Penthouse Living in Suburbia15 October 2010
Four exclusive and luxurious suburban penthouses will be released in Mill Hill, London in mid-October. The ‘überhaus’ apartments are located at the top of the Imperial Apartment building at Countryside Annington’s ‘Ridgemont’ development in this leafy north London suburb.
The überhaus apartments, offer a superior level of suburban apartment living, with more than 1,000 sq ft of glorious, light filled space overlooking Ridgemont’s beautiful landscaped grounds. Each apartment comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms and very spacious, open-plan living, which is further enhanced by full height glazing and large private terraces.
Countryside Annington is a joint venture partnership between Countryside Properties and Annington Homes. Chris Crook, Subsidiary Managing Director of Countryside Properties comments: “There is a shortage of high quality apartments throughout the north London suburbs and these penthouses provide the sort of luxury one would normally expect to find in central London, at incomparable prices.”
Each penthouse is designed to maximise light and promote its space, which isn’t difficult to do with over 1,000 sq ft of room. Premier fittings and appliances feature strongly with oak engineered flooring, granite worktops, ceramic floor tiling and large panels of glass combined to create an outstanding and extremely enviable home.
Ridgemont is located off Frith Lane in Mill Hill and offers a selection of cosmopolitan apartments, penthouses and family homes, set in landscaped gardens. The buildings are designed with clean, crisp and contemporary lines, complemented by their extensive glazing, wooden cladding and cream coloured render.
The development has been beautifully landscaped and offers residents far-reaching views across the green open spaces of the Mill Hill Conservation Area, Finchley golf course and North London beyond. Ridgemont has been a huge success with many buyers reserving 12-18 months in advance of the properties being built.
In spite of its green surroundings, Ridgemont is just two miles from Mill Hill Broadway’s wide range of high street shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. There are many leisure facilities in the local area, including tennis courts, a cricket ground, playing fields, equestrian centres and a Virgin Active gym. Residents also have easy access to scenic rural and riverside walks that feel a long way from busy London life.
Mill Hill East underground station, on the Northern Line, is just over half a mile away while the M1, A1 and the A41 are close by. Mill Hill is also well served by buses, which run regular services into London and the surrounding area.
The marketing suite is open from Thursday to Sunday from 10am-5pm and Monday from 1pm – 5pm. For further information contact telephone 020 8343 0990 or visit www.ridgemont-millhill.net
With more people choosing to commute into Central London, the first release of four bedroom houses at Countyside Annington’s Ridgemont development in Mill Hill, sold immediately off-plan. Ridgemont’s great transport links and superb value, proved a winning combination for commuters, like Dominic Anstey and his partner Pavlina Chingarova.
Dominic, a Quantity Surveyor, comments: “We have moved from another house locally as we were attracted by the community feel and great value of Ridgemont. Both my partner (an accountant), and I work in central London, so the great commuting links were very important as we can be in central London on the Northern Line really quickly. The four bedroom house has a spacious feel as the accommodation is arranged over three storeys. In addition we really liked the bedrooms, as they are all a good size.”
The new ‘Montana’ town houses have a contemporary almost ‘art deco’ feel externally. On the ground floor there is an integral garage and an open plan kitchen / diner with double doors leading out to the beautifully landscaped rear garden. The stylish kitchens feature cutting edge cream gloss units with black granite worktops and limestone effect floor tiles. There is a full range of integrated appliances and a stainless steel oven and grill. The homes have been carefully designed to maximise views with a living room, complete with balcony at first floor level. The master suite, which has both an en suite bath and shower and benefits from a fitted wardrobe, is also on the first floor. The further three double bedrooms and a large family bathroom occupy the top floor.

Living within the catchment area of a particularly good school can add at least a 12% premium onto a home*, which is one reason why these surprisingly good value four bedroom family homes at Countryside Annington’s Ridgemont in Mill Hill are selling quickly. The rising cost of private schools means that people are moving to an area based on its good state schools, and Mill Hill boasts a large number of highly rated primary and secondary schools.
Derick Deysel, an accountant, is moving to Ridgemont with his wife Sallie and their daughters Lyla and Kiki. Derek comments: “We wanted to move out from West Hampstead as we needed more space and after seeing Ridgemont we were very impressed by the size of the properties and the area. Mill Hill is renowned for its great schools, and with two very young children we knew this was the right place for us.
“We are fond of new properties and really liked the fact that all four bedrooms are a good size, so it’s a proper family home. We are surrounded by green space and a playground will be built soon, which means there will be a real sense of community. I can see our children being secure here and playing in the street with the other kids when they are older.”
This new collection of four-bedroom ‘Montana’ family town houses has a contemporary almost ‘art deco’ feel externally.

Ridgemont, a joint venture between Countryside Properties and Annington, has always been a popular development and now with the newly revamped two bedroom show apartment, it continues to attract a lot of interest.

