ORCHARD WHARF DEVELOPMENT IN CANNING TOWN PROVIDES ONE OF DOCKLAND’S LARGEST COLLECTIONS OF FIRST TIME BUYER APARTMENTS

Leading London property developer Galliard Homes has launched the second phase of their Orchard Wharf development in Canning Town which provides one of the largest collections of first time buyer apartments in the Docklands, requiring Help to Buy assisted mortgages as low as £253,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.

Located off Silvocea Way, fronting onto the River Lea, Orchard Wharf was originally launched in April 2017 and is designed by BUJ Architects. The 288,000-sqft development provides 338 apartments, including 236 for private sale, located in a 23 storey residential tower and three tiered linked buildings which form a crescent, rising from 10 to 19 stories.

Of the 236 one, two and three bedroom private sale apartments, 70% were sold off plan in the Phase One release. Now the remaining 76 apartments form the Phase Two release, including 41 one-bedroom apartments all of which are available for sale through the Help to Buy scheme.

Through the Help to Buy scheme the development’s one-bedroom apartments priced from £460,000, through the government’s 40% equity loan, will require a mortgage of just £253,000, making Orchard Wharf some of the best value starter homes in London Docklands.

The Second Phase launch includes the opening of the new Orchard Wharf marketing suite. The new Orchard Wharf marketing suite features the same contemporary glass and brick façade as the actual development. The marketing suite is located over two floors, with a sales area with a spectacular scale model, an exact replica of what the completed development will look like on the lower floor, and dressed living, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom spaces on the floor above, opening onto an outside terrace, just as in the actual development.

The designer fitted kitchen boasts exquisite silver-grey high gloss units and cabinets with frosted glass splashback, and the master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes with bespoke joinery.

The tower and crescent building have floor to ceiling windows, walk out balconies and brick facades. The crescent shaped building allows space for a peaceful central garden for residents to use. The crescent building has three rooftop landscaped gardens, available for use of residents, located on the 11^th, 14^th and 17^th floors, providing a combined total of 6,943 sqft of outside roof gardens. Homeowners will also have access to hotel style concierge, ground floor commercial units and a residents lounge situated on the ground floor of the residential tower

Each apartment features a spacious living area with an open plan designer fitted kitchen, residences have walk-out balconies and master bedrooms have bespoke fitted wardrobes.
