New homes go on sale this Saturday in Croydon at site linked to iconic David Bowie album

New homes at Cane Hill Park in Coulsdon will be unveiled next week as Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes officially open their doors at this brand new community.

The site, which was formerly home of Cane Hill psychiatric hospital, which featured on David Bowie’s album cover for The Man Who Sold The World, will open on Saturday January 30.

Already interest in the new homes has been high and Pam Reardon, sales and marketing director at David Wilson Homes, confirmed that a number of its homes have already been reserved by eager buyers.

“There has been tremendous interest in the new homes since we first announced plans for Cane Hill Park and several people have already bought off plan,” she said. “It seems the combination of this fantastic location, the design of our homes and the overall concept of the development is proving a real draw for homebuyers. We’re looking forward to opening our doors at the end of the month and letting people set foot inside Cane Hill Park for the first time.”

David Wilson Homes is set to release a mix of four and five bedroom homes at Cane Hill Park at the end of this month and will be showcasing its style and quality with the three bedroom Keats show home. Its four bedroom homes are expected to start from £619,995.

Barratt Homes will also be releasing a number of three and four bedroom properties.

Lynnette St Quintin, sales director at Barratt Homes, said the development is generating a huge amount of interest among a wide range of buyers. “We’ve seen an unprecedented number of enquiries from first time buyers, families and London commuters so we’re delighted to be able to officially open the doors,’’ she said. “Homes at the new development have been created to provide the styles of modern living that buyers are searching for in a new home.”

All of the properties at Cane Hill Park have been designed with energy efficiency in mind and will include rooftop solar panels as well as an innovative waste-water heat recovery system, allowing homeowners to reduce their ecological footprint.

An ideal location for commuters, nearby Coulsdon South station offers fast train services into London Victoria in just 26 minutes. Cane Hill Park is also conveniently located for London Gatwick as well as being a short distance from the M25.