* RICS figures March 2010 show a 12% increase in new loans for home buyers and house prices up 1.2%.
The property market in the Borough of Barnet is proof that property prices will not decrease during 2010, according to a Managing Director at property developer Countryside Properties. Chris Crook has spoken out against recent reports that house prices will decrease in 2010, arguing that a housing shortage will prevent prices from falling, and references the property market in Barnet as an example of where the shortage is already acute.
Chris Crook, who has been at the forefront of the property industry for more than 30 years, comments: “Changes in demographics, increasing population and a restrictive planning system will collectively ensure that unsatisfied pent-up demand will underpin the housing market for many years to come. The recent collapse in new home production will only exacerbate this situation particularly in London and the South East.
“Despite glimmers of hope from the mortgage market, the recent economic climate has seriously restricted the volume of production from housebuilders and demand for new and affordable homes is massively outstripping supply.
“Our development in Mill Hill, Ridgemont, is a fantastic example of contemporary architecture and design, but its success is outweighing our predictions because there is a shortage of high quality housing in Barnet. Having sold most of the one and two bed apartments off-plan, we launched a number of 4 bedroom townhouses late last year, three of which sold off-plan immediately.”
New Apartments and Houses
Ridgemont is located off Frith Lane in Mill Hill and comprises a selection of cosmopolitan new apartments and houses. The new houses are being built by Countryside Properties and joint venture partner, Annington Homes. The development has been beautifully landscaped and many of the homes offer residents far-reaching views across the green open spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area, Finchley golf course and North London beyond.
All the townhouses have a large kitchen/dining area, separate living area, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The modern kitchen includes a stylish granite worktop, cream gloss fitted units, a gas hob with glass splash back, stainless steel oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave. The new homes also benefit from an individually landscaped rear garden, garage and off street parking.
In spite of its green surroundings, Ridgemont is just two miles from Mill Hill Broadway’s wide range of high street shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. There are many leisure facilities in the local area, including a prestigious golf course, tennis courts, a cricket ground, playing fields, equestrian centres and a Virgin Active gym. Residents also have easy access to scenic rural and riverside walks that feel a long way from busy London life.
Mill Hill East underground station, on the Northern Line, is just over half a mile away while the M1, A1 and the A41 are close by. Mill Hill is also well served by buses, which run regular services into London and the surrounding area.

Waiting lists for housing in the Borough of Barnet are at an all time high, as in many other areas in the country, and recent statistics show that it will take approximately 33 years – or until 2042, before Barnet council’s housing waiting lists are cleared.
In spite of this gloomy prediction, work is being done to shorten the waiting time, and developers like Countryside Properties and their joint venture partners, Annington Developments, are not only building much needed affordable properties for housing associations through their combined development activities, but they are producing them to an exceptionally high standard and delivering them on time.
The first phase, of a total of 90 affordable homes, has just been handed over to the Notting Hill Housing Trust. The 25 houses and five apartments in this first phase will all be rented to local authority candidates, and the high quality materials and ecological credentials demonstrate that they have been designed and built to just as high a standard as the housing for sale around them.
Chris Crook, Director of Countryside Annington Mill Hill Limited, comments: “All of our new developments have to include a viable proportion of affordable housing these days, and a test of their success in design terms is our ability to integrate private and public housing tenures in such a way as to ensure that it is difficult to determine any difference between the two. The high level of design and the quality of materials make this phase at Ridgemont one the best examples of a tenure blind development I have ever seen.
“Furthermore, taking into account the environmental technology in each dwelling, we anticipate tenants could make substantial savings on their fuel and electricity bills. We are very proud to be providing such excellent housing to the Notting Hill Housing Trust and we look forward to working together to reduce the housing shortage. We have further plans to work with the London Borough of Barnet in delivering their housing ambitions for the Borough in the years ahead. ”
Liz Sargent, Senior Project Manager, Notting Hill Housing Trust, comments: “Ridgemont is a fantastic example of how housebuilders and housing associations are working together to produce much needed, well designed, family housing. It is obvious that great care and pride have gone into these properties and the feed back we have had from prospective tenants has been very positive.”
Ridgemont is located off Frith Lane in Mill Hill and comprises a selection of cosmopolitan apartments and houses. The new houses were built by Countryside Properties and joint venture partner, Annington Homes.

Mill Hill’s leafy streets and excellent local schools are attracting a new influx of younger professional residents. New and more affordable developments, such as Countryside Properties’ apartments at Ridgemont, are opening the area up to new purchasers, such as Mark Wong, who are attracted by the great local facilities and the relaxed way of life.
Mark, a 35 year old software developer, comments: “My wife and I have recently become new parents, so we decided that now was the time to buy. Having lived in and around London for many years, I knew that I wanted to be in Mill Hill now because of its great local schools, as well as the rural feel and close proximity to central London which has made the area very popular, and historically a very expensive place to buy a property in.
“When we saw Ridgemont we were really impressed by what we could get for our money, and completely fell in love with our two bedroom apartment. Countryside Properties has finished the apartment to a very high level which included all of the appliances we could possibly need within the price. We are thrilled to have a beautiful home in such a wonderful area and can’t wait to bring up our daughter in this vibrant London community.”
Ridgemont is located off Frith Lane in Mill Hill and offers cosmopolitan apartments set within attractive four storey apartment buildings. The apartments were built by Countryside Properties and joint venture partner, Annington Homes. All the homes have open plan living/dining rooms and separate contemporary kitchens which include a stylish granite worktop, cream gloss fitted units, an integrated ceramic hob, stainless steel oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave. Most apartments also benefit from outside space, in the form of a terrace or balcony, and a parking space.

