FROM THE DEVELOPER

“The test of good housing is not whether it can be built easily, but whether it can be lived in easily.” Eric Lyons

The site on which these terraced and semi detached houses have been built has a long history of innovation. 100 years ago, distinguished local architect Ernest Trobridge built 3 chalets on this land using a novel idea for tackling the post-war housing shortage. His experiments with how freshly cut timber shrunk led him to patent his “Compressed Green Wood Construction” method. It would use local materials to quickly build affordable yet comfortable homes. Today, the chalets are gone but the innovation continues with these energy-efficient, beautiful, and competitively priced homes.

Savvy homebuyers know that self-built homes designed in close collaboration between client and architect or those built by architects for themselves are superior in both design and build quality. The numerous pitfalls of building a house on your own are well-known too. These houses embody the quality and ethos of a self-build or architects' house without the inevitable stress and mistakes of building your home. They are the result of a long-standing collaboration between a talented architect and a property developer with obsessive attention to detail. The delight of great architecture with the peace of mind of robust quality.

Many property developers treat their occupation as just a profit-driven business whilst compliance with regulations and energy efficiency requirements is viewed as a box-ticking exercise. If attention is paid to detail, it is often cynically directed just towards what can be seen and touched during a brief viewing like fancy bathroom fittings, fluffy carpets, and branded kitchen appliances. Kitchens and bathrooms are likely to be replaced every 20 to 30 years, while the structure and fabric of the building must remain standing and perform for far longer. Careless errors and poor decisions made during construction are often impossible or costly to remedy later.

These houses, on the other hand, were built to express the art of property development, to deliver class-leading homes at an attainable price-point with beautiful exteriors and interiors, optimal layouts, energy efficiency, free from careless mistakes, and fit for the future. Countless hours and late nights were spent to get even the smallest details right. An artisanal approach, for the pleasure of building well, surely beats one driven just by profit.

If you pay close attention to the quality and details, you will recognise these are probably considered to be some of the most attractive new houses at this price point across London.

The Development:

Influenced by the surrounding vernacular, a palette of subtle brick, large grey-green windows from Denmark, cast stone, and black roofs has been employed to create six beautiful houses surrounded by extensive greenery. The interiors are designed for modern life and defined by contemporary materials and forms.

Meticulously built to reduce energy consumption and maximise interior comfort, each house has an impressive range of environmental credentials, including triple-glazed rooflights, air source heat pumps, underfloor heating, solar panels, electric car charging points, extensive insulation, enhanced air tightness, and automated ventilation with heat recovery from exhaust air. The houses are thus constantly supplied with fresh air without needing to open any windows! Air-conditioning has also been provided to future proof against rising summer temperatures whilst solar panels will ensure minimal operating costs on the hottest days of the year.

The houses are built to comply with the latest stringent 2022/23 building regulations and the project has recently been featured in Brent Magazine as an exceptional case of highly sustainable development in the borough.

The interiors are flooded with natural light and feature clean lines as well as stunning kitchens with quartz worktops and a full suite of appliances. The living areas benefit from natural oak flooring while the bedrooms have been provided with generous built-in wardrobes. There is a consistent theme of matt black touchpoints and grey joinery throughout.

The generous private gardens will be attractively landscaped with a broad variety of evergreen plants and perennials, adding a dash of colour to the outdoor space while also providing additional shade and privacy.

Each house benefits from its own off-street parking space and a secure bike shed and bin store. The entire pavement and road surface in front of the houses has also been replaced.

The houses further benefit from pre-wiring for Virgin Media, extensive Cat-6 cabling throughout, “Heatmiser” smart hubs to control the underfloor heating, and pre-selected smart home upgrades which can be ordered via an online portal. A 10-year structural warranty by Protek will be provided to the buyer along with a private one-on-one handover to explain the operation of systems and services upon completion.

The Area:

Elmwood Crescent is a small cul-de-sac in a residential area close to Row Green Park and many other open recreational areas including Fryent Country Park. Located approximately 0.7 of a mile from Kingsbury (Borough of Brent) but equally as close to Colindale (Borough of Barnet) there is an excellent choice of public transport nearby including the Jubilee Line at Kingsbury and the Northern Line at Colindale, both enjoying an easy connection into Central London (24 minutes to Baker Street, 21 minutes to Euston).

Brent River College and The Village School are nearby and currently boast good and exceptional OFSTED results.

Although both Kingsbury and Colindale offer extensive shops and services, you can also find some excellent shopping in nearby Burnt Oak, Edgware, Wembley, Barnet, Harrow, and Brent Cross.

For those that commute by car then the A5, Edgware Road, is moments away as is the M1 junction and A406 North Circular Road all providing fast access to the surrounding locations. With Luton Airport just up the M1 or Heathrow off to the west then one's business or leisure trips become even more convenient.This information is indicative and intended to act as a guide only.
