A lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere in south London has led to a surge in popularity and an increase in new property, says Anna Bowden.
Weston Homes offers chic London living at its Anderson Heights development, located in Norbury, south London. The five remaining apartments at this converted office block offer exceptional space and value.
The apartments are in excess of 1,200 sq ft, with some offering terraces that afford expansive views across south London and Crystal Palace. There are two basic choices of layout, which allows the buyer to decide whether to have the living, dining and kitchen area on the lower or the upper floor. The specification is excellent: more of the type you would expect in a much more expensive very central London apartment.
Anderson Heights has excellent transport links. A short walk to Norbury station will give you a connection to either London Bridge or Victoria that takes only 25 minutes. There is also a good selection of dining and drinking establishments in the local area, as well as sporting activities such as tennis and golf.
Homes start from just £240,000. Call the marketing suite, open daily from 10am to 5pm, on 020 8679 0666.
St George has made an agreement with the London Borough of Lambeth to purchase a 999-year lease for Vauxhall’s prestigious office building Sentinel Point, a deal which will continue the commercial success of its St George Wharf development. The developer has also confirmed the letting of a 5,000 sq ft retail space to Tesco, which expects to open an express store in 2005.
St George Wharf offers one million sq ft of living, retail and office space. When complete it will provide a variety of apartments and penthouses, a health and fitness centre, landscaped courtyards, a riverside promenade and a vibrant piazza lined with shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.
The development is also conveniently located directly opposite Vauxhall tube station, which offers easy access to the West End and a direct service to Clapham Junction and Waterloo stations for regional, national and Eurostar services. For prices at St George Wharf call 020 7471 4444.
