All aboard Acton at Station Square
Recently revealed statistics has highlighted Acton, W3 as being one of the top areas along the Crossrail line for opportunities of growth, with house prices predicted to rise 48% in the next five years, making this area ideal for investment. Following on from the huge success of previous phases, Countryside and L&Q are pleased to bring to the market Liberty Quarter’s Station Square Apartments at Acton Gardens in West London, boasting the ideal properties for commuters and investors alike looking for a wise investment opportunity.
Featuring a collection of 124 elegantly designed, contemporary one, two and three bedroom apartments, Liberty Quarter’s Station Square Apartments have been designed by architects Stitch Studio Ltd, to create stylish, contemporary homes that are ideal for modern living. Featuring floor to ceiling glazing to create airy and light filled rooms, the apartments all benefit from outside space with either a balcony or terrace, many with views towards Chiswick and over the landscaped podium gardens.
Perfect for city commuters, the Station Square Apartments are located adjacent to South Acton station on the London Overground, with routes to Richmond and across North London to Stratford. Acton also benefits from three tube stations, connecting the area to four London Underground lines, as well as Acton Main Line station for national rail services and Crossrail from 2018. It will cut journey times from West to East London by half, from almost an hour to Canary Wharf to less than 25 minutes direct.
Mike Woolliscroft, Director for Countryside comments: “The launch of Liberty Quarter’s Station Square Apartments will offer a further 124 apartments to the hugely successful and well established community at Acton Gardens. The properties are ideal for those looking to benefit from the superb transport connections in the surrounding area, especially South Acton station which is within close proximity. Also with Crossrail coming to the area in 2018, which is likely to result in a disproportionate increase in property prices over the coming years, buyers looking for a well-connected place to live couldn’t find a better location than Acton Gardens.”
The Station Square Apartments boast a superb specification, high gloss finish kitchens feature stone worktops, chrome accessories and ceramic floor tiles. A range of integrated appliances are also included. Bathrooms and en suites where included feature crisp white sanitaryware with chrome finishes and contrasting ceramic tiling.
Eco features are incorporated to help reduce energy consumption including double glazing, green roofs, solar panels and an energy centre to supply some of the heat and power, resulting in lower utility bills. The homes will achieve a minimum Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 offering low heating, power and water consumption. In addition, 10 per cent of properties are wheelchair adaptable.
Acton Gardens is a major £600m regeneration scheme in W3 delivering a vibrant new urban quarter that is already becoming a desirable place to live. Once complete, Acton Gardens will transform the local area, integrating perfectly with its desirable West London surroundings but with a style and character all its own. A model for 21st century living, the 52 acre site will eventually boast enhanced transport links, retail and community facilities and extensive open public spaces in addition to 2,500 new homes.
The plans for Acton Gardens also include a range of amenities to benefit the whole community and focus on The Hub, with 55,000 sq ft space for community use. This will also include a central plaza with a supermarket, new public open space and other community facilities, helping to bring people of all age groups together.
Green open space plays a vital role at Acton Gardens, with tree lined streets designed around a series of parks, squares and communal gardens, featuring extensive landscaping, play areas and allotments. In a nod to the traditional appeal of London’s parks and squares, the outdoor spaces are designed to create social, lively places for people to relax and enjoy, where pedestrians have priority and community interaction is encouraged. Nearby, South Acton Park also provides a great urban park with mature trees lining the footpaths and a play area for children. The plans also include a proposed new bus route and street network linking with the surrounding area, as well as a car club for residents use.
Designed and constructed in a series of phases, the first phase is now complete with people enjoying living in their new homes, and construction is well underway for second phase, Liberty Quarter, with occupation due in summer 2015. A further phase is due for release later this year offering 116 properties to be delivered by Winter 2016. A further five phases will then be delivered with overall completion currently expected in 2026.
Prices for The Station Square Apartments start from £375,000 for a one bedroom apartment, £499,950 for a two bedroom apartment and £585,000 for a three bedroom apartment. For further information on this superb new collection of homes, visit actongardens.co.uk.
