Apartment scheme completes ‘oasis’ courtyard garden

Described as an ‘oasis’ and ‘like another world’ by residents, the courtyard garden completion at Barratt Northampton’s Centro, ends another chapter in the landmark development.

Centro is a prestigious apartment scheme in Northampton and is earning a reputation as an unrivalled development in the area, due in part to the location and many facilities available exclusively to residents.

As well as the courtyard, residents have use of a gym, concierge, and secure parking.

The spacious and contemporary designed area forms a focal point at the scheme, and is surrounded by four stylish apartment buildings.

Not only does it offer residents a peaceful retreat from the outside world, but is also an attractive landscaped area to look at.

The impressive courtyard incorporates instantly striking raised planting in large wooden boxes. As well as benches and pergolas, the whole area is paved in a sandstone colour, creating a modern, eye-catching, but calming feel.

And night-time brings a whole different look. LED lights set into the wooden boxes offer a relaxed and exclusive mood.

Tom Knowles, sales negotiator, said: “If you want the buzz of Northampton, or the tranquillity of the courtyard, Centro now has it all. Residents are welcoming their new outside space and it creates a genuine community feel.”

Centro, on Broad Street, is a development of 258 one and two bedroom apartments, incorporating 49 different layout options.

On residents’ doorstep is the town centre, which has a wealth of bars, restaurants, shopping and leisure facilities, and the train station, with a direct train link to London Euston. Also nearby is the M1, A43 and A45 link to the A14.

One and two bedroom properties are currently available, starting at £130,600. The development is open daily from 11.00am to 6.00pm. Find out more by logging on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
