Compact and affordable - Studio apartments in Romford

Studio apartments have finally coming into their own, becoming more appealing to the discerning investor and first time buyer alike. Bellway Thames Gateway North has 18 studio apartments for sale in its new development Cotton Gardens, just moments from the centre of Romford.

Cotton Gardens is a development perfect for commuters. London Liverpool Street is just half an hour away from Romford’s train station, while the A12 provides a fast route for drivers and the M25 is conveniently close-by.

Properties at Cotton Gardens are ideal for the strapped-for-cash first time buyer. Studios start at just £140,000 and Bellway is also offering to pay 5% deposit and legal fees.

The development offers one-for-one parking all underground and podium decked gardens. All apartments have balconies while two top floor two bedroom apartments have their own terrace.

Speaking of the development, Peter Knights, Sales Manager for Bellway Thames Gateway North, said: “The studios at Cottons Gardens make great first time homes. Studios have a greater appeal today than they did a few years ago, first time buyers are finding that banks and mortgage lenders are now more willing to lend against them.”

Romford town centre is only a short walk away from Cotton Gardens. The town has seen major investment recently and, through the Thames Gateway Regeneration Initiative, continues to grow and thrive. It has been a traditional market town since the 13th century and remains a great shopping and leisure destination offering a host of top retail names.

Close by, The Brewery not only offers more big name shops but also a supermarket, bowling alley, restaurants and a 16 screen cinema. Of course, no shopping expedition would be complete without a visit to the famous Romford Market, open three days a week. It’s the largest street market in south east England.

The town now also boasts a regular Farmers’ Market and French Market for fresh local produce - and exotic treats!

The main High Street, and South Street, not only feature a fabulous selection of individual shops and boutiques but also numerous cafes, pubs, bars and clubs.
