storeroom.
The Royal Military Academy remains one of South London’s most recognisable historic landmarks — tree-lined boulevards, manicured lawns, 24-hour concierge and even one of the country’s oldest cricket pitches create an unmistakable sense of grandeur. Positioned beside Woolwich Common, the location offers excellent access to the Elizabeth Line at Woolwich, along with DLR and National Rail services. Blackheath Village, Charlton Village, The Royal Standard and Woolwich town centre provide an appealing mix of independent cafés, pubs, restaurants and shops.
Dramatic, historic, atmospheric and absolutely one of a kind, this 2055 sq ft home is designed for individuals who want something truly extraordinary rather than something purely practical.
