Property Investments in Cockfosters London EN4
A typical suburban location that has excellent transport facilities, the M25 is a few minutes drive away and access to central, east or west London is easy via the M25 or North Circular. The shops are limited, but functional and all local needs are satisfied. The amenities are excellent and with several parks the area is picturesque and tree lined on most roads

Property Investments in Walworth London SE17
Property Investments in Walworth London SE17
There is an interesting mix of housing in SE17. Unexplained survivals from Georgian times meet partial Victorian terraces and in their view are low and high rise flats If there is a half to the postcode which came best out of post war reconstruction, it is the western half, between Walworth Road and Kennington Park Road. The northern edge of this half, hard by the Elephant, is the relatively successful Newington Estate, nearly all houses in short terraces facing in all sorts of directions with generous amounts of open land. The southern edge are the depressing Brandon and Wyndham Estates, the former in particular a wasteland. In between are a conglomerate of Victorian terraces and modern houses, some in short streets and some in squares. Kennington Park has kept hold of some Victorian terraces and mansion blocks from the Edwardian era and the Fifties complete the parkside picture. Between Walworth Road and Old Kent Road we have the Sixties/Seventies brutalist paradises of the Heygate Estate by the Elephant and the Aylesbury Estate by Burgess Park. The Aylesbury has been saved from full scale demolition but much of it will still go. In between these are a warren of streets with East Street Market at its core. There are many partial Victorian survivals amongst the impromptu car parks and unused bomb-damage ground, often in dark red brick. There are even a few Georgian leftovers in Surrey Square and Bartholomew Street. New life is flickering here in the conversion of a school, a pub, some new housing and the rebuild of 68 Victorian terraces with all mod cons

With many trendy loft conversions, Clapton is moving upmarket, but this is still the place to find a cheap deal, with ubiquitous Victorian houses sharing space with council estates and some new developments.

Denmark Hill is an interesting mix of old and new, up-and-coming and worn out, expansive parks and equally expansive council estates. Gentrification is definitely in the air and there are some really lovely properties to be had on attractive leafy streets.
