Apartment living is the key to an easy life in London

When it comes to owning an affordable and secure home with minimal maintenance and maximum time to enjoy your lifestyle, apartment living holds the key. Once seen as the domain of young city professionals, contemporary apartments are now proving to be just as popular with different types of home buyer in all areas, as they seek to accommodate their busy lifestyles.

The latest place to offer low-maintenance, high-quality apartment living is Redrow’s The Rodings, in Loughton, Essex – with properties due to be ready to move into this June.

Apartment living has widespread appeal for a variety of home owners of different ages and at very different life stages, as Caron Hutchins, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Eastern), explains: “First time buyers find that a brand new apartment is an affordable opportunity to step onto the property ladder without compromising style and quality. A new apartment also saves you time. There isn’t a house full of DIY, vacuuming and dusting or a garden to weed, which leaves owners with more spare time for a better quality of life.

“Also important is the community and security of a new apartment scheme. Many people looking to downsize and free-up capital to chase the sun abroad choose a new apartment, safe in the knowledge that they have a secure and beautiful home to return to.”

In a superb location for commuters, The Rodings is just a five minute walk away from Debden station, where you can jump onto the tube and be in the hustle and bustle of London in 30 minutes. It’s also a mere five minute drive away from Loughton High Street or for those who prefer more natural surroundings, the beautiful Epping Forest is only half a mile away.

The Rodings currently features a selection of two-bedroom apartments with prices from £245,000. Although designs differ, the apartments typically offer an open-plan living/dining/ kitchen area, along with two bedrooms and a main bathroom. Selected properties also feature an en-suite to master bedroom, a valued extra for some buyers, especially friends looking to join forces to buy their first home.

As well as being in an ideal position for commuters to London, The Rodings also benefits from its close proximity to Loughton which offers a range of amenities including bars and restaurants, as well as excellent shopping on Loughton High Street and sports facilities at Loughton Leisure Centre.

The development is adjacent to Epping Forest F.E. College, from whom Redrow purchased the land, and proceeds from the land sale are contributing to the college’s redevelopment, which will see outdated accommodation replaced by a new state-of-the-art building.
