The development is ideally located for local amenities being approx. 300 metres from Stevenage Old Town Centre with its range of shops & general provisions but still in close proximity to the New Town Centre with its large supermarket and wider facilities. There are excellent local transport links with Stevenage mainline railway station within 1km (offering regular commuter services to London Kings Cross in approx 20 minutes) whilst the Bus Terminal, within 800m offer regular services along Lytton Way.
The contemporary elevation design of the buildings is simple and well proportioned, clad predominantly with brick and inset with glass, steel, wood & render (Blocks A & B) with predominantly buff brick with lightweight zinc cladding (Blocks C & D).
Each flat has access to private external space in the form of patio, balcony or terrace together with access offered to the landscaped courtyard. Each apartment benefits from car parking, the majority of which is secure/underground, where there is also separate provision for both cycle and motorcycle parking.
