Barratt London is offering a unique new-build opportunity in a highly desirable south-west London location, following the launch of five houses at its popular Springfield Place development at Tooting Bec, SW17. Pear Mews comprises a selection of two and three-bedroom houses with prices starting at £794,000 and is expected to be popular with families and young professionals priced out of neighbouring boroughs Balham and Wandsworth.

Due to complete in early Summer 2023, Pear Mews is the first phase of houses at Springfield Place, which will eventually feature 232 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and two and three-bedroom houses, forming part of the wider 82-acre Springfield Village. Bordering leafy Wandsworth Common, and connecting Tooting Bec to Earlsfield, the new urban village will include a 32-acre park, retail and café space and public plaza – Chapel Square – as well as provision for a new primary school. Helping to set the scene is the Springfield University Hospital, an elegant Tudor-style building that will be sensitively restored and converted into apartments as part of the diverse landscape.

Set on a quiet mews street, located off Springfield Drive which runs through the heart of the development, each home enjoys an individual design. A spacious open-plan layout provides a seamless flow from the kitchen to the dining and living areas, while some of the homes benefit from a separate kitchen area. The sleek contemporary kitchens boast fitted Silestone worktops with matching upstands, gloss cabinets and fully integrated appliances.

Upstairs, homeowners will enjoy spacious double bedrooms, most of which include an en suite bathroom or shower, with an additional family bathroom for three-bedroom properties. The exterior benefits from a generous private garden, as well as an allocated parking space and electric car charging point.

Pam Reardon, Sales & Marketing Director for Barratt East London, says: “We’ve found Springfield Place to be a popular development with buyers looking for the perfect balance of a vibrant location with a tranquil atmosphere. Situated in an ideal Zone 3 location, with reliable travel links and nearby green space, the development offers the very best of the south-west London lifestyle and we expect these houses to be scooped up very quickly!”

Families will have a wealth of opportunities when it comes to activities and eating out in the local area. Nearby Tooting Common is home to the UK’s largest freshwater swimming pool the Tooting Bec Lido, with Totting Leisure Centre also less than a mile from the development. The borough itself has over 1,700 acres of green space to be enjoyed, comprising of trim trails, parks and community gardens.

Only a 15-minute walk away is the Michelin-starred Chez Bruce, offering high end French cuisine, with Tooting High Street a stone’s throw away offering a lively entertainment scene and restaurants from all around the world, including Tooting Market and the notable 200-year-old Castle pub that features an exquisite covered and heated beer garden.

To top it all off, the popular Soho House chain is opening its first South London restaurant, less than a mile away in nearby Balham.

Pam continues: “It couldn’t be easier for residents to get around the capital, with Tooting Bec underground just a nine-minute walk away and Earlsfield railway station only 20 minutes on foot. With Crossrail also arriving at nearby Tooting Broadway or Balham stations, Springfield Place is perfectly placed to provide homes near open green spaces without having to leave the capital.”
