Rental Success in Grices Wharf

KALMARs delighted in rental success at Grices Wharf, a Grade-II Listed Georgian warehouse that has been carefully designed to offer seven loft style apartments, all of which have now been successfully let . The historical development is located in Southwark’s Rotherhithe Village, a riverside enclave rich in history and character.

Rotherhithe, a Saxon name for ‘Sailers Haven,’ was originally a Saxon fishing village which developed into a seafaring centre with ships being maintained and travelling all over the world. The most noteworthy of these ships was the Mayflower, whose Captain Jones and crew set sail from Rotherhithe Village in 1620, picking up the Plymouth Brethren on its way to found America.

Located beside Grices Wharf on Rotherhithe Street is The Mayflower pub. Said to be the oldest pub on the River Thames, the riverside pub offers guests a clear shot of where the Mayflower was chartered by the Pilgrim Fathers on their way to America in 1620. The Mayflower now stands where The Shippe pub was in the 16^th century, and was given its current name in 1957.

KALMARs reveal that it is this fascinating history of Grices Wharf and its neighbours that has led to the scheme being fully let, along with the exceptional river views, superb connectivity and natural light that all apartments offer. Benefitting from a central yet quiet location, Grices Wharf has been let to a mix of retired individuals and young professional couples.

Ranging from 700 sq. ft. to 2,800 sq. ft. in size, the original Georgian warehouse has been renovated by local resident Warwick Hembry, producing some of the most exquisite river fronted apartments on the south bank of The River Thames that offer truly effortless loft living. Each unit has exposed wooden beams, supposedly taken from the British war ships that fought the Spanish Armada, adding to the schemes captivating historical elements.

While each apartment offers a unique layout of different views, lighting and even river sounds, each unit benefits from the same high-quality specification. All kitchens have integrated appliances, frosted glass splashbacks, slimline wine coolers and Corian worktops. Each bathroom features Porcel-Thin Calcatta tiling, Violek and Simpson fixtures and fittings, oak flooring to ground floor, rainfall shower heads and LED lighting to bath panels.

Each apartment also features low energy LED lighting, brushed steel switches and sockets, whitewash brickwork, double glazing, Lancashire quarry fossilised slate flooring, a virtual video entry system and Juliet balconies in all units except those on the ground floor.

Grices Wharf is positioned in one of the most desirable locations in the South Bank area, with many popular destinations less than a 10-minute walk away. Residents have ample bike storage and are less than one-minutes walk away from Rotherhithe Station. Residents will also have impressive connectivity with the tube providing journeys to Canary Wharf in 8 minutes, London Bridge in 7 minutes and Shoreditch in 8 minutes.

Francesca Harris, Residential Lettings Consultant at KALMARs says, “The rental success of Grices Wharf is a true testament to the scheme’s captivating history and exceptional surroundings. Each apartment offers loft-style living at an exceptional quality in an exquisite location, rich in history and character and KALMARs are truly elated with this success.”
