Essex home buyers and investors will benefit from one of the UK's largest regeneration projects at Barking Riverside, as a staggering £500million is set to be invested into transport links, parkland and other community facilities, including almost 11,000 new homes. Situated near the Thames in this highly sought-after area, Bellway has recently launched another phase of the award-winning development at Caspian Quarter, ideal for first-time buyers, families and young professionals.

Barking Riverside will also become London's first and only NHS Healthy New Town, as part of the commitment to improve the health of the population and integrate effective healthcare services across the country. As part of the drive to create a sustainable community, Caspian Quarter follows an eco-friendly design, with green roofs, communal gardens, locally sourced timber and high levels of insulation to reduce energy consumption.

The development comprises of one and two-bedroom apartments, complete with open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, en suite shower rooms and many have terraces or balconies. Help to Buy London is also available on a selection of homes.

Annette Hurst, Divisional Sales Director at Bellway Homes Essex, comments: “This a great time to buy at Caspian Quarter, regeneration projects of this scale are guaranteed to bring house price rises, meaning excellent news for savvy home buyers.  Our apartments are being snapped up quickly and we would encourage potential buyers to visit the development and see for themselves the impressive improvements that are coming to the area.”

Retail lovers will enjoy a wealth of shopping opportunities at Barking town centre, offering a range of large retailers, independent boutiques and a local market. Only a 25-minute drive from Caspian Quarter, one of the largest shopping centres in Europe, Westfield at Stratford City, includes over 250 shops, 65 restaurants and a 17-screen Vue Cinema.

Barking is the closest railway station, offering frequent services to London Fenchurch Street in only 14 minutes.  London Overground and London Underground services also stop at Barking Station, and frequent bus services connect it with Caspian Quarter.
