A bachelor’s paradise at Pier Road
Genesis’s development at Pier Road, North Woolwich, is a bachelor’s paradise, with all the style and space today’s man-about-town needs for a truly enviable lifestyle, and in a location that offers all the convenience, interest and street cred he could wish for. Yet generous interiors and thoughtful planning also make the 25 apartments ideal for the time when bachelor days are over.
Buyers can purchase between 25% and 75% and increase their share at any time, all the way to 100% and outright ownership. Pier Road is available to anyone who does not already own a property and is unable to buy a home on the open market. Their total household income must be less than £60,000 per annum and ideally they must have savings of around £3,500 to cover moving and legal costs.
Bachelorhood is all about work, rest and play – on your own terms. Pier Road has all three covered. Work can be just around the corner: less than a five-minute walk away is King George V DLR station which offers services to London City Airport, Canary Wharf, Stratford and Bank in less than 30 minutes. Rest is a given in the airy, spacious apartments, each one with a balcony perfect for lazy summer days and living rooms and bedrooms easily big enough to accommodate wide-screen TVs, oversized sofas and king-sized beds.
And play? With the world’s most exciting city right on the doorstep and the Royal Victoria Gardens across the street, the possibilities are endless. And thanks to Genesis’s shared-ownership scheme, purchasers can enjoy premium living without the premium price, saving money to spend on the ultimate bachelor’s lifestyle. Prices start at just £53,890 for a 25% share, based on a full market value of £215,560.
The secure, gated community boasts landscaped communal outdoor areas. Unlike the tight proportions and open-plan layout of many modern flats, each apartment is generously sized and thoughtfully planned for flexible living. The spacious, decked balconies are big enough for dining al fresco while some apartments also maximise flexibility by including a separate kitchen. All apartments have key fob entry system, bicycle storage space and a wood-decked balcony.
Pier Road is situated in the heart of the historic Royal Docks, close to Canary Wharf’s 200-plus shops, bars and restaurants. Nearby Docklands and the O2 arena provide a variety of entertainment and leisure attractions, while the serenity of some of London’s most idyllic parks – including Royal Greenwich Park – offer an escape from the buzz of London Docklands.
The southern bank of the River Thames can be reached by the Woolwich foot tunnel, via the Woolwich car ferry or by a three-minute DLR journey. From Woolwich, national rail services enable you to get to Greenwich and London Bridge in 25 minutes. Crossrail is due to arrive in 2017, providing fast access to central London and Heathrow.
Prices start from as little as £53,890 for a 25% share in a two bedroom apartment based on a full market value of £215,560.
