During the lockdown, people have developed a deep appreciation for the green spaces within the city. Incorporating visits to parks into their daily routines and enjoying socially distanced walks with friends has become a common practice. A survey conducted by the charity CPRE revealed that 54% of Londoners now place greater value on their local green spaces since the implementation of lockdown restrictions. The parks, commons, and communal gardens in London have provided immense comfort and solace, with access to green areas now considered an essential aspect of urban living.
In the vibrant neighborhood of Peckham in South East London, Peckham Place stands out for its remarkable landscaped communal gardens, providing a delightful space for residents to relax and enjoy. The allure of these gardens has attracted considerable interest among potential buyers, contributing to the development’s current success. The inclusion of a lush tree-lined pocket park, accessible to all, further enhances the essence of Peckham Place and fosters a sense of community. The development offers a variety of housing options, catering to different buyers and lifestyles, with apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms and available for private sale or through shared ownership. Combining contemporary and stylish homes with beautifully landscaped gardens, Peckham Place has captivated residents, resulting in over 50% of the homes already being sold.
James Munson, Head of Marketing for Notting Hill Genesis, comments:
With everyone spending more time at home in recent months and many still working from home, it has really highlighted the things that we value – outside space is definitely one of those. We believe that will continue and access to the outdoors will be a prerequisite for apartment homes in the capital. The properties at Peckham Place not only have private outdoor space in the form of a generous balcony or terrace, but the communal gardens will become a great place to socialise with neighbours, the new park provides a space for exercising outdoors and Peckham Rye is just around the corner. We have seen sales enquiries rise sharply in recent weeks as we move out of lockdown and buyers have really had time to think about what they want from their new living environment.
In addition to its diverse outdoor spaces, Peckham Place offers apartments with exceptional interiors designed for open-plan living and filled with an abundance of natural light. The living areas provide flexible space over one or two levels, while the apartments boast spacious bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms, including an en suite in the master bedroom. The chic matt grey kitchens are equipped with integrated appliances, and notable features such as integrated eco-recycling bins, low-energy recessed lighting, and fitted wardrobes in the master bedrooms enhance the overall appeal. Most apartments also include a paved terrace or balcony with glazed privacy screens, offering beautiful views of the landscaped gardens.
The thriving neighborhood of Peckham holds particular allure for first-time buyers looking to establish themselves in one of South London’s favorite “villages.” Approximately 70% of shared ownership purchasers at Peckham Place are first-time buyers. For private sale apartments, around 80% have been reserved through the Help to Buy scheme, providing an extra boost for those aiming to step onto the property ladder.
Peckham is beloved for its vibrant high street, brimming with shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as the expansive greenery of Peckham Rye Park and Common. The strong sense of local community that emerged during the lockdown is now flourishing as restrictions ease and businesses reopen.
