Urban style comes to Mill Hill conservation area

Award winning developer, Countryside Properties, with joint venture partner, Annington Homes, is launching a new development of stylish, contemporary properties in the highly sought after area of Mill Hill, North London. Ridgemont, an attractive development of apartments and houses, is launching on Sunday, 17th August 2008.

The first properties to be released for sale at Ridgemont, located off Frith Lane, are contemporary one and two apartments set in attractive low rise apartment buildings in expertly landscaped surroundings. The development is a real rarity in London as it overlooks the beautiful green spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area. Residents have easy access to pretty meadows and riverside walks that feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of central London, yet Mill Hill East underground station is just over half a mile away, giving easy access to the attractions of the city.

Internally, the apartments are of a very high specification that ensures comfortable contemporary living. The kitchens include granite worktops, cream gloss fitted kitchens, an integrated ceramic hob, stainless steel oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave. Bathrooms include sleek white sanitaryware with chrome fixtures and limestone tiling.

Externally, properties feature sandstone and terracotta brick, ivory render, aluminium trims and cedar cladding. The architecture includes sleek angular lines, flat roofs and large window and balcony recesses. The first six apartment buildings are arranged around mature and manicured communal areas and each apartment has either an under croft or podium parking space and a glass fronted balcony or terrace.

Chris Crook, Subsidiary Managing Director, Countryside Properties, comments: "The Frith Lane area of Mill Hill is an extremely popular place to live, as it is close to the attractive open spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area, yet benefits from having all the amenities of Mill Hill Broadway right on the doorstep. Each property at Ridgemont offers spacious accommodation and the high specification renowned by Countryside Properties and I anticipate that the development will prove attractive to a broad range of purchasers, including first time buyers, investors and those looking to downsize from large family homes. The stylish scheme uses the very best in design techniques and finishes and epitomises the Countryside Properties ethos of building modern sustainable homes in excellent locations."

Ridgemont has been designed to utilise the elevation provided by the steep southeast facing slope of Mill Hill Ridge. The inclusion of manicured open spaces, expansive lawns and squares complement the countryside that borders the development.

Ridgemont is perfectly placed to enjoy Mill Hill Broadway, two miles away, which offers a host of high street stores, restaurants, pubs and cafes. The development benefits from an expanse of green open space around it, with views over the Finchley golf course and towards North London. For the sporting enthusiast, there are plenty of leisure facilities in the local vicinity including tennis courts, a cricket ground, several playing fields, the famous Frith Manor Equestrian Centre and a Virgin Active gym.

Mill Hill East underground station, on the Northern Line, is just over half a mile away while the M1, A1 and the A41 are close by. Mill Hill is also well served by buses, which run regular services into London and the surrounding area.

Prices start from £199,950. For further information, log on to Ridgemont-millhill.com.
