Nearly 200 new homes are set to be released for sale in south-east London next month.

The one, two and three-bedroom apartments – plus duplexes – are scheduled to hit the market in June as Peabody New Homes and Lovell unveil the second phase of their joint venture to regenerate Thamesmead – Southmere.

Spread over two red brick-clad buildings, Lakeshore and Skyline, the properties are set alongside £2.5million regeneration of Southmere Lake.

The blocks boast direct views over the water with apartments that feature large windows, and private outdoor space for all residents. 

Interior design firm Suna has created schemes for both buildings with distinct colour palettes for bathrooms and kitchens in green and blue to differentiate the properties on offer.

lakeside living

 “Providing lakeside living with Zone 2 convenience, we are excited to soon be launching our next phase of highly anticipated homes at Southmere,” said  Raquel Soares, assistant director of sales strategy, intelligence and compliance at Peabody New Homes.

 “Located at the heart of Thamesmead’s vibrant regeneration, Lakeshore and Skyline are set to the backdrop of gorgeous green and blue spaces, exciting new amenities and exceptional transport links. 

“With properties in regeneration areas typically seeing an additional annual sale price performance of 4.3%, Southmere is inviting buyers to invest in a growing community. 

“Launching shortly, those hoping to find their place in this up-and-coming destination can register their interest now.”

amenities at Southmere

Residents at Southmere get access to a 16-hour concierge service, a residents’ lounge, co-working spaces and a cinema room.

Those moving into Skyline will also benefit from an entertainment room.

Those living locally will also be able to take advantage of paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing facilities at a new boat club, which is set to be unveiled on Southmere Lake.

Simon Ginsburg, head of sales at Lovell said: “We’re really excited for Southmere phase two on the beautiful lakefront in Thamesmead.   

“Our vision is to create amazing places where people want to live and a lakeside view in London on the balcony is truly a rare find.”

Southmere is located a 10-minute walk from Abbey Wood station, which offers connections to the likes of Canary Wharf, Farringdon and Paddington in 11, 20 and 28 minutes, respectively.

The hub also offers rail services to a range of destinations and there are plans to extend the DLR to Thamesmead too.

Local amenities include the likes of The Nest Library And Community Space, a Co-Op, an Anytime Fitness gym, a health centre and a dentist as well as the open public space of Cygnet Square.

The project to regenerate Thamesmead aims to preserve as much open space in the area as possible while providing new homes for Londoners.

Residents at Southmere will be within easy reach of nature reserve Tump 53 and the ancient woodlands of Lesnes Abbey Woods.

Southmere Park boasts South London’s first ever Tiny Forest, made up of 600 trees, while walking and cycling routes offer connections to the area’s five lakes, 18 kilometres of riverside walks and 7 kilometres of canals.
