Location and style at The Academy in Addiscombe

The launch of The Academy, an exciting new development of apartments and townhouses located opposite Ashburton Park in Addiscombe, near Croydon, attracted plenty of attention from local home buyers.

In fact the Fairview New Homes’ sales team witnessed the return of the ‘buyers’ queue’; potential purchasers waited in the rain for up to an hour with the result that eight homes were reserved off-plan on the day of the launch.

The enthusiasm generated by The Academy isn’t surprising. The location is fantastic; the development is close to an array of independent local shops and smaller High Street retailers and the Croydon tramlink, which serves Addiscombe ensures that all Croydon’s fantastic shops, sports, leisure and entertainment facilities are within easy reach. For commuters, the tramlink provides a service to Wimbledon, Beckenham and New Addington whilst from East Croydon station, the rail journey to London Bridge only takes about 40 minutes.

It isn’t only the location that has made The Academy so popular, though. The new homes provide the type of contemporary style that today’s buyers are looking for; carefully-designed living space is complemented by the latest fixtures and fittings.

The apartments are attracting plenty of interest from investors, first time buyers and downsizers. Currently, a wide range of two-bedroom apartments is available, the majority featuring private balconies and many providing en-suite shower rooms to the master bedroom.

Internally, style and quality has been a priority; kitchen units feature pear-coloured Shaker-style doors and are complemented by dark granite-effect work surfaces whilst bathrooms and en-suite shower rooms are fitted with elegant white sanitary-ware and ceramic wall tiles, complemented by the latest chrome fittings and granite-effect vanity tops.

“The excellent transport links and the fact that when complete, The Academy will be an exciting new community, including singles, couples and families of all ages, appeals to local homebuyers,” comments Tim McEvoy of Fairview New Homes.
