Synergy, Charlton, SE7

As the name implies, Synergy is a new property development that aims to provide residents with the ideal work/life balance. Developers, Fairview have achieved this by creating an environment that puts equal emphasis on exterior landscaping as well as apartment design. The result is an urban community that is modern, welcoming and sustainable. The area of Charlton occupies a position on the River Thames just between Greenwich and Woolwich and inhabitants can enjoy the same amenities, historic landmarks, uncluttered river views and high-speed transport connections.

Consisting of eight phases, the one, two and three bedroom apartments of Synergy overlook tranquil courtyards and well-planned gardens. The interiors are open-plan with balconies and full-height windows allowing for plenty of natural light. Charlton Park is ideal for jogging, cycling and picnicking and is also home to Charlton House – one of the finest remaining examples of 17th Century Jacobean architecture in England. The streets that border the park have a village-like atmosphere with independent cafes and coffee shops. The main thoroughfare is near Charlton station and features many popular retail brands, pubs and eateries.

Transport links in and out of Charlton rely largely on the mainline rail service which stops at two stations: Westcombe Park and Charlton. Trains run directly to Cannon Street for the City and Charing Cross for the West End. Passengers can change at Greenwich for the DLR service to Canary Wharf. The new Elizabeth line station at Woolwich is set to provide an ultra-fast alternative that will connect to Canary Wharf, Central London and Heathrow.
