Developer Weston Homes has launched their much-awaited Dylon Riverside development in Sydenham, London SE26.

The transformative £100 million high-quality residential development promises to be as vibrant and exciting as the former textile factory it replaces.

Positioned within the second phase of the wider redevelopment of the iconic Dylon textiles factory site, Dylon Riverside will be a beautifully curated blend of history and innovation. The factory, founded in 1946 by Luca Purbeck and Peter Samuel, was a beacon of post-war optimism. It provided an array of radiant dyes that brought joy to homes across Britain. This tradition of colour and creativity finds a new form in this development, as Dylon's history is reimagined in brick, steel and glass.

Crafted by the architectural brilliance of Ian Ritchie Architects and refined by the fine detailing of Weston Homes’ own in-house design team, Dylon Riverside comprises two buildings, standing between 4 and 11-storeys tall.

254 apartments include one, two and three-bedroom homes. The buildings come with undercroft basement parking, a novel children’s play space, an outdoor gymnasium and lushly landscaped gardens.

A standout feature is the expansive communal garden by the Pool River. Also planned is a new-lit river walk, enabling residents to savour their surroundings in safety and comfort. Construction commenced this year and eager homeowners are expected to step into their new abodes by the summer of 2024.

Every home within Dylon Riverside features Weston Homes’ top-tier, all-inclusive specification. Open-plan living spaces ooze contemporary sophistication. Luxurious bathrooms and en suites with Smart technology reflect modern living at its best. The market-leading specification earned Weston Homes a double 'Gold' at the WhatHouse? Awards 2022 - for 'Medium Housebuilder of the year' and 'Best Interior Design'.

The buyers can personalise their home, depending on the phase of construction, from kitchen units and flooring to bathroom cabinetry and tiling.

Hyperoptic superfast broadband is installed in each home, so residents can remain fully connected for work and leisure.

In an effort to reduce environmental impact, Weston Homes' design team places great emphasis on the efficiency of their buildings. From insulation to airtight junctions, from glazing to heating specifications, each element is carefully optimised to reduce CO2 emissions and running costs.

The location of Dylon Riverside offers a diverse range of amenities and transport links. A 15-minute walk will take you to the centre of Sydenham high street and Beckenham. Schools rated either OFSTED Outstanding or Good are nearby, making it a perfect locale for families. In addition, the homes are just a two-minute walk from Lower Sydenham train station, offering a quick commute to London Bridge.

As part of its commitment to community inclusivity, Weston Homes is offering a number of Discount Market Sale (DMS) properties at Dylon Riverside. Eligible buyers, which include key workers or local buyers living or working in the Borough of Bromley, can avail of a 30% discount on select one- and two-bedroom apartments, without compromising on ownership rights.

First-time buyer Alessandro Sottilaro who purchased an apartment with Weston Homes using the DMS scheme, commented: “I fell in love with the Weston Homes apartments, but I initially thought that we could not afford one until I found the Discount Market Sale scheme. By using the discount, we could afford a new apartment that is perfect for us. We went directly to the showroom, met the Sales Consultants and within five minutes we wanted one of the homes and bought immediately. I love the fact that it is so fresh, modern and finished to such a high standard.”

Suzanne Aplin, Group Sales & Marketing Director at Weston Homes added: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Dylon Riverside, a truly exceptional development in the heart of Sydenham which is part of the transformation of the former Dylon textiles factory site into a vibrant new community. With its outstanding design, luxurious features, and prime location, Dylon Riverside offers residents a remarkable living experience and provides the perfect homes for first-time buyers and young couples or families who want to live within close commuting distance to Central London without the inner-city price tag”.

Apartments at Dylon Riverside start from £349,995 for a one-bedroom apartment, £449,995 for a two-bedroom apartment and £620,000 for a three-bedroom apartment. Discount Market Sale apartments available from £262,250 (subject to eligibility).
