1B Westpole Avenue, Oakwood, Barnet, EN4 0BD – Barnet
Located in the London Borough of Enfield, Oakwood is a pretty little residential town within easy reach of the capital, and the latest location for a new McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development.
The stylish apartments by award-winning builder McCarthy Stone will go well above and beyond standard homes. All one and two-bedroom apartments will not only be decorated in an elegant contemporary style, but also feature state-of-the-art security for added peace of mind - 24-hour emergency call systems, intruder alarms and a camera entry system compatible with standard TVs. The Retirement Living development itself will also have a private car park, lift access to all floors and a mobility scooter charging room.
Homeowners will be invited to make use of the exclusive Club Lounge with its outdoor patio and complimentary Wi-Fi, with visitors more than welcome to stay over in the dedicated Guest Suite.
The development is conveniently close to the Oakwood underground station on the Piccadilly Line, which takes you to London King's Cross in less than 30 minutes. This tube line also runs to other popular stops such as Finsbury Park, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Hyde Park, Hammersmith, Acton Town and Heathrow Airport (1.5 hours away), and of course connects to the entire Transport for London network.
If you'd like to be close to London, but still far enough away to get a touch of that country air, Oakwood is the perfect place. There are several green spaces around the neighbouring areas, including Oakwood Park, Enfield Golf Club, Oak Hill Park and the famous Trent Country Park. Trent Park is home to an historic English country house and its surrounding 320 hectares of grounds, as well as a lake, sports fields, a conservation area and many pleasant walks.
There are several shops and amenities located around the train station, including a pharmacy, medical centre, dental surgery, Tesco supermarket, bakery and newsagent - all within 0.2 miles from the McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development. For more shopping, Cockfosters High Street is well under a mile away, where you can find a Sainsbury's, Post Office, library, banks, butcher and several independent clothing boutiques.
Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
A good floor plan means having all you need in a smartly designed space. We are sure our quick tips help you pick only the perfect layout for your new home.
