This month, Peabody has unveiled a new two-bedroom show home at their award-winning Southmere development in Thamesmead, South East London – and to demonstrate the versatility of the spacious homes, is hosting an exclusive interiors event for potential purchasers.
On Saturday 12th November, Peabody along with Suna, invite potential purchasers to the VIP event, offering insider interior tips from the award-winning designers, followed by two interactive lessons, helping guests to understand how best to utilise space in the modern apartments. The Southmere sales team will also be on hand to answer any questions about the new homes available through Shared Ownership. On top of this, if guests reserve a home within 5 days of attending the workshop, they will receive an exclusive £1,500 voucher towards furnishing their new home.*

Perfect for first-time buyers, Peabody’s collection of 2 and 3-bed apartments at Crane Court are available to purchase with Shared Ownership, a scheme which lowers some of the financial barriers associated with buying a first home. Through Shared Ownership, purchasers buy a percentage of their home, and pay rent on the remaining portion. A deposit and mortgage is only required for the share they are buying, meaning homes at Southmere can be purchased with a deposit of just £5,925.**

Lisa Crush, Sales Director at Peabody, comments, “We are thrilled to be inviting prospective purchasers to join this interactive session with our fantastic show home designers at Southmere. We appreciate how overwhelming it can be selecting the interiors for your new home; from furniture placement, to the colour scheme, to the accessories you choose, so this exclusive session with Suna will be a valuable opportunity to realise the full potential of the apartments at Southmere.”

“It’s also great to be holding part of the event at Thamesmead’s The Nest, offering a Civic Centre and library on the lakeside. The space will provide a range of community services and activities for local residents, with a variety of study areas, meeting rooms and public space on the mezzanine floor – becoming a vibrant new hub for the quickly growing community.”

A rarity for a Shared Ownership development, residents will have access to impressive facilities, offering exclusivity and value for money. A home at Crane Court includes access to an exclusive podium garden, and homeowners will benefit from purpose-built amenities including a concierge service, residents’ lounge, meeting rooms and workspaces – opening early next year. A communal bicycle storage on the ground floor also encourages residents to explore the local landscape on two wheels.

Homes at Crane Court are unapologetic in their high quality design and finish, offering a contemporary blank canvas for any homeowner looking to make their mark on their new home – perfect for those hoping to pick up some tips at the event. Designed to create a contemporary feeling of space within the homes, open-plan living/kitchen/dining areas have been thoughtfully designed with clear zoned areas, while large windows allow vast amounts of light into apartments. With most homes benefiting from inset balconies, first-time buyers can enjoy this private space throughout the year and truly benefit from every inch of their home without compromise.

Offering a unique opportunity to benefit from the capital’s newest transport route, residents can travel on the Elizabeth Line and reach Canary Wharf in just 11 minutes, Liverpool Street in 17 minutes and Tottenham Court Road in 23 minutes††. This adds to the existing transport connections which link Abbey Wood to the rest of London.

Prospective buyers, who have registered their interest in the scheme, are invited to contact the Southmere Sales Team for the chance to join a session on the day. Attendees will leave filled with inspiration and top interior design tips for their new home at Southmere.
