Cool Camden living…

The Courtyards, Camden, Barratt London, 79 Camden Road, Camden, London NW1 9ES

Local architects Shephard Robson have designed this 164 home development to reflect the area’s Victorian and Georgian architectural heritage, combined with a modern industrial style. The eponymous courtyard gardens set in the s-shape of the property provide a calm communal area, with a design that ensures each individual property benefits from natural light, air flow and privacy. There are private balconies and terraces, along with a planted ‘living roof’ providing bio-diversity and great views of the city. The development also includes 300 cycle spaces and a 12-hour concierge service. The homes are in the heart of vibrant Camden and have great transport links thanks to nearby Camden Town tube station and Camden Road overground.

164, 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments.

Apartments were designed from the inside out to ensure maximum privacy without scrimping on daylight. Residents can enjoy the state-of-the-art rooftop gym, indoor pool and spa, or relax at street level in the two acres of landscaped green space and wifi-enabled central plaza. There is a 24-hour concierge service and the shops, restaurants and cafes set into the building ensure every convenience is within easy reach with Islington and Shoreditch only slightly further afield.

Lacey Drive at Edgware Green, Green Lane, Edgware, Middlesex HA8 8EH

This 937-home development will allow new residents to reap the benefits of an urban lifestyle without compromising on community. Choose from a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom houses, each with their own outdoor space in the form of a balcony, terrace or garden. A tree-lined boulevard runs down the centre of the development, with a network of paths and green spaces linking the properties. The area is calm and close to all the facilities young families need, including a Sainsbury’s superstore, Edgware Infant School, Broadfields Primary School and The London Academy. Should the tranquillity become overwhelming, Bond Street and the hustle and bustle of central London are only 35 minutes on the underground from Stanmore.
