Bellway’s Penhurst Square proves popular with new tech purchasers

Croydon has the fastest growing tech cluster in the capital with this regenerated borough, home to over 1,000 new start-ups, which might account for the research by estate agents Foxtons that shows property prices increasing by 18% last year in the Borough.

The subsequent demand for new homes is being met by leading housebuilders Bellway whose Penhurst Square development of stylish one, two and three bedroom apartments and four bedroom houses is being launched next month. Each of the homes bears the Bellway hallmark of modern living with high specification but also places commuters in a perfect position for transport links into Croydon, Central London and beyond.

Mark Harrop, Head of Sales at Bellway Homes South London comments: “The borough is undergoing huge regeneration and we are happy to be meeting the growing need for stylish new homes to accommodate the number of purchasers. In particular, those individuals who want to take advantage of being close to start-up sites such as the new Sussex Innovation Centre Croydon and also need easy access into London will find an ideal home at Penhurst Square.”

Each of the stylish properties are finished to Bellway’s high standard and specification with quality fixture and fittings including a modern kitchen with integrated Zanussi appliances whilst modern bathrooms continue the contemporary theme with white Roca sanitaryware. Some of the apartments benefit from open plan living and a balcony to enjoy outdoor entertaining.

Residents will be well placed for day-to-day necessities with several convenience stores and supermarkets in close proximity whilst a larger selection of high street and independent stores in Croydon can be reached in just ten minutes by car.

Commuters at Penhurst Square will enjoy easy connections to East Croydon, West Croydon and Beckenham Junction via the Tramlink, which lies just half a mile from the development.

Car drivers will also be able to benefit from links to the A232 for Croydon Town Centre and Orpington and the A23 for London and Brighton.

As part of Croydon’s regeneration, a host of new amenities are being developed to add to the already extensive shopping, entertainment and leisure opportunities the area has to offer, including the well-known Whitgift and Central shopping centres. A diverse mix of restaurants cafes and bars in addition to several arts and entertainment venues, including the popular Fairfield Halls, ensures there are a wide variety of venues for all the family to enjoy.
