3. Lust over some riverside property porn in SE8
Fancy living here? Mmm. Yes, we wouldn’t mind a bit of the City view and those sexy Danish dining chairs, and warm walnut flooring… Oh, hello! Sorry, didn’t see you there. Just enjoying the show flat at this redevelopment in “West Greenwich” (that’s estate agent speak for Deptford, right? Locals, do let us know – the gloriously grimy environs of Below the River’s Loughborough Junction HQ have recently, and amusingly, been dubbed “East Brixton” by the new Foxtons on the High Street).
But we digress. This flat is part of a new complex right on the water in a Grade II Listed former marine boiler factory, which once made engines for ships such as HMS Warrior. There are 247 one, two and three bedroom flats and and 10 live/work units – including 44 affordable homes, available through Hexagon Housing Association. And the development will also include a pedestrian walkway linking the riverside site with central Greenwich, a parade of new bars and restaurants and an exciting-looking new 38,000 square foot art exhibition space.
Prices start at £250,000 and peak at £850,000. Sales opened last week and 20 went immediately. Time to tap into the Government’s hotly-debated new Help to Buy scheme perhaps?
