Local area focus – Bexleyheath
Bexleyheath has become a magnet for first-time buyers drawn in by its bustling community vibe, shops, cafes and bars, all just 27 minutes by train from London Bridge.
The former Kent coaching town, which became part of the London Borough of Bexley in 1965, offers exceptional value for money. There are not many London postcodes where you can buy a brand-new apartment for £285,000. But accessible house prices are far from its only asset.
Its retail offering centres on Bexleyheath Shopping Centre and there are plenty of lunch and brunch spots scattered around the compact town centre.
Leisure facilities cater equally for the active and those looking for a more relaxing night out. Sit back in the Edward Alderton Theatre or Cineworld, or venture to the five-a-side football centre or bowling alley for an action-packed evening activity.
In recent years the town centre has been rejuvenated through investment in homes and infrastructure. Bellway London has transformed the area around the old civic centre, where it is building 518 homes at Eastside Quarter. The development has brought 110 affordable homes to the town and created the Bexleyheath’s tallest building.
Road and rail links provide easy routes into London and across Kent, giving residents access to city and country in minutes.
Those in search of greenery can frequent Danson Park, which sits in the grounds of the historic Danson House, or take a four-minute cycle ride to Hall Place and Gardens, a Tudor house with stunning gardens, a butterfly house and plant centre.
Bellway London has released the final phase of homes at Eastside Quarter. Centrally located and with prices from £285,000, it’s easy to see why more than 90 per cent of the private homes built so far have been purchased by first-time buyers.
Residents have use of a gym, concierge service and roof garden with stunning views across Kent and London.
One-bedroom apartments currently start at £285,000 and you can buy a two-bedroom apartment from £366,500, homes ready to move into.
