New ‘commuter hotspot and First-Time Buyer haven’ set for South East London

Estate agents Hamptons and Kingsbury Stone have announced Alms Gate by Vfund as an “excellent commuter hotspot and First-Time Buyer haven” in South East London.

Situated in the “sought-after” area between Blackheath Village and Lewisham, the development has captured significant interest from professionals due to its strategic location and excellent nearby transportation connections, for buyers who commute into central London.

The “unique” collection of Grade II Listed former almshouses which have been sensitively restored into one-bedroom urban cottages not only retain their value but pose as the “perfect opportunity” for First-Time Buyers looking to own their own home in London.

Alms Gate provides 39 one, two and three-bed homes, including a collection of newly launched one-bedroom cottages, wrapped around almost 1.63 acres (70,000 sq ft) of private landscaped central communal gardens, and set within a secure gated community. The initial release of homes was successfully sold off-plan with the scheme now build complete.

The new collection of one-bedroom cottages have recently been released to the market available for immediate occupation, for sale via joint agents Hamptons and Kingsbury Stone. Alms Gate’s position as a new “commuter hotspot” is driven by its excellent connectivity being situated within a short walk from Lewisham Station.

The station provides direct overground connections to London Bridge in less than eight minutes, making the daily commute effortless. Moreover, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) connections from Lewisham Station offer swift access to the heart of Canary Wharf in just over 15 minutes, catering to professionals working in the financial district.

Graeme Grossman, director at Kingsbury Stone, commented: “Alms Gate’s transformation into a bustling commuter hotspot is truly remarkable, with the majority of buyers at the development being professionals who have selected Alms Gate as their home due to its convenient location and good transport connections.

“With its proximity to Lewisham Station and its swift overground connections to London Bridge, the development provides residents with seamless access to the city. The additional DLR connections to Canary Wharf make Alms Gate an irresistible choice for professionals seeking a serene living environment without compromising on convenience.”

Alms Gate’s combination of Grade II Listed urban cottages and captivating central communal gardens sets it apart from the market. Buyers who initially sought one-bedroom flats have chosen the one-bedroom urban cottages at Alms Gate instead, drawn to the “more desirable” living space these properties offer.
