The centrepiece of the impressive new two-bedroom show apartment is the superb open-plan kitchen and living room/dining room with serene cream walls and colourful curtains framing an attractive Juliet balcony.
In the master bedroom, the classic white walls and en-suite shower room complement the natural look of the wooden floor, while a Juliet balcony and feature wall add wonderful focal points. A second bedroom and main bathroom off the private entrance hallway complete the well-appointed accommodation.
A range of high-quality one, two and three-bedroom apartments is now available at Academy Central, with prices starting from just £129,995. Four-bedroom townhouses are also available at the development priced from only £264,995.
Selected new homes at Academy Central include allocated parking and each property is completed to a high standard specification, including central district heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Academy Central enjoys an exceptional location with great opportunities for work and leisure, and Vicarage Field, The Mall and Exchange Mall shopping centres are all within easy reach. A choice of health and fitness centres is also located nearby, while Mayesbrook Park provides acres of green space.
Goodmayes Railway Station is within walking distance of the development, offering regular services to London’s Liverpool Street in just over 20 minutes and to Stratford, home of the 2012 Olympics, in approximately 13 minutes.
Homes at the development are designed to be up to 25% more energy efficient than properties built just three years ago. Plus, the majority of homes feature ‘green roofs’ which help improve air quality, provide natural insulation and promote bio-diversity.
