Thoroughly renovated under the current ownership, this wonderful one-bedroom apartment is located on the second floor of the handsome Grade II-listed former Royal Navy Victualling Yard in Deptford. With direct views over the Thames, the apartment has been executed to an impeccable standard in a largely neutral palette. Generous ceiling heights with structural beams above create a voluminous space, which is bathed in light from large windows that overlook the river and Queen Elizabeth steps. The apartment also has access to a large communal garden.

Setting the Scene
The building is believed to be a design of John Rennie the Elder, one of the principal civil engineers of the late 18th and early 19th century; the Victualling Yard, now known as Foreshore, was constructed between 1781-98 and played a pivotal role in the sustaining of the British Naval fleet through to the 1960s. Due to its historical significance, the entire surrounding area is listed, including the river wall. It is therefore exquisitely preserved, with a quiet street lying between the riverbank and Foreshore that provides free car parking.
