It takes two: Kings Park ideal for joint buyers
One in five people are planning or considering a property purchase in the next two years and 77% will share the purchase with a partner, relative or friend, according to new research by Santander Insurance. Affordability is the main reason for a joint purchase cited by one in four, whilst 39% of these transactions will be between friends, family members, and unmarried couples.
Countryside’s Monarch Apartments is the latest collection of superb one and two bedroom properties at Kings Park in Harold Wood, which provides the ideal first investment for joint buyers. With prices for a two bedroom apartment starting from £250,000, buyers can pool their resources together to get on the property ladder.
Andrew Loveday, Sales and Marketing Director at Countryside comments: “Buying with a partner or friend is a popular choice, especially for first time buyers. As well as making the apartments more affordable when purchasing together, the properties are the ideal size for a first home to share with a friend or relative. With spacious open plan interiors, and separate bedrooms and bathrooms, Monarch Apartments couldn’t be more ideal for joint buyers.”
The Monarch Apartments are designed with a range of layouts for contemporary living. The spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen areas provide a perfect place to entertain guests, with full height glazing that open up the room by offering plenty of natural light.
All bedrooms are well laid out and master bedrooms include fitted wardrobes. In the two bedroom properties, all of the master bedrooms include en-suite shower rooms. The kitchens are fitted with contemporary units of gloss white and wood finish, with dark grey ceramic floor tiles and integrated SMEG appliances such as an oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
Bathrooms come complete with white sanitaryware and chrome accessories. Residents also benefit from car parking, at an additional cost and cycle storage facilities as well as audio/video entry phone systems for high levels of security.
The adjacent Harold Wood Station boasts an excellent journey time into London Liverpool Street of just 35 minutes. From 2018 buyers will benefit from the introduction of Crossrail which will be available from Harold Wood Station and bring forward even faster journeys into and across London, all the way to Heathrow Airport and beyond. Harold Wood also benefits from two London bus routes, both of which accept Oyster, that take residents into surrounding towns such as Hornchurch for the District Line and Romford for shopping at the Liberty Shopping Centre. The road links are superb too with the A127 and A12 just a few minutes from Kings Park, both with access to the M25 for onward travel.
In the immediate vicinity there are a great range of local amenities including a Post Office, supermarket, travel agent, several hairdressers, a bakery and a restaurant.

Bedfords Park and Weald Country Park are also close by.
