Homebuyers drawn to life in the capital are often faced with a choice between the energy of the eclectic neighbourhoods and the calmness of other city communities. For aspiring homebuyers, Deptford removes the need to choose. With the buzz of Deptford High Street, the vibrancy of an artistic atmosphere and the tranquillity of a Thameside backdrop, Deptford delivers an effortless blend of calmness and energy. Peabody New Homes celebrated the launch of its new collection of Shared Ownership homes at Deptford Edge on Saturday 20th June.
Offering a range of modern and flexible one and two-bedroom apartments, Deptford Edge has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Balancing aesthetic detailing with functional elegance, open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces are ideal for hosting guests or working from home. Matte green kitchen units, LED underlighting and a selection of integrated appliances keep spaces looking sleek. Bathrooms and en-suites contrast concrete effect porcelain tiling, with sleek chrome fixtures. Providing additional space to enjoy, each home features a light-filled private balcony.
Consciously designed to reflect the Passivhaus principles, sustainable design has been incorporated throughout. Not only does this improve energy efficiency but also support residents with notable savings on their energy bills. Homes are built to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round, reduce energy consumption, reduce noise transmission and provide fresh filtered air.
Terence O’Connor, Head of Sales for Deptford Edge comments: “Buyers in the capital don’t want to choose between the best bits of life in the city and Deptford Edge proves that they don’t have to. With a vibrant independent culture, verdant tranquility and exceptional connectivity, Deptford can deliver the right rhythm of life for every moment. And with homes at Deptford Edge available through Shared Ownership, this is an opportunity for aspiring buyers to take their first steps onto the property ladder in one of south east London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.”
