Top 3 things you love about your home 

Large west-facing balcony – we love to sit out in the summer and enjoy the view over the creek. We also enjoy having plants and vegetables growing – last year we had cherry tomatoes, strawberries and parsley growing.

The flat has large floor to ceiling windows giving a really bright space and again you can enjoy the view over the creek. There is lots of wildlife (resident swans, storks and sometimes kingfishers).

Safe & quiet – the development is very safe with secure entry, and excellent sound insulation. We have 4 neighbouring flats on our floor with 3 out of 4 lived in by the owners. 

Top 3 things you love about the area?

Lots of outdoor space to enjoy: being so close to Greenwich Park, the Royal Naval College and the Thames path. Beautiful historic places on our doorstep that you are able to enjoy. Great if you enjoy getting out walking or running. 

Walking distance to lots of cafes, pubs and restaurants in both Greenwich and Deptford. Minutes from the flat there are two great restaurants (one Turkish, one Japanese) and one of London’s top rated Chippies ‘The Golden Café’. We like to spend a Saturday having brunch at Coffee & Beyond, going for a walk through Greenwich Park and finishing the day with a drink at The Ashburnham Arms, a great local pub just 5 minutes away. It has a great sense of community, and we even had part of our wedding celebrations in the beautiful beer garden. 

The close proximity to numerous transport links: both Deptford Bridge and Greenwich station are a short walk from the flat, giving lots of commuting options for both the city and Canary Wharf. We can get to London City within 30 minutes, Gatwick and Luton airports in an hour and Heathrow just over an hour away.
