Russia Dock Road, London, SE16

Situated in the heart of the old docklands, once the largest dock in the world, and backing onto Russia Dock Woodland, the house benefits from a large open-plan kitchen and living room with ample natural light. The property is arranged over three floors, with a southerly facing rear garden.

This bright and spacious home comprises five bedrooms (one or more of which could be used as a home office or additional living room), three bathrooms (including two en-suites), an additional WC and a kitchen with reception room.

The kitchen has recently been fitted with quartz worktops, solid brass fittings, new cabinetry and integrated high specification appliances. The ground floor has engineered wood parquet flooring. All carpets and bathroom floors were recently installed.

The primary bedroom features an ensuite bathroom with integrated bathroom storage, rainfall shower and a view of Canary Wharf - spectacular at night, when lit up. The bedroom has triple fitted mirrored wardrobes and cupboards, Venetian blinds and overlooks the woodland. The main bathroom has a bath, rainfall shower, integrated wc and basin with storage and a large illuminated mirror with shaver socket. A third bedroom features two double built in wardrobes. Three of the five bedrooms have stunning views onto the woodland. Beds, kitchen appliances and free-standing wardrobes and curtains can be left at the property by mutual agreement.

Natural light is plentiful, thanks to Velux windows in the kitchen, second floor bathroom and on the top landing. The garden benefits from decked and paved areas, lighting, outdoor electrical sockets, a Keter shed and tap.

This exceptional home has recently been renovated to a high standard and offers double glazing, ample storage space, permit parking, metered communal heating and hot water and a beautiful woodland walk, leading to Canada Water and Surrey Quays.

Direct private gated access from the garden leads onto 5.2 acres of woodland and an ecological park. Russia Dock Woodland features a series of water channels and ponds, offering a haven for wildlife, including herons, kingfishers, dragonflies and bees. The woodland includes a games area, children’s play area, picnic spot and designated routes for cyclists and pedestrians, with illuminated paths at night.

Amenities in the local area include the historic Mayflower pub, a riverside rooftop restaurant and bar, the Brunel Museum, Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre, climbing wall, leisure centre, athletics centre, playing fields, library, city farm, Russia Dock Woodland, Stave Hill Ecological Park, Lavender Pond Nature Reserve, Southwark Park, Tesco Extra, Sainsbury’s, convenience stores and a number of schools and colleges, with a range of outstanding and good OFSTED ratings.

The River Thames, with its scenic river path, the woodland and the ecological park (with a raised viewpoint over the city) offer a peaceful antidote to busy city life.

Canada Water underground and Surrey Quays Shopping Centre are 0.7 miles and Rotherhithe Station is 0.8 miles from the property, with free parking close to Rotherhithe Station. London Bridge is a 15 minute cycle ride from the property. A ferry service offers regular crossings to Canary Wharf, London Bridge, Westminster and beyond.

The local area is set to benefit from a £5.6 billion Canada Water Masterplan investment, which will create new office space, amenities and a new high street.
