Printmakers Yard offers the benefits of riverside living at an affordable price
In the minds of many first-time buyers in London, riverside living belongs firmly in the ‘someday’ category. Data shows that the average riverside home in London is close to 30% more expensive than similar non-riverside properties.
Printmakers Yard by Fairview New Homes in Brentford – a collection of one-, two-, three- apartments and four-bedroom triplexes positioned right by The Thames – is helping Londoners experience the joys of living by the river for as little as £370,000.
At Printmakers Yard, buyers can enjoy the perks of riverside living for significantly less than in London riverside hotspots like Battersea Park and Richmond, where one-bedroom new homes command prices of £585,0001 and £475,0002 respectively.
The benefits of riverside living
The mental and physical benefits of green space have long been known, but ‘blue space’ (close to water) can also have a transformative impact on our health and happiness.
Studies, such as those conducted by Environmental Psychologist Dr Matthew White, have shown that blue spaces have better air quality, more sunlight, improve Vitamin D levels, encourage exercise and social activity, and have an overall restorative psychological effect. Dr White’s research even indicates that the unique water-based sounds in blue spaces are more effective at reducing stress than calming music.3
First-time buyers at Printmakers Yard will benefit from their own private balcony or terrace, both of which are perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh riverside air.
The development will also provide direct access to the banks of Brent via a new public square, ensuring residents are able to easily make use of the blue space on their doorstep, whether that’s going for peaceful strolls, refreshing jogs, or just enjoying the scenic views.
