Waterfront properties have lifestyle benefits

Fairview New Homes has released river view apartments at Thames Waterside in Greenhithe. These two-bedroom new homes directly overlook the River Thames and some have views of the iconic Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and beyond.

“Thames Waterside is in a really spectacular location; in the centre of Greenhithe, two minutes from the train station, five minutes from a broad variety shops, restaurants and cafes, and directly fronting the River Thames,” explains Jim Holliday, sales director at Fairview . “Those that have visited the development have really been taken aback by the views and, for some, this has been the decision-making factor in the buying process.

“We have taken into account that living next to water decreases stress levels, promotes a healthy lifestyle and helps people to relax, especially after a long day at work. This means that nearly all of our new apartments have balconies, many of the apartments have direct or partial views of the Thames and the public landscaped gardens really take advantage of the waterfront position, with walkways and benches running alongside the bank of the river.”

At Thames Waterside, homebuyers have the opportunity to purchase courtyard, garden and river apartments from £149,995. River apartments are priced from £224,995.

Thames Waterside is ideally placed for all the amenities of Greenhithe; next to an Asda superstore and a short drive from the well-known Bluewater shopping centre which has a choice of over 330 stores, 40 cafes, bars and restaurants and a 13-screen cinema.

The journey to London Bridge from Greenhithe train station takes approximately 38 minutes, perfect for the commuter or those looking to visit the capital on weekends. Eurotunnel terminal at Ebbsfleet is around three and a half miles away allowing easy access to the continent, with trains to London St Pancras in 17 minutes.

Greenhithe is part of the Thames Gateway Regeneration project that has received large amounts of funding from the government over the past decade to transform it into the thriving and aspirational area it is today.

The town has a large number of local restaurants, pubs and bars and has the largest number of green spaces and parks in the borough. For the more active, there are many local activities with the Kent countryside just moments away, local river walks and outdoor activities based from Bluewater, including cycling, rock climbing, boating and fishing.
