Reaching new heights with affordable homes in Harrow
Located in the heart of a popular north London neighbourhood, Origin Housing is due to launch a brand-new collection of 81 contemporary one and two bedroom Shared Ownership apartments at Harrow and Wealdstone Heights.
An impressive new architectural gateway for Harrow, the development, designed by Moss Architects, features two dramatic towers, finished in high-end Portuguese limestone. Eighteen stories at its tallest, Harrow and Wealdstone Heights’ modern, open-plan apartments will give residents sweeping panoramic views across London.
A central public realm will accompany the new homes at Harrow and Wealdstone Heights. Residents will have access to landscaped green spaces amidst the urban environment, while new play spaces and mature planting will dramatically improve a communal underpass area.
Delivering a wealth of new cultural facilities, commercial premises and green spaces to the local area, a multi-million regeneration scheme is set to transform Harrow over the next ten years. Origin’s new Shared Ownership apartments are ideally situated for new purchasers to benefit from the vast investment into the local area, providing an affordable route onto Harrow’s property ladder in this rapidly changing region.
Simon Scott, Assistant Director, Commercial and Property Marketing for Origin Housing, comments: “We are delighted to be offering much-needed affordable homes to the Harrow area. Building upon our long-standing commitment to the Borough, where we have developed hundreds of affordable homes in the last few years alone, Harrow and Wealdstone Heights will bring a large number of homes to first-time buyers in the area. With the London Borough of Harrow investing up to £1.5 billion pounds in the Borough with regeneration plans already underway, to provide a whole host of new amenities, environment landscaping and public spaces nearby, we expect interest to be high with purchasers looking to invest in an exciting north London neighbourhood.”
Harrow and Wealdstone Heights will deliver Origin’s exceptional standard of finish, with every apartment also providing access to a private balcony. A further communal roof terrace offers a unique vantage point from which residents can enjoy views of London’s skyline. Eco credentials include a ground source heat pump and solar panels used to power communal lighting.
Perfect for commuters, the development is located just a few minutes’ walk from Harrow and Wealdstone Station which is serviced by the Underground, Overground & mainline trains. Residents will benefit from easy connections into central London, with journeys to Euston taking just 15 minutes. Nearby Kenton station provides direct links into the West End and Oxford Circus, meaning Marylebone is accessible in just 17 minutes.
