TUCKED away at the end of the Docklands Light Railway and on the main line to London Bridge, Lewisham is considered one of the next big niche property investment opportunities in London, says Gareth Katz, MD of Shorevest Property.

He says it is ideal for those wishing to take advantage of increased affordability coupled with the promise of impressive regeneration plans.

“This two-week period provides the opportunity of investing in Zone 2, only a few minutes train ride from the centre of town, but without the high prices of Kensington or the city slicker prices of Docklands.”

He says several apartments of the Silkworks residential scheme have balconies or roof terraces, providing cool, contemporary urban oases. Interiors have been intelligently crafted for today’s modern life styles, with designer kitchens and areas for living and entertaining. Energy-efficient kitchen appliances, low water-use bathroom fittings, solar thermal hot water and low energy-use light fittings are used throughout.

Katz says large windows bring in light, and spacious rooms with finishes of the highest order and specifications of an exceptional standard combine to complete the offering at Silkworks.

Ideal for the time-conscious commuter, Silkworks is about 250m from Elverson Road Docklands Light Railway station, which offers journey times to Canary Wharf of 15 minutes, and to the Bank underground station of 25 minutes. In addition, the Zone 2 location provides a substantial cost saving for commuters travelling in and around London, he says.
