As the winter sun cast its golden glow over the tranquil Welsh Harp Reservoir, families strolled along its winding trails, children’s laughter mingling with the distant hum of canoes cutting through the still water. Hendon Waterside, a serene enclave in North West London, seemed to encapsulate the perfect blend of nature and urban convenience. Amidst this idyllic backdrop, a new chapter is about to unfold—a rarity for the area that promises to redefine family living.
On 27th January 2025, Barratt London unveiled an exclusive collection of five four-bedroom townhouses at Hendon Waterside, a landmark development that has become synonymous with sustainable luxury. With prices starting at £1.25 million, these properties present an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a harmonious balance of space, style, and community, all within reach of central London.
While Hendon has long been celebrated for its waterside charm, new research highlights its growing appeal among savvy homebuyers. The average house price in Hendon is 29% lower than neighbouring West Hampstead, making it a compelling alternative for those looking to settle in North West London. Remarkably, Hendon is just one train stop away from its pricier neighbour, offering both affordability and convenience.
Joseph Antoniazzi, Director of Sales and Marketing at Barratt West London, captured the significance of the launch:
“These townhouses are a prime offering from Barratt London, providing a unique opportunity within the local housing market. With limited availability of new-build houses in Hendon, this collection stands out for its exceptional specification and design, making it ideal for families looking to establish roots in a vibrant and sought-after area.”
Spanning three levels, each townhouse has been meticulously crafted to cater to modern family life. Open-plan living and dining areas, bathed in natural light from skylights and bi-fold doors, create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The private gardens, perfect for summer gatherings or quiet evenings, extend the living space into the serene surroundings.
The kitchens are a testament to thoughtful design, featuring stone worktops, waterfall island countertops, and integrated high-end appliances. With an EPC rating of A, these homes embrace sustainability through features like solar panels and EV charging ports, ensuring that modern comforts do not come at the expense of the environment.
Hendon Waterside epitomises the ethos of waterside living. Nestled alongside the Welsh Harp Reservoir—a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest—the development incorporates over 170 hectares of green space. Residents can explore nature trails, enjoy watersports like canoeing and kayaking, or simply bask in the tranquillity of the area.
Antoniazzi explains:
“The design of Hendon Waterside reflects its natural surroundings, enhancing biodiversity with features such as over 200 bat and bird boxes, green roofs spanning 850 square metres, and the planting of more than 450 new trees. This commitment to sustainability enriches both the lives of residents and the local ecosystem.”
Hendon Waterside not only offers a serene lifestyle but also ensures residents have easy access to the essentials. The on-site Co-Op, Starbucks, and dental clinic complement the nearby Brent Cross Shopping Centre, which is just a mile away and features a variety of shops, dining options, and entertainment.
For families, education options abound, with several high-performing schools nearby, including The Hyde School and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. The development’s location also supports effortless commuting, with Hendon Railway Station and Hendon Central tube station both within walking distance, offering journeys to central London in under 20 minutes. Road links via the M1 and M25 further enhance connectivity, and Heathrow and Luton airports are just 30 minutes away.
