Last chance to secure parkside living at New Hendon Village
Recent research from the University of Exeter reveals that gardens and green space improves the wellbeing and quality of life of people living in urban areas. Using data from 5,000 UK households over 17 years, researchers found that living in a greener area had a significant positive effect on wellbeing and quality of life.
For those looking to secure a new home in an idyllic park setting, Genesis is offering the opportunity to secure one of its last remaining affordable apartments at New Hendon Village in Colindale. Situated in peaceful restored parkland, a new one bedroom apartment here is priced from £46,000 for a 25% share based on a full market value of £184,000.
The development sits at the head of Grahame Park, a great sweep of wonderfully restored parkland complete with tree-lined avenues and ornamental lakes. And if you fancy a change from your own parkland, nearby are the 250 acres of Fryent Country Park, a rural paradise of conserved meadows, woodland and ponds, while London’s favourite playground, the 790-acre Hampstead Heath, is just 12 minutes away from nearby Colindale Underground Station.
Buyers can purchase a share between 25% and 75% and increase their share at any time, all the way to 100% and outright ownership. New Hendon Village is available to anyone who does not already own a property and is unable to buy a home on the open market. Their total household income must be less than £66,000 per annum and ideally they will have savings of around £4,000 to cover moving and legal costs.
Being so close to a wealth of green open space allows residents to really unwind after a hard day’s work. New Hendon Village is the perfect place to be fit and healthy by cycling and jogging, or even take things slowly such as bringing along a picnic to enjoy lunchtime al-fresco in the park.
The buildings at New Hendon Village have been sensitively designed to make the most of views and natural light. Using the finest modern materials, the stepped apartment buildings epitomise contemporary style. And all the apartments boast the same high-spec finish and thoughtful design that have contributed so much to the development’s success. Inside, the calm, open-plan living space is flooded with light through the full-height glazing.
Sleek and modern kitchens feature solid granite worktops and ‘Roman cherry’ units and contrasting white walls, and come complete with a stainless steel oven and hob and an integrated extractor fan. Each one has its own balcony or courtyard garden, and a video entry system provides security.
New Hendon Village is part of Barnet’s ongoing regeneration, with excellent retail, social and transport facilities helping to make this part of north London the place to live in the capital. New cafes, restaurants and bars are creating a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The development is approximately a ten-minute walk from Colindale Underground Station, which offers Northern Line services to Brent Cross in five minutes, Hampstead in 12 minutes, Camden Town in 19 minutes and London Bridge in a little over half an hour. For travel by car, the M1 is nearby for access to Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds, while Heathrow and Luton airports are just 37 minutes away.
