Smiths Farm, Kensington Road UB5 6AH: 220 homes (110 Social Rent, 110 Shared Ownership) in 4–7 storey blocks with one to four bedroom layouts; brownfield regeneration with farmhouse and barns converted to a café and landscaped links to Northala Fields and Marnham Fields.
Affordable tenure split (110 Social Rent/110 Shared Ownership) and one to four bedroom family flats provide a route to ownership with sub‑25% initial shares where eligible; estate-scale landscaping and a community café add practical local amenity; prices and completion to be confirmed.
The site is to be a completely affordable homes-led scheme delivering 220 new homes across seven blocks, four to seven storeys high. The development will transform a brownfield site into new family-sized housing integrated with the community and a green environment, giving land back to public use and linking with existing open space that is close by.
The scheme provides both 110 homes for Social Rent and 110 homes for Shared Ownership, providing a mixed offer to households in need of appropriate housing options. There will be one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes, which open up to single occupiers, couples, families, and bigger households. Shared Ownership may have a solution in Northolt: Its address offers buyers the chance to step onto the social housing ladder in this established part of west London.
Smiths Farm provides a residential mix designed to support affordability and long-term occupation, as opposed to simply delivering private-market housing. The balance between Shared Owned clients who may want to buy for less than 25% and Social Rent provision to meet local need. It will be important to assess the final price levels, eligibility status, service charges, and layouts once complete sales or allocation details are made public.
The homes are part of a larger master plan that has community and green spaces. This is designed to add value compared with a standard apartment block, because residents will gain from landscaping, open space, and the more organised layout of an estate. A future photo set will play a key role in gauging how the buildings present and finish internally, their views and sunlight, the domestic spaces, and the common outdoor space.
A major element of Smith's Farm includes the proposed conversion of the locally listed farmhouse and barns to a café and commercial centre. This retains some historic character on the site while enabling active uses that could benefit residents and the neighbourhood. There are also extensive plans for tree planting to link the new properties with Northala Fields and Marnham Fields.
Set on Kensington Road, the scheme sits close to established residential areas and local open spaces as marked on the map. With links into the wider London, Northolt's appeal will be to households in search of a more suburban environment and local facilities, as well as schools, parks, and public transport options. The location may appeal to more budget-conscious residents inclined towards a greener, more practical place rather than being motivated by an address in central London.
Advertisement Smiths Farm is likely to attract clients considering new homes for sale in Northolt with a desire for affordable, modern layouts and proximity to green space. The flexible range of apartment sizes allows the scheme to appeal across a variety of household profiles, and its affordable tenure structure sets the scheme apart from many private-led schemes in West London.
The Final Specification, management arrangements such as parking and cycling provision, completion timeframe, and eligibility criteria will all be evaluated against the project. Future occupants will also have to weigh up transport links, proximity to local amenities, utility costs, and future-friendliness. It combines the delivery of 'truly affordable housing' alongside heritage re-use, landscape improvements, and a masterplanned residential environment.
