Papermill Walk at Ingress Park

Crest Nicholson is in the final stages of transforming the magnificent Thames-side Ingress Abbey and grounds, into an attractive collection of small exclusive neighbourhoods known collectively as Ingress Park. Located on the site of the old Empire Papermill, Papermill Walk will offer discerning homebuyers the last chance to buy a unique family inspired house and live the award-winning lifestyle offered by Ingress Park. Designed and set around the historic abbey with its waterfront, established parkland heritage and woodland areas, Papermill Walk will join the eight existing residential communities, which already provide a strong sense of place and community at Ingress Park.

Located at the eastern extremity of the Ingress Park community, Papermill Walk will be the last small and exclusive character neighbourhood comprising both houses and apartments. With no further houses planned at Ingress Park, Papermill Walk will be a destination in its own right.

Seamlessly linked with the existing infrastructure, which includes stops for the proposed Fast Track bus service to Ebbsfleet International Station, landscaping and riverside walk, the new neighbourhood has been designed to create a real mixed community way of life. Ebbsfleet International offers services of just 11 minutes to the Olympic Park in Stratford or 17 minutes to St Pancras, as well as fast routes to the continent.

With 3 and 4 bedroom family sized homes, 2 and 3 bedroom cottages, character 1 and 2 bedroom coach houses and a low rise apartment building comprising 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, Papermill Walk has a range of properties to suit all homeowner needs.

So whether you are a family needing more growing space with easy access to Kent’s countryside, a first-time buyer or professional looking for a home with fast commuter links, Papermill Walk could be the place for you, as well as your last opportunity to own a house at this iconic development.
