A perfect location for a walk in the sunshine

According to The Tree Council, regular walks reduce the stress and the risk of illness while also keeping you fit. In a bid to encourage the public to enjoy the wealth of parks, woods, trees and open spaces in the UK, The Tree Council has nominated May for ‘Walk in the Woods Month’.

Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Ltd’s development at Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, SE18 is the perfect location to enjoy a walk in the sunshine. The development features Wellington Park and is also within easy reach of nearby Bostall Woods.

Purchasers at My HQ, the largest and most impressive of the refurbished buildings at the development, have access to a new courtyard, which has been created at the heart of the building. It has been designed by architects Broadway Malyan, and provides residents with a tranquil and secluded place to relax.

My HQ offers a collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments and penthouses. The penthouses at MyHQ offer white laminate kitchens complete with Bosch appliances. The bathroom and shower rooms feature steel Kaldewki baths and double-sized shower trays as well as square ceramic basins, chrome ladder-style towel rails and ceramic tiled flooring. The apartments also benefit from pre-wiring for satellite television, electronic door entry system, secure underground parking and a dedicated 24-hour concierge and CCTV monitoring.

Royal Arsenal is conveniently located for easy access into the city. Woolwich Arsenal train station is a five-minute walk from the development and offers regular services to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Canon Street. Prices start from £200,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.

The development also features a residents’ only gym set in the renovated Shell Foundry Gatehouse, which provides a historic setting for a workout.

Those in pursuit of leisure activites would also be advised to enjoy the Riverside Walk that runs from the development alongside the River Thames towards London.

Purchasers seeking plenty of outdoor space, should consider Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Ltd’s Tabard Square development in Borough, SE1. The 40,000 square foot internal courtyard is now officially opened. It offers public access and a 3,400sq-ft sculptural pavilion that offers facilities for a bar and restaurant, which is set to become the hub of the community.

Just two penthouses remain for sale at Tabard Square. Prices start from £1.3 million, and all of the penthouses feature a highly contemporary specification. Lineana quattro Italian fitted kitchens come complete with Miele stainless steel appliances. Purchasers also benefit from a paved terrace and decked balcony, zonal underflooor heating system and a hard wired integrated audio visual system that includes ceiling speakers, wall-mounted control points and an Ipod docking station.

One of the apartments remaining for sale is located in the Elipse building, priced at £475,000. The apartment has been fitted out in a highly contemporary style and benefits from its own private balcony.
