GALLIARD HOMES LAUNCH CITYPARK GARDENS, HIGH QUALITY ‘HELP TO BUY’ HOMES IN SOUTHALL

Leading London developer Galliard Homes is delighted to be launching Citypark Gardens to the market. This high-quality residential scheme in Southall provides 133 apartments combining the best of green suburban living with superb commuter access to central London. Living up to its name, Citypark Gardens incorporates leafy communal spaces into its architecture in the form of three pleasant rooftop gardens for its residents to enjoy exclusively. Available using the Help to Buy scheme, apartments at Citypark Gardens are available with prices starting at £299,000 and the first residents set to move in early in 2021.

Located off Merrick Road, Citypark Gardens is poised to become a key component of the landmark regeneration of Southall into a green and desirable commuter suburb. As part of the London Borough of Ealing, Southall benefits from the Council’s partnership with charity Trees for Cities to plant trees for cleaner, healthier air. The charity and local volunteers have planted over 53,000 saplings and 6,000 trees since 2014 throughout the borough, with Ealing one of only five UK councils to receive Tree Cities of the World status, which recognises high standards for urban forest management. In the same spirit each block at Citypark Gardens will provide its own private landscaped roof garden with extensive planting. The three dynamic rooftop spaces will also link the buildings at levels 5, 7 & 9, with a fourth podium courtyard garden at the centre of the development. Together, the four-tiered level garden spaces will provide a calm, green oasis.

Arranged over three buildings, with the tallest reaching 13 storeys, Citypark Gardens has a smart brick façade with balconies to select apartments. The development offers a range of properties from studio apartments to three-bedroom apartments, with two collections available. The Citypark Collection comprises 111 apartments across all three buildings, finished and equipped to a high-quality contemporary specification. The Cityloft Collection is the latest phase, made up of 22 apartments occupying the upper floors of Blocks A and C, and is specified with premium finishes and an alternative interior design.

The £7.7m transformation of Southall includes new community and educational facilities as well as rapidly improving transport links with central London. The development is seven minutes’ walk away from Southall station, which will form part of the upcoming Crossrail connection and Elizabeth Line set to launch in 2022. Though Southall is currently well-connected to the capital by car and via Great Western Railway, the introduction of Crossrail will cut journey times to London Paddington in Zone 1 to just 13 minutes, with a new fleet of air-conditioned trains with WiFi passing through ten times an hour on their way into central London.

Every home at Citypark Gardens has a modern fully fitted kitchen with integrated Smeg appliances, open-plan living area and high-quality finishes throughout. The bedrooms in the Citypark collection have light grey carpet on underlay, walnut veneered floor to ceiling wardrobes and a soft tone grey wall finish. Ensuite and family bathrooms are luxuriously appointed with large format floor and wall tiling, feature walnut framed mirrored recess and stone vanity top.

Set to occupy the upper floors of Block A and Block C, the Cityloft Collection is the latest phase of the scheme, boasting 22 contemporary studio, one, two and three bedroom new-build apartments — the majority featuring either a private balcony or terrace. Each property from the Cityloft Collectionshowcases innovatively designed interiors, state-of-the-art integrated appliances by Smeg and plenty of storage space. The specification is designed to reflect up-scale urban style, utilising matt black fittings amid a fusion of dusky walnut tones, white feature brick tiling and antique bronze detailing. The bedrooms follow the interior design palette with matt black ceiling lighting, door furniture, skirting and socket plates to create an understated yet sophisticated space.

David Galman, Sales Director at Galliard Homes says, “We are delighted to be launching Citypark Gardens to the market, a development that will contribute to the regeneration of Southall and provides the perfect combination of city life and garden oasis for our residents, as well as providing high quality Help to Buy homes with a contemporary finish for young buyers. We’ve had a considerable level of interest from young professionals using Help to Buy, and we are looking forward to seeing the first residents moving in.”

Developing transport links, combined with major regeneration projects in recent years, have combined to make Southall an attractive spot for investment, accelerating its development into an attractive area for suburban living and economic innovation.

Prices at Citypark Gardens start at £299,000 for a studio apartment, £360,000 for a one-bedroom apartment, £430,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, and £600,000 for a three-bedroom apartment. All homes are available on Help to Buy.
