Sleek and chic

Urbanites in search of a new pad can test their greenfingered skills at The Hub, a new mixed-use scheme in Bermondsey, SE1, with communal roof gardens and tennis courts.

Owners can add their ideas to the partially planted gardens, while soaking up views over the City and St Paul's.

Twelve one- and two-bedroom apartments, an impressive penthouse and three live/work units are available. They range in size from 545sq ft to 1,674sq ft.

High-spec interiors include open-plan living areas with sleek oak-veneer floors, large windows, Italian-design kitchens with granite worktops, glazed sliding doors and contemporary bathrooms.

Prices range from £235,000 to £975,000. Contact Kalmars Residential on 020 7940 7980 or visit www.acorn-homes.co.uk.
