Commutability marks out Caspian Wharf in Bow

House buyers looking to shave time off their commute into central London should look no further than Berkeley Homes (South East London) Ltd’s Caspian Wharf development in Bow, E3. This canalside development of 82 private studio, one, two- and three-bedroom apartments is within walking distance two of Tube and two DLR stations.

Research by Work Wise Week and the AA discovered that a commuter with a daily journey of 54 minutes will spend 29 days a year travelling to and from work. Caspian Wharf is located within walking distance of both Langdon Park and Devons Road DLR stations, and Bromley-by-Bow and Bow Road Tube stations. This means that the journey time to Canary Wharf from both DLR stations is just 8 minutes, with the commute from Bromley-by-Bow to Canary Wharf taking 15 minutes.

If Caspian Wharf residents want to cut public transport out of their commute altogether, they can walk to Canary Wharf in just over half an hour, which is great for a commuter’s health, wealth and carbon footprint.

Piers Clanford, Managing Director of Berkeley Homes (South East London) Ltd, comments: “Berkeley Homes has a sustainable policy that we build our developments as close to pubic transport as possible. Caspian Wharf is one of the best located schemes in our portfolio and is an ideal development for anyone working in Canary Wharf or in central London.”

Those wishing to purchase at Caspian Wharf can now view a two-bedroom show apartment. Based at Leman Street in E1 (at the City Quarter development), the new show unit demonstrates how Caspian Wharf’s superior specification is fused with contemporary interior design.

The centrepiece of the design is a stunning, fully fitted Alno kitchen, with glossy white glass doors, concealed handles for a sleek profile, and a grey composite stone worksurface and matching splashback. The appliances are all stainless steel and include a Siemens oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer (or fridge with ice box in the smaller units), as well as an Elica telescopic glide extractor and touch control ceramic hob, chosen for their space saving qualities.

The main bathroom and en-suite also show Berkeley Homes’ renowned specification. Highlights include large format ceramic tiles, chrome finished ladder-style heated towel rails, mirrored bathroom cabinets with integral vanity shelf and feature lighting, white sanitaryware and Hansgrohe hardware. The bath in the main bathroom is double ended while the shower in the en suite is a walk-in style double sized model. Also as standard is underfloor heating, running throughout the department.

The show unit also has a balcony illustrating how the outside space will come alive at Caspian Wharf. If you are quick off the mark, you might be able to reserve one of only four remaining apartments with terraces. On offer with outside space are three three-bedroom penthouse apartments with terraces ranging from 518 sq ft to 1,426 sq ft in size, as well as a studio apartment with 361 sq ft terrace. Almost every apartment at Caspian Wharf will have some form of private outdoor area, most with views over Limehouse Cut towards Canary Wharf and beyond. Caspian Wharf will also have am outdoor landscaped podium and a communal terrace.

Current prices are from £205,000 for a studio, from £325,000 for a one-bedroom apartment, from £415,000 for a two-bedroom apartment and from £595,000 for a three-bedroom apartment.
