Barratt London is inviting prospective buyers from 17th-19th March 2023 to hear about Barratt London’s Springfield Place development, located in Wandsworth in leafy south-west London, an area in high demand for families with 57 outstanding schools in the area. Barratt London is launching a collection of two and three-bedroom family homes, which are due to be completed in Summer 2023, while a variety of two- and three-bedroom apartments are now available.
Wandsworth is in London’s Zone 3 and has been nicknamed Nappy Valley by locals for its popularity with affluent families. Such is the demand for large family homes in the area that in 2021 - 22 there were 3,207 sales of homes for over £1 million[1], this is 21 per cent up on the previous two years. Barratt London are bringing quality homes to the area that will help to serve the location’s high demand for houses.
The wide range of homes available at Springfield Place will help to cultivate a neighbourhood representative of south-west London, attracting young professionals and young families. The new houses are located on a quiet mews street off Springfield Drive, while the apartments overlook the communal gardens. All homes are designed for functionality and modern living, offering open-plan living areas kitted out with high-quality finishes across all rooms. The houses offer plenty of storage room throughout the property, with the exterior benefitting from a generous private garden and an allocated parking space and electric car charging points.
Springfield Place is a development with community at its heart and will also feature play spaces, an on-site café and a supermarket. A primary school is also proposed within the scheme which will make walking to school an easy and safe option for the children living at the development. For those residents that wish to send their children to preestablished schools, there are a number of well-regarded schools based in Wandsworth including Outstanding Ofsted rated Paddock School, Nightingale Community Academy, Finton House Prep School and Emanuel School.
The development is part of the wider Springfield Village regeneration project, which will establish a new residential community in this desirable south-of-the-river London borough, including a 32-acre park, the largest created in the UK capital since the 2012 Olympics. And, in the wider area – green space can be found in close proximity with Wandsworth Common just a short walk away and the borough itself hosting over 300 hectares of public green space. While residents will benefit from the area’s greenery, another key factor is the convenience and proximity to central London - it will take just over 30 minutes to get to Oxford Circus, 40 minutes to travel to Knightsbridge and for those looking to escape the city it takes just a 40 minute drive to reach Epsom.
For those looking to invest their money in the capital, south-west London is a relatively safe option – the location will only rise in desirability with parents relocating to get their children into specific school catchment areas and for those that choose to rent out their property there is the potential for rental yields of 6.1% according to Property XYZ[2].
Jeremy Marcus, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt East London, says: “While some consider leaving London to raise a family, the Wandsworth area provides the perfect mix of city life - with amenities on your doorstep which are pram-friendly, while also having the nearby green space. Widely considered a hot spot for families, neighbours are likely to join you on the school run and encourage a community of like-minded families. The legacy of Springfield Place has been heavily considered, from the architecture of the buildings to the creation of an urban village. These aim to secure a prospering community which will establish Springfield Place as a hub for south-west London.”
The collection of two and three-bedroom houses, and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are now available at Springfield Place, with prices starting at £471,000 for a one bed apartment.
