From £599,995: apartments at Dash Hoxton come with app-controlled postal collection

With a growing number of wealthy do-gooder tech entrepreneurs, east London’s charitable roots run far deeper than the dotcom boom.

Dash, a new scheme of 71 apartments in Hoxton, takes its name from “haberdashery” in reference to 17th-century merchant and philanthropist Robert Aske. Through the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, Aske set up a benevolent fund to build and run almshouses and schools locally, and they endure to this day.

Located moments from pretty Aske Gardens, another of the merchant’s legacies, homes at Dash Hoxton include duplexes with two terraces. There is also a vast communal roof terrace.

Three brick-clad apartment blocks fit neatly into the neighbourhood and rise seven storeys, forming a triangle at their heart which contains a courtyard garden for residents.

With busy millennials in mind, developer Countryside has set up Bringme, an electronic postal collection service, controllable by a mobile app. This provides secure parcel deliveries to an on-site depot or direct to your home at Dash Hoxton.

The apartments are priced from £599,995. Call 020 3504 8310.
