With its close proximity to Thurrock and London, along with many local amenities, combined with a demand for apartments that are stylish and offer a convenient lifestyle for individuals and couples aiming to get a foot on the property ladder, South Ockendon in Essex was the natural choice for a brand new development from Great Homes Limited.
The award-winning Chafford Hundred-based developer has spent the last few months giving careful thought to every external and internal design detail for the collection of new one-bedroom apartments that will stand proudly just five minutes of so walk from Ockendon's railway station in South Road. Great Homes is now delighted to announce that its team will start work on the development's construction in the next few weeks.
With brochures and prices to be unveiled shortly, the starter apartments are expected to be snapped up by those looking for a home destined to be a sound investment and yet offers the convenience needed to support a busy lifestyle.
"We are excited about this new project and expect it to be a popular development," says David Sparks, managing director of Great Homes Limited. "The development has been stylishly designed, and with South Ockendon railway station so close the homes will be ideal for commuters as well as anyone working nearby who loves the occasional trip into London for the day."
Journey time to London's Fenchurch Station from Ockendon station is around 30 minutes at peak times, making the capital's many career opportunities, its fabulous shopping, theatres, restaurants and concert venues all within easy reach.
Even car drivers will benefit from the development's location close to the M25 and A13 for trips into Kent, London and many major Essex towns such as Upminster, Grays, Southend and Brentwood, while London's Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted airports are a short driving distance away too.
The new development, located on the corner of South Road and Garth Road, will comprise eight apartments in total, designed to a cottage style in two separate buildings. They will feature coloured brickwork, attractive windows, entrances porticos and long sweeps of roofline. A 10-bay car park for residents' exclusive use will lie between them.
Internally, the apartments will each have a layout that uses the internal space to maximum efficiency and feature a specification that is both pleasing on the eye and practical. For example, each will afford a contemporary style kitchen with fitted wood units with black marble effect worktops, plus a number of integrated stainless steel appliances that include a hob, oven and an extractor fan above.
The bathrooms of each apartment will be presented in white to enable individualisation through coloured tiles, accessories and towels, while the sizable lounge and dining areas will offer space to relax and entertain. The modern apartments will have finishing touches such as Italian chrome door furniture and ash veneer internal doors, plus provision for essential telephone and internet connections will be provided, not only in these areas but throughout the apartments, along with points for terrestrial and satellite television.
The development offers the chance of a convenient lifestyle. Not only close to the station, it is within easy reach of South Ockendon's everyday amenities, and the nearby Lakeside complex at Thurrock has everything from bowling and karting to the latest films in the Multi-plex?. and an endless number of shops.
South Ockendon also has one of the oldest country parks on its doorstep for any new residents keen on walking and wildlife. The Belhus Woods offers fishing in its lakes, cycling along its specially designated routes, horse riding on its bridleways, rambling through woodland and picnicking or reading on its grass areas.
The newly launched development is likely to be popular. For further information and to request a brochure contact Great Homes Limited on 01375 484420, or visit its website www.greathomesltd.co.uk. |
