The only way is Chigwell - For hip young home buyers

Young and hip house hunters are expected to flock to Chigwell Row this October, as multi-award winning house builder Higgins Homes unveils stylish new apartments at its latest development, Fabrica. Located in the area dubbed the ‘Essex Golden Triangle,’ the launch of off-plan sales at the trendy development is set to coincide with the airing of season three of the popular Essex reality drama, The Only Way Is Essex.
Chigwell, made famous by TV shows like Essex Wives and The Only Way Is Essex, is set to attract young people looking to buy their first home among the local ‘jetset’ crowd that has included Sir Alan Sugar, former England captain Bobby Moore, Ashley Cole and comedian Alan Davies. TOWIE’s Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger also live nearby.
Jeremy Marcus, Sales and Marketing Director, Higgins Homes, comments: “The area around Chigwell has gained prominence in recent years, with TV programmes like The Only Way Is Essex putting this leafy town on the map. But it has a lot more to offer than the celebrity factor.”
Fabrica will offer nine contemporary one and two bedroom apartments, two duplex apartments and one three-bedroom, three-storey house. The development will also feature on site parking, single garages and leafy communal gardens.
The apartments will be set inside an attractive gabled building, with brick and wood work complementing the natural surrounds. Inside, sophisticated décor will accompany the stylish fixtures and fittings which will include a fabulous integrated kitchen and a chic bathroom.
Jeremy adds: “Like all Higgins Homes’ properties, the apartments and the three bedroom house at Fabrica will be designed and finished to the highest specifications, reflecting our desire to offer sophisticated living at an affordable price.
“In addition, Chigwell Row is right on the doorstep of the beautiful Hainault Forest Country Park and is approximately a 35 minute commute from the City. The location itself offers the perfect blend of countryside and city living.”
The region around Chigwell has been a popular residential area for many years, even described as ‘the greatest place in the world’ by Charles Dickens, who regularly visited the town. Much of the architecture that Dickens enjoyed still remains focal to the town centre today and offers residents a beautiful blend of historic and modern day British life.
Chigwell Row is ideal for commuters, as nearby Grange Hill Underground Station is on the Central Line and motorists can take advantage of a multitude of road links including the A12, M11 and M25.
Prices are due for release at October’s launch, while first occupation is scheduled for just before Christmas 2011.
