Half Of First Phase Of Bermondsey Homes Snapped Up

Nearly half the apartments on the first phase of the Bombay Street development in Bermondsey were purchased on launch day, and continued success means there are just two properties remaining for sale.

Agent KALMARs has revealed that enquiries have been encouraged by the Chancellor’s Stamp Duty Land Tax reduction, the apartments’ impressive specification, including private balconies, and the enviable location in the heart of vibrant Bermondsey. Buyers are from London and other parts of the UK, with one purchaser travelling from Yorkshire on the day of the launch.

This brand new development offers a diverse mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Prices started from £450,000, £600,000 and £695,000 for a one-, two- and three-bedroom unit respectively. Sizes of apartment range from 560 sq ft up to 1,227 sq ft.

Bombay Street has been designed by leading architectural practice Ackroyd Lowrie to maximise natural light, with open-plan living areas creating a feeling of light and space, aided by floor-to-ceiling windows. Each apartment benefits from a private outside balcony, with a rooftop communal terrace on the fifth floor of the building providing views across the new ‘biscuit town’ area and wider City.

The interior design of the flats takes inspiration from influential local institutions such as the Fashion and Textile museum. The kitchens feature handleless design matt laminate units, solid surface worktops and recessed LED lighting to the underside of the wall units. Bathrooms are fitted with contemporary white sanitary ware with chrome fittings, heated towel rails, porcelain tiles, and concealed thermostatic shower and bath valves.

In terms of internal finishes, each apartment at Bombay Street comes with a timber veneer entrance door, white flush internal doors and contemporary satin ironmongery. Whole-house ventilation systems, underfloor heating and engineered timber flooring can be found throughout.

Marc Faure, head of new homes at KALMARs, says: “We’re delighted to see that virtually all the apartments at Bombay Street have sold so quickly. The sales success is testament to the development’s exceptional design and great location, providing desirable homes for Londoners”.

Both Bermondsey on the Jubilee line and South Bermondsey, which connects to National Rail, are approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Bombay Street, while London Bridge station for the Northern line and Jubilee lines can be reached in a 25-minute walk. The City is easily accessible via the tube from London Bridge or the number 47 bus from nearby St James's Road.

The remaining three-bedroom apartments at Bombay Street are on sale for £695,000 and £715,000 respectively.
