Multi-award-winning new homes developer Weston Homes is pleased to announce the launch of thePurbeck Apartments at their highly successful Dylon Riverside scheme in Sydenham, London. The launch of new homes, comprised of 164 luxurious one, two and three-bedroom apartments, form the concluding stage of the £100 million (GDV) regeneration of the former Dylon textiles factory site. Continuing the delivery of high-quality riverside living, this final phase offers residents contemporary homes set within a thoughtfully designed, landscaped environment, complete with premium amenities, excellent transport connections and an established community atmosphere, with prices starting from £370,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.
Designed by Ian Ritchie Architects, Dylon Riverside features two striking buildings ranging from four to eleven storeys, arranged around a generous communal garden that extends towards the Pool River. The landscaped setting is further enhanced by a newly created, river walk, children’s play space and outdoor gymnasium offering residents an attractive and peaceful outdoor environment. Residents in the first phase of homes in the Samuel Apartments are now living within an established thriving community.
Landscaping is thoughtfully integrated throughout Dylon Riverside, which occupies a prime position overlooking the Crystal Palace Academy training ground. This provides many of the apartments with an exceptional open and green outlook. All homes benefit from private outdoor space in the form of a balcony, terrace or winter garden, with additional green spaces located within easy walking distance of the development.
The development occupies the former site of the Dylon textiles factory, founded in 1946 by entrepreneurs Luca Purbeck and Peter Samuel, with the name short for ‘Dyes of London’. Renowned for producing vibrant dyes that brought colour to homes across post-war Britain, the factory dyed curtains, clothes and textiles. The site’s industrial heritage inspired the name of both apartment buildings, a nod to the original founders of the factory.
The stylish homes at Dylon Riverside feature Weston Homes’ premium, fully inclusive specification, with contemporary open-plan living spaces, exceptional bespoke kitchens and luxurious bathrooms equipped with Smart technology. Every apartment benefits from its own balcony, terrace or winter garden and flooring is included throughout. Finished to the highest standards with modern living in mind, the apartments are designed to be truly move-in ready, allowing buyers to immediately immerse themselves in the superb lifestyle on offer at the development.
Each home includes a wide choice of elegant designer kitchen units by Oakwood Kitchens, complemented by a selection of high-quality quartz stone worktops and splashbacks with subtle LED lighting beneath wall units. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances is included as standard, including an electric fan oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer, washer dryer, and dishwasher, alongside the added luxury of a Fascino instant boiling and cold filtered water tap and a neat integrated soap dispenser.
The bathrooms and en suites are equally impressive, featuring Arctic white suites with digitally controlled Fascino Smart taps, showers and bathtubs, and bespoke vanity units include integrated storage. Smart mirrors with LED lighting, shaver sockets, digital clocks and de-mist pads enhance everyday life, while heated towel rails add a touch of comfort and indulgence. Hyperoptic superfast broadband (subject to connection by the purchaser) is installed throughout the development, ensuring residents remain fully connected for work, leisure and entertainment, reinforcing Weston Homes’ commitment to delivering homes that combine sophisticated design with practical, future ready living. With a wide range of designer options from kitchen units, luxurious flooring, bathroom cabinetry, floor and wall tiling (subject to the stage of construction), buyers can personalise their home and truly make it their own.
All homes benefit from a 10-year NHBC warranty, including a two-year warranty from Weston Homes, offering added peace of mind.
Nearby Sydenham high street is a 15-minute walk and offers a wide selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and leisure facilities, with Crystal Palace Park and vibrant Beckenham also close by. Lower Sydenham train station is a three-minute walk away, providing direct services to London Bridge in 14 minutes, makingDylon Riverside an ideal choice for modern London living.
