Step inside the brand-new studio show home at Rookery Grove in Hendon, recently opened to mark the much-anticipated final phase of London Living Rent apartments from L&Q. Following the success of previous releases, this final collection offers an opportunity to live in a great North West London neighbourhood at below market rental prices.
The studio, one and two bedroom apartments are ready to move into now and are available through London Living Rent, a government-backed scheme funded by the Mayor of London that allows customers to rent homes at a discounted rate. This helps renters save money each month which can be put towards buying a home. It also guarantees customers an assured shorthold tenancy of at least three years, offering stability in a fast-moving rental market.
The new show home has been thoughtfully dressed to demonstrate smart space-saving solutions and bright interiors. It features a neutral palette accented with bursts of colour, showcasing a selection of stylish tips and tricks that customers can incorporate into their new home. At Rookery Grove, each home offers private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or terrace, bicycle storage and integrated kitchen appliances.
Andrea Palmer, Head of Intermediate Rent at L&Q, comments; “We are thrilled to have opened the doors to our studio show home at Rookery Grove, giving our customers a glimpse into life at the development. Our previous launches have been extremely popular and demand for the apartments in our final phase has already seen high levels of interest. Aside from the high-quality build and design of our apartments, what really drives people to the area is the community feel.”
With 83 households now benefiting from London Living Rent at Rookery Grove, the development’s strong sense of community continues to flourish. One satisfied resident, Olauria, comments:
“I liked the idea of moving into a newbuild – they are more energy efficient than older properties and L&Q’s homes all came with integrated appliances so I wouldn’t have to worry about them breaking or buying new ones. I also needed space to work from home, and the open-plan layout of the apartments at Rookery Grove really worked for that.”
The local Hendon area offers residents at Rookery Grove an abundance of community assets. Foodies can enjoy dinners at Bang Bang Oriental a mere 15 minutes’ walk away, a popular restaurant celebrated as the ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ of Asian dining by The Observer’s esteemed food critic, Jay Rayner. Furthermore, Brent Cross Shopping Centre is just a 10-minute drive away. Exciting additions are set to be made in the local area as it sits within the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration Scheme, one of the biggest regeneration projects in Europe. The scheme is set to expand the Brent Cross Shopping Centre, delivering 150 retail stores, 50 restaurants, a cinema and a hotel alongside new residential quarters.
Offering the best of both worlds in the capital, the local area is home to plenty of green spaces. Local favourites include Rushgroves Park right on Rookery Grove’s doorstep, Sunny Hill Park a fourteen-minute cycle away and Hampstead Heath a bus ride away. A little further from home, residents can enjoy short journeys to Woodfield Park, Brent Reservoir, and Fryent Country Park.
One of the many benefits of a London postcode is the transport links, and Rookery Grove is no different. With two Northern Line Stations, Hendon Central and Colindale, both within walking distance, residents enjoy speedy commutes and easy exploration of the capital. Nearby Hendon Railway Station also allows for fast journeys into Central London, with St Pancras just 20 minutes away, as well as Luton and Gatwick airports in around an hour.
