L&Q Hosts Summer Viewing Day Event at Croydon Development
For property-seekers looking to secure a new and affordable home in a South London hotspot, L&Q hosted a viewing day event on Saturday 20th July at Addiscombe Oaks in Croydon, a development which offers a wide range of Shared Ownership apartments on the doorstep of many amenities and transport links.
Guests at this event, located just a few minutes’ walk from East Croydon railway station, had the opportunity to speak to the L&Q sales team, learn more about the development and Shared Ownership, and be one of the first to tour a brand-new show home launched on the day. Complimentary refreshments were available to all guests.
There’s also an incentive for reservations at Addiscombe Oaks running throughout July – an Ikea voucher worth £3,500 on two-bedroom homes, and one worth £4,000 for three-bedroom homes.
The new two-bedroom show apartment is a perfect example of the specification of the Shared Ownership homes for sale at Addiscombe Oaks. Thanks to specialist interior designers Suna, guests were able to see the potential of buying a ‘blank canvas’ new build home and putting their own personal stamp on it when they move in.
All the properties at Addiscombe Oaks benefit from a private outdoor space accessible from the spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. The well-designed kitchens feature stainless steel splashback and a range of integrated appliances including oven, ceramic hob, extractor, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There’s also a free-standing washer/dryer located in a store cupboard off the hallway. Bathrooms and en-suites feature white sanitaryware, chrome fittings, full height and width mirror, and neutral-shade ceramic tiling to walls and floors. All other rooms have carpet or flooring as standard. Primary bedrooms come with a fitted wardrobe.
The homes offer underfloor heating and LED lighting, helpful for first-time buyers eager to keep monthly costs low - and the use of air source heat pumps (ASHP) is a big step forward in sustainability. Lighting of the private outside spaces also incorporates photocell technology. Fuel-free travel is encouraged with communal bicycle storage for every home. The residents-only gardens are a tranquil, landscaped place to relax.
An array of amenities, retail options and wellness facilities nearby make Addiscombe Oaks a well-served, vibrant place to live. Amongst the many places within a few minutes of homes are BOXPARK, the Whitgift Shopping Centre, Surrey Street Market and the world-class sports centre at Croydon College. Nuffield Health Gym can be reached in 11 minutes on foot and being in the catchment area of Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ primary schools is ideal for young families.
For public green space, there’s an abundance of options including Park Hill, Lloyd Park, Wandle Park, the Queen’s Gardens and South Norwood Country Park, all of which are within easy reach of the development.
Croydon is well known for its exceptional transport connections so whether for work or pleasure, residents of Addiscombe Oaks will enjoy direct access to rail, bus and tram links to places including London Bridge and London Victoria, Beckenham Junction, Wimbledon, Brighton and the airports at Gatwick and Luton.
