There’s something appealing about a home that offers the best of both worlds; somewhere that offers urban convenience without sacrificing green space. Northwick Parkside, a new large regeneration project in Harrow, north west London, is shaping up to deliver exactly that
A joint venture between SNG (Sovereign Network Group) and Countryside Homes, part of Vistry Group, Northwick Parkside is positioned between the expansive 40-hectare Northwick Park on one side, and Northwick Park Hospital on the other. Residents here can step out for a morning run through the park, yet still be at Wembley Park in four minutes via Northwick Park station, or stroll to Harrow town centre or Harrow on the Hill for its independent shops and restaurants. It’s this incredible location that is appealing to buyers at this fantastic new development.
A range of routes on to the property ladder
Northwick Parkside is a brand new master planned neighbourhood, with a variety of different buying options to suit an array of house hunters.
For those ready to buy outright, one, two and three bedroom homes are available with private sale through Countryside Homes. With prices from £375,000, the private sale homes suit city professionals, second steppers or families looking to blend convenience and connectivity with parkside living in north west London.
Of the 654 homes in the first phase, 50% of those are affordable. Many first time buyers are struggling to save a hefty deposit, meaning they’re priced out of the open market, so Shared Ownership can propose a more affordable route into homeownership. At Northwick Parkside, SNG is selling a collection of one and two bedroom apartments available to buy with the scheme, with shares starting from 25% and deposits starting at 5% of that share. Each apartment comes with private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or terrace, and buyers can choose between two kitchen colour schemes to personalise their space.
Built with Running Costs in Mind
All of the new build apartments at Northwick Parkside have been designed with energy efficiency in mind. Eco-friendly construction, high-specification insulation and energy-efficient appliances all contribute to the impressive sustainability of the homes. In a climate of rising utility bills, this is a practical consideration for new residents as much as an environmental one.
A neighbourhood, not just a housing scheme
Once complete, Northwick Parkside will feature landscaped courtyards, green open spaces, and a vibrant community hub. It’s the kind of placemaking ambition that distinguishes genuine regeneration from a simple housing development. The pet-friendly development also enjoys the green expanse of the already established Northwick Park, with its football and cricket pitches, outdoor gym and playground, all less than a minute’s walk away, while the Northwick Park Community Garden is reachable in five.
Further afield, the quaint cobbled streets of Harrow on the Hill are just a 20-minute stroll from Northwick Parkside, offering pretty cafes, independent boutiques and cosy restaurants. Wembley is only four minutes by Tube from nearby Northwick Park station, which also provides Metropolitan Line services to Baker Street, King’s Cross St Pancras and Liverpool Street, while Kenton station, a 10-minute walk away, offers access to the Bakerloo Line and Overground.
Prices for the Shared Ownership homes at Northwick Parkside start from £93,750 for a 25% share of a one bedroom apartment, secured with a 5% deposit of just £4,688.
