Granville Place

Granville Place in Child’s Hill near Golders Green, London NW2, is a new ‘one of a kind’ development, on the site of a former commercial laundry, which has achieved the rare accolade of a Code Level 4 in sustainable housing design.

Granville Place has been designed and built by Tiger Developments in accordance with the highest environmental standards, making it one of the most ecologically forward thinking developments in the UK, that ensures minimum environmental impact and maximum sustainability. The design takes into account reduced carbon emissions, effective energy/water usage and conservation, sound waste management practices and use of environmentally friendly building materials.

The development is set around a series of beautifully landscaped communal courtyards and gardens. 64, one, two and three bedroom homes, all with balconies, patios or terraces have private access to these areas which are kept secure by CCTV, controlled access and secure underground parking.

Each flat is contemporarily designed for modern stylish living and finished with granite or reconstituted stone worktops in the kitchen and hardwood floors in all living areas. The flats are available for sale through leading property consultancy Knight Frank.

Cassandra Elliott, partner, Knight Frank, commented: “This is the first development I have seen that successfully delivers what the market wants with sustainability in mind. Apartments are filled with light, are tastefully fitted out and all benefit from outside space. This is an example to other developers of how to get it right. “

The area of Child’s Hill is fashionable yet quiet with excellent access to Golders Green and popular historic Hampstead with its independent cafes, bars and shopping. Golders Hill Park and Hampstead heath are both within a short distance of Granville Place, offering large green areas for activities and relaxation. The mix of modern city life with a more relaxed family atmosphere gives the area a really unique feel. Golders Green tube station is close by and gives direct access to the Northern Line and central London, while the M1 and north circular are close by, giving access to Hertfordshire.

Simon Fox development director at Tiger Developments, said: “We have worked to create a very special and original mixed use development at Granville Place that provides a quality private and social housing as well as commercial units. The private residential apartments are the first phase of the development to come to the market and the outstanding location coupled with advanced, environmentally sustainable design features, will undoubtedly attract considerable buyer interest”.

Prices for the apartments at Granville Place start from £275,000 through Knight Frank.
