With an average price of £546,437[1] for a flat in the London borough of Wandsworth, this popular leafy part of south west London is out of reach for many first time buyers. However, those eager to start climbing the property ladder in this flourishing area will be pleased to learn about the launch of St John’s Way on Saturday 13th November, an exciting new Peabody development available to purchase with Shared Ownership. With prices starting from £121,250 for a 25% share of a one bedroom flat – purchasers can secure a stylish new home, whilst reaping the rewards of living in one of the capital’s most vibrant and cultural hotspots.

Set in the heart of buzzing and well-connected Clapham Junction, SW11, the second phase of homes at St John’s Way comprises a superb collection of one, two and three bedroom Shared Ownership apartments. Thoughtful consideration has been given to the masterplan of the scheme, giving buyers a quality environment in which to live, work, play and relax. Inspired by the local area history and heritage, bespoke brick sculptures commissioned by Peabody will line St. John’s Way, cleverly combining contemporary architecture with past influences.

All of the Shared Ownership homes have been designed with a variety of lifestyles in mind. Bright, spacious and well-proportioned layouts feature high-quality interiors and superior specification. Floor to ceiling height windows ensure rooms are sunlit and light-filled, while photovoltaic solar panels harness the same energy forming part of the level 4 Code of Sustainability. Sleek and stylish kitchens come complete with a range of integrated Bosch appliances and open plan living/dining areas offer the ideal space to relax an unwind. Residents will also have access to a central courtyard, a new community hub and children’s play area and a 24-hour concierge service is on-hand for busy lifestyles.

Located in Zone 2, St John’s Way is just three minutes from the renowned transport hub of Clapham Junction, which offers fast and direct connections into London Waterloo or Victoria, perfect for commuting, shopping or an evening out in the capital. For a city escape, the Brighton coastline is also just an hour away. There is an abundance of boutique shops, deli’s bars and restaurants in nearby Battersea Rise, Lavender Hill and Northcote Road whilst Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common offer exceptional green spaces where residents can enjoy getting outdoors.

Andrew Peglau, Assistant Director of Marketing at Peabody, comments: “Wandsworth is such a popular area, yet many young professionals and families are priced out, so we are pleased to be able to offer this collection of apartments at an affordable price. Living at St. John’s Way really does offer the best of both worlds with easy access to London, yet the leafy enclaves of both Wandsworth and Clapham Common and the village atmosphere of Lavender Hill are all on your doorstep. We expect these apartments to be in high demand when they launch in November and would urge prospective purchasers to register their details as soon as possible.”

Prices at St John’s Way start from £121,150 for a 25% share of a one bed apartment, from £145,625 for a 25% share of a two bedroom apartment and from £196,250 for a 25% share of a three bedroom apartment.
