The Place is a new build development comprising of shared-ownership apartments in the well-connected New Southgate in the North London borough of Enfield.
Designed by LABC award winning MH Architects, The Place is designed to be creative and energy conscious, with each home having its own outside terrace, balcony or winter garden.
Simon Scott, Assistant Director, Commercial & Property Marketing for Origin Housing, comments:
Recent research has revealed that a ‘dissatisfying commute’ is one of the main factors of people not looking forward to going into work, which is often down to the long time it takes to travel into central London*. Unfortunately, moving closer to the inner city is not an option for many potential purchasers –a shorter commute often means higher house prices, meaning many first time buyers are priced out of well-connected locations.
The Place offers buyers the chance to get a step on the property ladder, without the ‘dissatisfying commute’ – with trains taking just 14 minutes to reach Highbury & Islington, where residents will have access to the London Underground and Overground services, offering plenty of fast options to travel across the capital.
Located just minutes from New Southgate station – proposed rail improvements are also set to make connections from New Southgate even better, with the station planned to be the north termination point for the Crossrail 2, which will offer fast train journeys to Seven Sisters, Euston and Victoria train stations. Arnos Grove station is also just a short walk from The Place, where the Piccadilly line operates, providing a fast commute to St Pancras in just 17 minutes.
