Last chance to buy stylish apartments at Altius for Christmas

First-time buyers have limited time left to choose their new home at George Wimpey's Altius development, close to the proposed 2012 Olympic Village in London.

The development offers a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, many with river views, and a limited number of stylish three-bedroom houses. Prices start from just £199,995.

Now there's the opportunity for would-be buyers to see just how well a brand new place at Altius will suit their lifestyle, with the stylish showhome open to view.

The three-bedroom ‘Elias' housetype offers a modern lifestyle for couples and families, with an open-plan kitchen and living room that's perfect for relaxed mealtimes and entertaining, and an en-suite to the master bedroom in addition to a main bathroom.

While the ‘Elias' enjoys balcony views from the master bedroom, the apartments take this a step further, with some boasting an amazing roof terrace-style balcony from the living room offering views to all four points of the compass.

The open plan living room/kitchen suits modern living - a place to chat while preparing dinner after a long day at work, or socialise with guests while cooking. The stunning balcony provides the perfect venue for after-dinner drinks or coffee as the sun goes down.

Close to local shops, bars and restaurants and within easy reach of the City for commuters, Altius is situated within walking distance of the proposed London 2012 Olympic Village in an area where a huge amount of regeneration is already underway.

For those who love an active lifestyle, Lee Valley Riding and Ice Centre, Springfield Rowing Club, a golf driving range and an equestrian centre are on the doorstep, plus a selection of health centres and leisure clubs.

Clapton train station is only a few minutes' walk from Altius, putting Liverpool Street just 10 minutes away. For those that drive, the A12, A13 and M25 are all within easy reach, plus London City Airport is only nine miles away.
