Property description
Constructed in the 1980's as part of the LDDC regeneration area, the \"Marlow Houses\", arranged as small cul-de-sacs off Marlow Way, have seen a growing popularity recently, in part due to their increasingly rare freehold title. These properties enjoy a noticeably different feel to the smaller houses developed close by and have a reputation for being more substantially built. This 151.4sqm (1,630sqft) example is no disappointment. Immaculately presented by the current owners, the accommodation is arranged over three floors incorporating four double bedrooms, three bathrooms (of which one is en suite), two reception rooms, utility room and integrated garage. Further storage is provided by a loft space which could (stp) be converted to provide a fifth bedroom. This rare gem must be seen to be appreciated.
Location: Cookham Crescent is an intimate canal-side cul-de-sac located just off Marlow Way and close to Surrey Water. Formerly part of the Surrey Commercial Docks, the development was built in the 1980's as part of the London Dockland Development Corporation's vision. The Albion Channel is the narrow remnant of Albion Dock, the link between Surrey Basin and Canada Dock and today is maintained as a nature reserve for plant and bird life.
Transport Links: There are numerous transport options within a close proximity to Cookham Crescent; Rotherhithe Station is 0.2 miles away offering London Overground services, while Canada Water is 0.3 miles away offering London Overground services as well as the Jubilee Line. yards away, the C10 bus gives direct links to the West End and the 381 goes to Waterloo one way and South London the other way, while there are a further five bus routes operating from the nearby Canada Water bus station meaning the majority of Greater London is reachable. For the driver the A200 and Rotherhithe Tunnel offer quick and easy access to the City or countryside.
Local Amenities: The property is a short stroll from the Surrey Quays shopping centre offering a 24 hour Tesco, High Street clothes shops and coffee shops. For the family, the adjacent leisure park offers an Odeon and bowling/arcade centre, as well as family orientated restaurants. Slightly further afield, Canary Wharf is a pleasant Thames Clipper ride away providing more formal bars and restaurants and the West End or Shad Thames is easily accessible by tube.
We Say: The area surrounding Canada Water station is becoming increasingly popular with families looking to set down roots in the area. Freeholds in particular are becoming ever rarer as the new apartment developments are springing up. The demand for freeholds is demonstrated by the phenomenal price increases in recent years which, due to the increasing demand and decreasing lack of available properties, doesn't show any sign of letting up just yet. This could prove to be a very savvy purchase for the medium term investment and provide a happy home for years to come.
