Countryside Properties is shortly launching the long-awaited first homes at New Hendon Village, which has been described as a ‘key milestone in NW9’s urban revival’, on behalf of Choices for Grahame Park, part of Genesis Housing Group. The launch comes after substantial interest from potential purchasers wishing to invest in one of the most prominent regeneration projects in north-west London, close to Colindale underground station and Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
New Hendon Village sits in a pleasant, natural environment where the new apartment buildings are located around a landscaped, newly reformed pond and park with newly planted trees and shrubbery. The first homes, all parkside, are titled ‘Park Rise’ and ‘Park View’ and are one and two bedroom apartments, each with its own balcony or terrace, built in two sinuous ‘signature’ buildings designed by PTEa, Pollard Thomas Edwards architects. The apartments are a good example of leading-edge contemporary architecture that sympathetically complements its surroundings and green open space.
The individual buildings feature staggered, tiered designs, the tallest reaching to nine storeys. The striking undulating façade adds texture and variety, while the pronounced angular lines of the balconies accentuate the extensive glazing to create sleek and elegant structures.
Early prices for apartments have been set between £195,000 and £300,000, with some deposit assistance available.
Inside, flexible open plan layouts allow room spaces to blend together creating a strong sense of space. Full height glazing lets in natural light and opens onto private balconies or terraces, many affording views of the newly created parkland and pond. The specification is of a good quality with the latest modern fixtures and fittings included. Materials such as granite and chrome create sleek finishes in contemporary kitchens and bathrooms.
Tony Travers, Subsidiary Managing Director, Countryside Properties commented, “We are delighted now to be launching these properties for sale. We have received a lot of sales enquiries from local residents and purchasers wishing to move into the area. NW9 is one of the areas of London where there is a pent-up demand for new property and we believe that New Hendon Village will be a good investment opportunity for the future.”
New Hendon Village’s north London location offers plenty of opportunity for enjoying open space. Nearby is the 250 acres of Fryent Country Park, providing rolling countryside with conserved woodland, hay meadows and ponds, and the more formally landscaped Hendon Park providing a range of sports facilities. Even Hampstead Heath is within easy reach.
Colindale and Hendon possess a colourful mix of eateries and shops, while a short tube journey, or a direct bus route, is all that is needed to reach the retail and leisure facilities of Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
New Hendon Village benefits from good transport links. Colindale Underground Station on the Northern line is within a 10-15 minute walk away, allowing excellent connections throughout the local area and into central London, meaning that Leicester Square is 27 minutes away and London Bridge 36 minutes. The further regeneration of the area includes plans for a proposed transport interchange around the underground station, which will provide enhanced services in the future. Good road links include easy access to the M1, A5, and the A41, allowing access to Brent Cross shopping centre in around 10 minutes, and Heathrow and Luton airports in under 40 minutes.
The New Hendon Village Marketing Suite is located at Lark Court, 104 Lanacre Avenue, London, NW9 5QD. Please email newhendonvillage@cpplc.com for further information or visit the website at www.newhendonvillage.co.uk.
