Durkan New Homes chose to develop in Greenwich because while some professionals prefer the new residential skyscrapers shooting up beside the main office blocks around Canary Wharf, many others are opting for a more tranquil lifestyle across the river in Greenwich.
Greenwich itself has much more to offer than just great maritime history and World Heritage. It has huge green spaces and a variety of restaurants and bars - from traditional old pubs to the latest fusion fashion, Greenwich really does have something for everyone. Home to a diverse mix of people and pursuits, this amazing corner of South East London is an attractive and dynamic place to live – just a stone’s throw away from the commercial centres of London.
Daniel Durkan of Durkan Estates comments: “The Selection offers luxurious living with high quality interior specification at very affordable prices. It is well positioned to take advantage of excellent transport links to Canary Wharf, as well as the City and the West End. There are numerous local amenities and leafy green parks, meaning The Selection offers an urban lifestyle with semi-rural benefits.”
The Selection is a stunning collection of 136 one and two bedroom apartments, two bedroom duplexes and three bedroom houses ranging from 662 sq ft to 1010 sq ft. Designed by Stock Woolstencroft Architects, the five storey building is an attractive combination of beige face brick, full height double glazed glass windows and steel framed balconies. Most homes have a view of the large landscaped central courtyard on the inside or overlooking a charming green adjacent to the building.
A journey to London Bridge from nearby Westcombe Park station takes less than 15 minutes, while North Greenwich on the Jubilee Line and the Greenwich Market DLR station are a short walk away providing quick links into central London. The A12 is only 5 minutes away providing access into central London, and the A2 joins the M25.
Not surprisingly, the first phase at the Selection has already sold out and homebuyers now have one last opportunity to purchase an apartment with 32 properties remaining in the final phase.
Daniel Durkan continues: “The sales success of the first phase of The Selection can mainly be attributed to its superb location and contemporary specification. However there are other benefits associated with buying a new build home. Purchasers at The Selection have found that there are many immediate and long-term savings associated to a brand new property over a second hand one, which provides peace of mind and real value for money. Not only is there no forward buying chain, but maintenance costs on a new property are low. Also, Greenwich Park will host the equestrian events of the 2012 Olympics, making The Selection a sound property investment.’’
The Selection is a fresh and exciting addition to one of London’s most vibrant communities, boasting striking contemporary architecture and stylish interior design. Large open-plan living areas are both bright and spacious providing a comfortable solution for a modern lifestyle.
The bathrooms feature luxury white Roca sanitary ware, polished chrome fittings and taps, an electric heated chrome towel rail and down lighters. The stylish fitted kitchen is by Lemon Grass and comes complete with stainless steel sink with mixer taps, an integrated Neff electric oven, hob and extractor hood as well as Norplan flooring.
Within a secure gated environment, each apartment benefits from video door entry, an underground parking space, a reception porter and CCTV surveillance. And for added peace of mind, Durkan Estates include a full 10 year NHBC warranty
For those who enjoy their luxuries and high tech gadgets, each apartment also boasts electric under floor heating and a pre-wired multimedia Smart House System that connects the stereo to speakers in all the rooms, provides wi-fi access and a satellite TV connection.
