The cube is the latest edition to Gosterwood Street, Deptford. A true example of blending old with new; this two-bedroom house forms the end of a Victorian terrace.
“Renewable” may grab the headlines but in reality, the key fundamentals of a successful “green” home remain what they have always been, low energy design and investment in the fabric of the property. The Cube however is certainly that and much more. This property is truly unique, built to code 4 sustainable standards, exceeding buyers expectations in every dimension.
Accommodation is arranged over three levels with under floor heating to the ground floor, creating a warm and homely welcome. The kitchen is open plan to the living area, encouraging casual and carefree living as well as a perfect space for entertaining. A multi-fuel wood burning stove is the focal point, whilst additional natural light is invited in by a glass lantern with blue LED halo trim. The kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances, high gloss units, quartz worktops and a porcelain tiled floor. The outside space steals the show with an enchanting and generous partially walled garden which is private and excluded. Flower beds bursting with Lavender and a gravel bonded path lead the way from the decked area.
The first floor offers a double bedroom served by a shower room, and on the second floor is the master bedroom and en-suite. The shower room and en-suite are “boutique” in style with grey polished wall tiles and jewel diamond effect floor tiles, including LED mirrored cabinets. Both bedrooms are carpeted with triple glazing minimising all noise, creating a cosy space to relax and sleep.
Gosterwood Street is historically an industrial location which previously served as the heartland for industry in Deptford and is now a thriving residential community in the London Borough of Lewisham.
Locally there is an attractive balance of converted period buildings mixed with modern residences, a clear result of the government investment that has seen the area flourish in true re-generation.
The Cube sits prominently within one of South East London’s most sought-after locations. Surrey Quays Shopping Centre is easily accessible and offers a wide range of high street retailers, restaurants and multi-screen cinema complex. A wide variety of leisure facilities are provided within easy reach including Southwark Park, Surrey Docks Water Sports Centre and South Dock: London’s largest private marina. Greenwich attracts both local and international investment via tourism. Landmarks include The Cutty Sark, The National Maritime Museum, The Royal Observatory, as well as the University of Greenwich, making this a popular place to visit, study and live. In addition, there is Greenwich market which is also close by with its quirky independent shops, stalls and antique market.
Central London is less than 5 miles away and is easily accessible via excellent public transport connections. The immediate area provides good transport connections located in Zone 2 with regular rail services into central London, Greenwich and Blackheath. By road the A2 is a short drive/cycle and will take you direct into the city.
