Terrific terraces at Quad Apartments, E16
Perfect for enjoying everything from hot summer sunshine to cooler wintery days, the homes at Quad Apartments, include überhaus duplex apartments with amazing terraces that are up to 105sqm and provide the perfect place to sunbathe, dine al fresco and entertain friends. Released early due to the high demand, this is the latest phase at East City Point in Canning Town by Countryside Properties.
Unlike many London properties, which according to research by Marsh & Pearson can command a premium of up to 30% for terraces and balconies, especially during the summer months when these features are top of purchasers’ wish lists, the Quad Apartments all include terraces or balconies as standard.
Andrew Loveday, Sales and Marketing Director for Countryside Properties, commented: “Outdoor space is an essential ‘must have’ for buyers, especially in the summer months when people want to enjoy their leisure time with friends and family having BBQs and relaxing in the sunshine. At the Quad Apartments, all of the properties offer great outdoor space, especially the überhaus which have amazing terraces of up to 105 sqm.”
Andrew continues: “The great news is that thanks to the Help to Buy scheme, these exciting new apartments are available to first time buyers and second steppers. Quad Apartments are available from £185,000 for a one bedroom property, which means that with Help to Buy, purchasers need a deposit of £9,250, a mortgage for £138,750 and the remaining 20% is provided by an equity loan from the Government which interest free for the first five years.”
Following the success of the previous phases at East City Point, where over 140 homes have already been sold, The Quad Apartments offer a collection of one and two bedroom apartments, penthouses and two and three bedroom überhaus. Featuring extensive outdoor space, the überhaus range includes eight large 2 and 3 bedroom duplex apartments that are ideal for families living in the capital.
Stylishly designed with an excellent specification, properties include contemporary fully fitted kitchens, luxury bathrooms and flooring throughout. They also boast impressive green credentials with every new home being heated by E.ON’s District Heating System which is highly energy efficient. The system, which is located in the Energy Centre, provides instantaneous hot water and reduces carbon emissions by around 25% compared to traditional gas heating. E.ON expects there to be cost savings of around 20% compared to regular gas heating.
Well planned interiors feature fully fitted handleless kitchen units teamed with laminate worktops and matching upstands. A full range of integrated appliances include stainless steel single electric oven, electric ceramic hob with glass splashback and extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer. A single bowl sink with chrome mixer tap, pelmet lighting to the wall units, ceiling, downlighters and ceramic floor tiles complete the kitchen.
At the forefront of Canning Town’s urban renewal, East City Point is a RIBA Design Award winning development which, once complete, will provide 649 new homes and primary school. Work has already commenced on the new Keir Hardie Primary school which is due to be completed in June 2014 in time for the start of the new school year in September.
As an area experiencing extensive regeneration and on-going investment, with fantastic new amenities such as shops, offices, and a health centre, Canning Town and neighbouring Custom House offer an exciting and vibrant place to live. Nearby Rathbone Market is also being rejuvenated around a brand new market square.
Perfectly located for commuting across the capital, the Jubilee Line, DLR and buses call at nearby Canning Town station (10 minute walk) and allow travel to Canary Wharf in just five minutes and Central London in 15 minutes. The new DLR extension links to Stratford International Station for local services, as well as Eurostar services to Paris, Brussels and beyond. London City Airport is also nearby with direct connections to many UK and European destinations. There is huge on-going investment to further improve transport links including a Crossrail station at nearby Custom House which is now on site and will be operational in 2017.
Road connections are also good with the adjoining A13 leading directly out of London to the M25, 12 miles east of Canning Town. The M11 is approximately six miles to the north of Canning Town via the A13/A406.
