NO CHAIN

Built six years ago, this smart and compact Georgian-style townhouse stands in a very attractive riverside development in the heart of a property hot spot. It makes a lovely, easy-to-maintain and convenient home for owner-occupiers but is also ideal for the rental market in an area where there is high demand from young professionals.

This three-storey house has two reception rooms and three double bedrooms, with the flexibility to arrange it as a four-bedroomed property if preferred. The layout makes it highly suitable for house-sharers as well as for a family. There is a compact but well equipped modern kitchen with a good range of two-year-old appliances included: electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. There are two bathrooms (one en suite) and a downstairs toilet. The light and airy living/dining area has French doors to a pretty and low-maintenance garden with a patio area that gets the sun all day. An additional benefit is off-street parking on the private front driveway.

There is a neutral décor throughout and the property is very clean and maintained in “ready to move into” condition. Living rooms and bedrooms all have vertical blinds at the windows and new wood laminate floors, with the modern look offset by character details such as sash windows and traditional-style radiators. The kitchen and bathrooms have ceramic tiled floors and the two staircases and landings are carpeted. There is plenty of storage space, including fitted closets in two bedrooms, an understairs cupboard and a large, part-boarded loft with lighting and a ladder for easy access.

The house is in Cadogan Road, Royal Arsenal. As the name implies, it is a historic former military armaments site just outside Woolwich and close to Greenwich. It has been substantially redeveloped to a high standard, blending heritage and modern architecture and sympathetic landscaping. There is a concierge office and private residents’ gym, a business centre, two museums, an excellent shop selling delicatessen, wine and organic produce and there are three coffee shops on site, which also benefits from private security patrols and CCTV. Within months, the first of a number of bars and restaurants will open on the development and that is due to be followed by a cinema, more shops and a health centre. Nearby Woolwich town centre is also being extensively regenerated ahead of the 2012 Olympics so this already thriving community is very much “on the up” with property prices set to rise.

Transport links are excellent and are set to get even better. Train services can take you into Waterloo, Cannon Street or Charing Cross in under half-an-hour. There are excellent bus services, linking in to the Jubilee Line at North Greenwich and beyond. The DLR is currently being extended to Woolwich Arsenal, putting it just two stops from London City Airport and a short hop further to Canary Wharf when the extension opens in early 2009. There is also a popular river boat service that reaches the O2 entertainment complex in seven minutes, Canary Wharf in 20 minutes and central London in about 45 minutes. Royal Arsenal is also on the route of the proposed Crossrail transit system. For travelling across the River Thames by car, the property lies between the Blackwall Tunnel and the Dartford Crossing and is minutes away from the free Woolwich ferry service, which can be used by car or as a foot passenger.

This is a great opportunity to buy one of only a small number of houses on this quality development before the next boom. It has a current rental value of approx £1250 per month. The property is leasehold (992 years remaining) and is covered by NHBC insurance until 2012.

A Home Information Pack is available to people with a serious interest in buying the property.
