Sonny Gowans
Are you ready to step into your dream home in NW2? Look no further! Our brand-new development is the perfect solution for young individuals and couples seeking their first property in London. With a focus on comfort, sustainability, and convenience, this development offers the ideal blend of modern living and city life. Whether you’re looking for a cozy and energy-efficient home, or a quiet and peaceful place to relax, we have it all.

A Focus on Comfort and Sustainability

One of the standout features of this eco-friendly development is its high-performing building fabric. Our team used over 3 kilometers of airtight taping during construction to create a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment for residents. This results in reduced heat loss, improved air quality, and consistent temperature all year round. On the building’s energy performance, all of our units achieved an EPC of level B, with some exceptions on level C, making this development an energy-efficient and sustainable choice for those looking for a new home. According to Mubarak, an Energist advisor, “This project achieves an impressive Carbon reduction with over 35% improvement over normal building regulation standards. The use of high-quality building materials such as highly efficient modern triple-glazed windows and robust thermal insulations, amongst other things, was essential in ensuring the fabric performance of the entire development is 31% better than building regulation requirements.”

Serene Living: Focus on Soundproofing and Airflow

Soundproofing was also a top priority, with high u-value triple-glazed windows and doors throughout. These not only reduce outside noise but also improve energy efficiency by preventing heat loss and drafts. For enhanced soundproofing, we’ve also installed high-value acoustic flooring that exceeds the required standards. This ensures that residents can enjoy a peaceful and quiet living environment. The high-performing Passivhaus approved MVHR system also helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the overall sustainability of the development, by constantly regenerating the airflow of the units and regulating temperature, without you having to open the windows.

Empowering a Sustainable Future

And because we really take environmental responsibility seriously, we’ve installed c120 solar panels to power the community, reducing energy consumption and helping to create a more sustainable future. If you’re looking for a home that is environmentally conscious, you’ll be happy to know that all of our residential units are powered by electricity, making this development the perfect choice for eco-conscious individuals.

Outdoor Oasis: Private Balconies and Terraces

For outdoor enthusiasts, we’ve included generous private balconies and terraces, as well as large communal terraces, providing residents with the opportunity to relax and enjoy the views from the comfort of their own home.

Seamless Living: Proximity and Access

With excellent transport links and the new Brent Cross West station just a 5-minute walk away, our development offers convenient living for those working in London. The easy access to the city and all its amenities makes this development an ideal choice for young individuals and couples. We also understand the importance of cycling as transportation or as a leisure activity for many of our residents, which is why we’ve included cycle parking for every property.

Your Ideal Home Awaits

In conclusion, our NW2 development is the ideal option for young individuals and couples seeking their first home in London. With its combination of comfort, sustainability, and convenience, this development is the ultimate choice for anyone looking for a new home in the city. From its energy-efficient building fabric, to its tranquil and peaceful living environment, to its easy access to transport and amenities, this development truly offers everything you could want in a new home. So why wait? Make the move today and start living your dream in your new home!
