Now that spring has officially begun, residents of Fairview’s Thames Waterside in Greenhithe, Kent, can take advantage of the longer days living next to the river. The communal landscaped gardens at the development have been purposely designed for enjoying outside space, with tree-lined avenues for leisurely walks, a play area for children and many areas for picnicking and soaking up the sun.

As well as spending free time in the gardens, most of the apartments have balconies which provide an ideal place for alfresco dining as the weather warms up, or to relax in the privacy of your own home after a day at work.

“Thames Waterside is a great location to embrace the spring weather, with magnificent views across the Thames and towards the iconic Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, and outdoor spaces for residents to unwind and socialise in,” Jim Holliday, Sales Director of Fairview New Homes comments.

With summer on the mind, holiday plans are an easy reality to Thames Waterside residents. The Eurotunnel terminal at Ebbsfleet is just three and a half miles away allowing easy access to the continent, and national trains take just 17 minute to London St Pancras for weekend breaks in the capital.

At Thames Waterside, homebuyers have the opportunity to purchase courtyard, garden and river apartments from £159,995. River apartments are priced from £199,995.

Thames Waterside is ideally placed for all the amenities of Greenhithe; next to an Asda superstore and a short drive from the well-known Bluewater shopping centre which has a choice of over 330 stores, 40 cafes, bars and restaurants and a 13-screen cinema.

Greenhithe is part of the Thames Gateway Regeneration project that has received large amounts of funding from the government over the past decade to transform it into the thriving and aspirational area it is today.

The town has a large number of local restaurants, pubs and bars and has the largest number of green spaces and parks in the borough. For the more active, there are many local activities with the Kent countryside just moments away, local river walks and outdoor activities based from Bluewater, including cycling, rock climbing, boating and fishing.

For more information and prices please contact the marketing suite Tel: 0800 883 8193. Or visit: www.fairview.co.uk. The marketing suite is open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm.

Thames Valley Housing is now selling new homes at Queen Mary’s Place in Roehampton, available through Shared Ownership, to prospective buyers who live and/or work in the south west London boroughs; Wandsworth, Sutton, Merton, Kingston, Richmond, Lambeth and Croydon. Previously, sales were restricted to those who lived or worked in the borough of Wandsworth only.

An open day will be hosted at Hurlington Court, Queen Mary’s Place, Roehampton Lane, SW15 5EY, on Saturday 7th May for prospective buyers to have the opportunity to speak to the sales team about the Shared Ownership buying model and the process of purchasing a new home with Thames Valley Housing.

Hurlington Court has been built to an exceptional standard by St James Homes, offering buyers a rare opportunity to buy into some of the highest quality new build properties in the area affordably. Purchasers can buy brand new studios, one bed and two bed apartments, with prices starting from £50,625 for a 25% share in a studio apartment priced at £202,500.

Kush Rawal Head of Sales and Marketing for Thames Valley Housing, comments: “Hurlington Court is the final phase of affordable apartments at Queen Mary’s Place, so interest in them has been understandably high. Now that we are able to offer the sale of these homes to a broader audience, enquiries are likely to increase dramatically.

“Buying a property in Hurlington Court is a great way for first-time buyers to step onto the property ladder in an apartment they can be proud of. These exceptional quality homes offer luxurious living in London with an affordable price-tag, giving those struggling to become a home-owner the opportunity to enter the property market,” concludes Mr Rawal.

Queen Mary’s Place is a development of luxury apartments set in 14 acres of landscaped grounds on the site of the Grade I Listed Roehampton House, dating from 1710. The new properties are designed in keeping with the architecture and prestige of Roehampton House whilst offering the best of contemporary London living, with high standards of workmanship, design and high quality specification. The historic gardens have been carefully restored and new communal landscaped areas have been created. In addition, there is a gym on site for all residents.

Hurlington Court is situated in Roehampton village, which has been popular since the 18th and 19th centuries with aristocrats and royalty because of its celebrated parkland. Richmond Park is the largest of the parks near to the development, with 2,500 acres of grassland and woodland; a haven for horse-riders, cyclists and walkers, as well as golfers and tennis players.

However, the area is not by any means remote, as Putney and Barnes station is one and half miles away from the development, with a Resident shuttle bus running to Putney station in peak afternoon and morning periods. Nearby Barnes railway station connects to Clapham Junction and Waterloo, meaning residents can be in the City in just 20 minutes – perfect for commuters.

In addition, there are a variety of locations for shopping , eating and going out in the nearby vicinity, including Putney Exchange, Richmond village, Kew, Barnes, East Sheen and Wimbledon village, all within a five mile radius.

The interiors of each apartment at Hurlington Court are built to a very high standard with stylish and modern features such as continental designer kitchens, fully integrated fridge-freezers and dishwashers, programmable heating systems, fitted wardrobes to main bedrooms and lifts to all occupied floors.

All the properties at Hurlington Court are available through the Shared Ownership part-buy, part-rent government-led initiative, aimed at helping first time buyers, and those looking for help to buy their own home, get on the property ladder. To apply for this scheme, purchasers need to have an annual household income of between £18,000 and £60,000 and qualify for Homebuy.
