Starting price for a 25% share in a studio apartment at Hyde New Homesā Stories Wharf
how Stories Wharf is perfectly placed for buyers to make the most of Royal Docks regeneration in the coming years
by Jon Massey
whatās this?
This is Stories Wharf by Hyde New Homes, located overlooking the Thames in North Woolwich.
The development offers a collection of properties available to buyers on a shared ownership basis. With construction work now complete, buyers can move straight into them.
tell me more Studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments are all available at the scheme.
Buyers can purchase an initial share of 25% or more of a home, then pay rent on the rest. They are free then to increase that share until they own 100% of the property.
One of the advantages of this scheme is that for those taking out a mortgage on the share they purchase, deposits are much smaller than those required to buy a property outright.
When combined, mortgage payments, rent and service charge on a shared ownership home typically come to less than it would cost to rent an equivalent property in the same area.
whatās the area like?
Royal Docks is undergoing a period of regeneration that, even by the standards of east London, is profound.
Billions of pounds of investment are pouring into the area with flourishing communities emerging alongside more established neighbourhoods.
That means more housing, amenities and facilities locally, including plans to relocate Billingsgate and Smithfield fish and meat markets to Royal Albert Island and a scheme to give the waters of Royal Victoria Dock a significant facelift, both recently announced. The area is already home to City Hall.
With exhibition and conference centre Excel London newly extended and extensive plans for further commercial regeneration, prospective buyers can look forward to moving into a part of London thatās set for at least a decade of improvement and attention.
why Stories Wharf?
Hydeās scheme is itself an attractive proposition. Apartments come with fully fitted kitchens,
integrated appliances, tiled bathrooms, a private balcony or terrace and built-in storage.
Communal facilities include a garden, a childrenās play area and a rooftop terrace.
The scheme benefits from its own solar panels, designed to power public areas as well as secure cycle storage and the option for buyers to purchase parking spaces on selected properties.
what about transport?
Stories Wharf is in a very singular position in the capital. Itās close to King George V DLR, putting it one stop from both London City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal (a short walk from the Elizabeth Line station).
But in addition to those links to international travel and rapid transport across the capital ā Canary Wharf is eight minutes from Woolwich ā Hydeās development has a location few residential schemes can match. Its proximity to the northern end of the Woolwich Foot Tunnel and the northern dock of the Woolwich Ferry mean it also benefits from unrivalled free access across the Thames on foot or by vehicle. Itās also well served by buses.
and the local area?
The scheme is located within easy walking distance of Royal Victoria Gardens with the wider area offering a growing blend of cultural attractions at the likes of Immerse LDN and Silverworks Island.
The docks themselves offer a range of watersports including open water swimming, wakeboarding and an invigorating dockside sauna facility. Further afield, the development is within easy reach of Woolwich, Canary Wharf, Stratford and the City all offering a succession of attractions.

how Dylon Riverside offers smart homes on the edge of a waterway with top transport links by rail
by Jon Massey
Developer Weston Homes has unveiled the latest collection of properties at its Dylon Riverside scheme in south-east London.
The release of Purbeck Apartments, comprising 164 newly built homes, marks the ļ¬nal phase of construction on the former industrial site in Sydenham.
Once home to the Dylon textiles factory, the area has been transformed by Ian Ritchie Architects and Weston with two buildings ranging in height from four to 11 storeys.
The scheme features a communal garden that extends towards the nearby Pool River, a walk along its bank, a childrenās play space and an outdoor gym.
Paying homage to the founders of Dylon both Purbeck Apartments and Samuel Apartments are named in honour of the companyās founders.
Inside buyers can expect open-plan design with kitchens and bathrooms bristling with technology. Private outdoor space or winter gardens are included with every property.
Smart touches in the apartments include instant boiling and cold-ļ¬ltered taps in the kitchens alongside a comprehensive range of integrated appliances as standard as well as tech-laden mirrors in the bathrooms with digital clocks, LED lighting and de-mist pads.
The properties also come fully wired for Hyperoptic broadband and options to personalise the ļ¬nishes subject to the stage of construction.
āWe are thrilled to launch the Purbeck Apartments, the ļ¬nal phase of homes at Dylon Riverside, marking a signiļ¬cant
milestone in the delivery of this outstanding riverside development,ā said Suzanne Aplin, group sales and marketing director at Weston Homes.
