Mill Hill attracts new residents

Mill Hill’s leafy streets and excellent local schools are attracting a new influx of younger professional residents. New and more affordable developments, such as Countryside Properties’ apartments at Ridgemont, are opening the area up to new purchasers, such as Mark Wong, who are attracted by the great local facilities and the relaxed way of life.

Mark, a 35 year old software developer, comments: “My wife and I have recently become new parents, so we decided that now was the time to buy. Having lived in and around London for many years, I knew that I wanted to be in Mill Hill now because of its great local schools, as well as the rural feel and close proximity to central London which has made the area very popular, and historically a very expensive place to buy a property in.

“When we saw Ridgemont we were really impressed by what we could get for our money, and completely fell in love with our two bedroom apartment. Countryside Properties has finished the apartment to a very high level which included all of the appliances we could possibly need within the price. We are thrilled to have a beautiful home in such a wonderful area and can’t wait to bring up our daughter in this vibrant London community.”

Ridgemont is located off Frith Lane in Mill Hill and offers cosmopolitan apartments set within attractive four storey apartment buildings. The apartments were built by Countryside Properties and joint venture partner, Annington Homes. All the homes have open plan living/dining rooms and separate contemporary kitchens which include a stylish granite worktop, cream gloss fitted units, an integrated ceramic hob, stainless steel oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a microwave. Most apartments also benefit from outside space, in the form of a terrace or balcony, and a parking space.

The development has been beautifully landscaped and offers residents far-reaching views across the green open spaces of the Mill Hill conservation area, Finchley golf course and North London beyond.

In spite of its green surroundings, Ridgemont is just two miles from Mill Hill Broadway’s wide range of high street shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. There are many leisure facilities in the local area, including tennis courts, a cricket ground, playing fields, equestrian centres and a Virgin Active gym. Residents also have easy access to scenic rural and riverside walks that feel a long way from busy London life.

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 for apartments at Ridgemont start from £215,000 for a one bedroom apartment with a balcony. The marketing suite is open from Thursday to Monday from 10am-5pm. For further information visit ridgemont-millhill.com.
