Commuters seeking a great deal on stylish apartments in Croydon should find out more about a fantastic special offer available now at Aura, Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after new development off Sydenham Road.
Discerning buyers have been quick to choose their favourite plots from this stunning collection of one, two and three-bedroom Croydon flats – taking advantage of the leading housebuilder’s great-value prices.
To help reduce costs for home-buyers even further, Taylor Wimpey is offering to pay commuter fares into central London for a year* for the lucky purchasers who reserve selected plots at this exciting development of apartments for sale in Croydon now.
Susan Joseph, Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our development at Aura is incredibly popular, with these stylish properties in Croydon being snapped up at the rate of one a week.
“We understand that purchasing a home can be a daunting prospect for buyers in search of Croydon apartments on a tight budget, so our fantastic offer to pay commuter fares into central London will provide significant savings day after day for a full year.
“We have a choice of smart one-bedroom apartments from just £197,500, spacious two-bedroom designs with en-suite master bedrooms starting at only £249,995, and superb three-bedroom properties for as little as £284,995 – but at such exceptional value in such a well-connected location, we don’t expect them to be available for long.”
Qualifying first-time buyers can alternatively take advantage of the leading housebuilder’s Easy Start shared equity scheme if they choose the one-bedroom apartment at Plot 33 of Russell House, meaning they can secure this property now for just £167,875** – that’s 85% of the asking price!
The lucky purchaser only needs a deposit of as little as 5% of the full purchase price to secure their first home, while Taylor Wimpey will provide a 15% interest-free loan to boost this down payment, which can be repaid in up to three instalments over a 10-year period, at the market value of the property.
The stylish apartment at Plot 33 enjoys a superb living/dining room, perfect for relaxing and entertaining, with a contemporary fitted open-plan kitchen. The spacious master bedroom, main bathroom and handy storage closet are also located off the private entrance hallway. This property also benefits from access to a beautiful communal garden and secure underground parking.
Commuters will appreciate that Aura is just a short walk from East Croydon railway station, which offers frequent services into Central London within 20 minutes and Brighton within an hour. Croydon also benefits from Tramlink, which has its main hub at the railway station.
The A23 and A22 are close by, putting the M25 within easy reach, and Gatwick Airport is just 21 miles from the development.
Croydon is a bustling town with excellent shopping, boosted by the massive Whitgift and Centrale Shopping Centres, which include Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and House of Fraser among the top names. A John Lewis at home is also due to open soon in Croydon and the town also boasts a host of restaurants, bars and night-spots.
Croydon benefits from a thriving cultural scene. The Croydon Clocktower arts complex houses the David Lean cinema, in honour of the director who was born in the town, as well as a museum and library, while the town also features theatres, a concert hall and a gallery.
Excellent sporting facilities include Croydon Sports Arena for athletics, golf courses, leisure and fitness centres and opportunities for sailing and riding.
Schools for children of all ages are just a short walk from the new homes and Croydon is also home to the London School for Performing Arts & Technology, known as the BRIT School.
For leisure and days out, there are a host of attractions within easy reach of Aura. Croydon Airport, which served as London’s principal airport in the 1920s, has a visitors centre in the old control tower with displays and memorabilia telling the history of the world's first international airport.
Chessington World of Adventures, with its rides and rollercoasters, zoo and sea life centre is just 15 miles away for a great family experience, while for a day at the races, Epsom Downs racecourse is just 12 miles away.
To the south of Croydon are the North Downs and beautiful countryside just waiting to be explored, while to the north are all the famous tourist attractions of London. Further afield, but still easily accessible, is the south coast and the delights of a day out at the beach.