Countryside Properties and Annington Homes’ popular development, Ridgemont is now offering stylish garden apartments which are hard to come by in this popular leafy suburb.

While property prices all over the country are falling, a few areas are still defying the trend. Mill Hill, in London, has an average property price of over £425,000 which is unchanged from the same period last year.* This sought after location appears to have been sheltered from the turbulent property market, but as a consequence many property buyers are still priced out of this part of the capital.
However, with the launch of Countryside Properties’ and joint venture partner Annington Homes’ Celadon apartment building, at the contemporary Ridgemont development, a home in Mill Hill will become more attainable for some. The apartments start at £189,950, which will allow first time buyers to afford to live in this suburban location, which is ideally placed near Mill Hill East tube station and Mill Hill Broadway.
Chris Crook, Subsidiary Managing Director, Countryside Properties, comments: “Mill Hill is a unique location because it allows residents to benefit from city life, whilst also being surrounded by conservation areas, and it is this unusual combination which has kept property prices at a premium. The release of the Celadon apartments will open the area up to more young people who were previously priced out of Mill Hill. These apartments are a great example of how Countryside Properties is providing stylish but affordable accommodation, in the best locations.”
Ridgemont, located off Frith Lane in Mill Hill, offers contemporary one and two bedroom apartments set in attractive low rise apartment buildings. The development is beautifully landscaped and enjoys far-reaching views across the leafy, green spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area, Finchley golf course and North London beyond.
The apartment buildings are arranged around landscaped, communal areas and each apartment has outside space in the form of a glass fronted balcony or terrace and a podium parking space, or undercroft parking is available at an extra cost. Externally, the development is extremely modern and uses sleek lines, flat roofs and large window and balcony recesses, to create the contemporary look. The combination of warm sandstone and terracotta brick, cream render, crisp aluminium trims and natural cedar cladding, highlights the building’s striking design.
The apartments boast luxuriously appointed kitchens with granite worktops, cream gloss fitted units, an integrated ceramic hob, stainless steel oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave as standard.
Ridgemont is surrounded by conservation areas yet is just two miles from Mill Hill Broadway’s wide range of high street stores, restaurants, pubs and cafes. There are plenty of leisure facilities in the local vicinity including tennis courts, a cricket ground, several playing fields, Equestrian Centres and a Virgin Active gym. Residents also have easy access to rural and riverside walks that feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of central London.

Award winning developer, Countryside Properties, with joint venture partner, Annington Homes, is launching a new development of stylish, contemporary new homes in the highly sought after area of Mill Hill, North London. Ridgemont , an attractive development of apartments and houses, is launching on Sunday, 17th August 2008.
The first properties to be released for sale at Ridgemont, located off Frith Lane, are contemporary one and two apartments set in attractive low rise apartment buildings in expertly landscaped surroundings. The development is a real rarity in London as it overlooks the beautiful green spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area. Residents have easy access to pretty meadows and riverside walks that feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of central London, yet Mill Hill East underground station is just over half a mile away, giving easy access to the attractions of the city.
Internally, the apartments are of a very high specification that ensures comfortable contemporary living. The kitchens include granite worktops, cream gloss fitted kitchens, an integrated ceramic hob, stainless steel oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave. Bathrooms include sleek white sanitaryware with chrome fixtures and limestone tiling.
Externally, properties feature sandstone and terracotta brick, ivory render, aluminium trims and cedar cladding. The architecture includes sleek angular lines, flat roofs and large window and balcony recesses. The first six apartment buildings are arranged around mature and manicured communal areas and each apartment has either an under croft or podium parking space and a glass fronted balcony or terrace.
Chris Crook, Subsidiary Managing Director, Countryside Properties, comments: "The Frith Lane area of Mill Hill is an extremely popular place to live, as it is close to the attractive open spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area, yet benefits from having all the amenities of Mill Hill Broadway right on the doorstep. Each property at Ridgemont offers spacious accommodation and the high specification renowned by Countryside Properties and I anticipate that the development will prove attractive to a broad range of purchasers, including first time buyers, investors and those looking to downsize from large family homes. The stylish scheme uses the very best in design techniques and finishes and epitomises the Countryside Properties ethos of building modern sustainable homes in excellent locations."
Ridgemont has been designed to utilise the elevation provided by the steep southeast facing slope of Mill Hill Ridge. The inclusion of manicured open spaces, expansive lawns and squares complement the countryside that borders the development.
Ridgemont is perfectly placed to enjoy Mill Hill Broadway, two miles away, which offers a host of high street stores, restaurants, pubs and cafes. The development benefits from an expanse of green open space around it, with views over the Finchley golf course and towards North London. For the sporting enthusiast, there are plenty of leisure facilities in the local vicinity including tennis courts, a cricket ground, several playing fields, the famous Frith Manor Equestrian Centre and a Virgin Active gym.
