ICON, Burnt Oak Broadway

Icon is one of a kind. This innovative and striking development will form the centrepiece of Burnt Oak’s regeneration and its exciting aspirations for the future. A development brought to life as a collaboration between two award-winning architects, the initial concept was created by DRMM Architects, who pair state-of-the-art materials with sustainable timber and are celebrated for their socially conscious, joyful projects. The concept was then developed and brought to life by Frederick Gibberd Architects, who ensured the development was created with sustainability at its heart, from its design of servicing and selection of water and energy efficient appliances, to the biodiverse roofs. Standing out from its surroundings and truly elevating the skyline, Icon offers the very best in contemporary urban living within gleaming high-spec residences in two distinct buildings, wrapped around a central landscaped garden. Soaring to 13 storeys at their highest point, light-filled apartments are fitted out with everything you need for comfortable modern living, and all benefit from their own balcony or terrace. Statement communal areas and integrated retail beneath all add up to a truly iconic experience. With Burnt Oak Broadway right on your doorstep, packed with shops and world cuisine, and Burnt Oak Tube station minutes away, with Northern Line trains direct into central London, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy everything the capital has to offer.

A cutting-edge collection of 75 one, two and three-bedroom homes for first-timers, growing families or empty nesters looking for a new adventure – all available through Shared Ownership. In the Borough of Barnet, north London, Burnt Oak is an up-and-coming neighbourhood that has great transport links into central London but is also close to acres of open green space. It’s the best of both worlds, especially if you’re all about WFH or the new era of hybrid working. With a raft of regeneration planned for the area, now is a great time to invest here. Standing out from its surroundings on a thriving high street, the architect-designed Icon is an innovative landmark building you’ll be proud to call home.

Burnt Oak has a PTAL (public transport accessibility level) rating of 5 out of 6, meaning it enjoys excellent transport both locally and into central London. This means reliable buses, good walking routes, safe cycling and most importantly a Tube station only a few minute's walk away. Burnt Oak Underground Station is a four-minute walk from Icon. You can catch direct southbound Northern Line trains to Camden Town in 19 minutes, Euston in 22, Kings Cross in 24, Leicester Square in 27, Old Street in 28, London Bridge or Waterloo in 31, with all the interchanges to other lines.

Icon has been designed as an urban sanctuary with an emphasis on privacy, wellbeing and outdoor space – as well as a sense of community. As well as balconies or private terraces to all apartments, there is also a communal landscaped courtyard that will feature a playground, innovative planting and space to socialise. Several existing mature trees spread their branches at the back of the development. Other great features at Icon for your security and convenience are a communal noticeboard, bike storage, CCTV and fire doors. There’s a fob-activated video entry system and smart individual lockable mailboxes, while hotel-style lifts transport you from the statement-design lobby to your stylish apartment.

A home in the Icon development is the very best in luxe urban living, with high-end but understated contemporary design that leaves you scope to make your own mark. Open-plan living spaces, ideal for relaxing or entertaining alike, feature soft tones, high-quality flooring, recessed spotlights and built-in media and data points. Kitchens have contemporary units in shades of white or grey, soft-close doors and drawers, stone/concrete effect worktops and brushed-steel-finish integrated appliances that include fan oven, extractor fan, ceramic hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. A washer-drier comes as standard, cleverly concealed in a hall cupboard. All bedrooms have neutral wool-mix carpeting, soft downlighting, built-in wardrobes with mirror glass sliding doors and aerial sockets for boxsets in bed. Through to the bathroom you’ll find a calm sanctuary of contemporary white bath, basin and wall-hung WC, with LED lighting, natural effect ceramic tiling and smart chrome fittings. Some main bedrooms enjoy en-suite shower rooms with ceramic shower trays and thermostatically controlled mixers.
