The Barratt London and TfL Zone 3 scheme will be launched in Hong Kong on 19 and 20 September. This first international launch will feature a total of 185 one, two and three-bedroom apartments with prices starting from £379,000. The first homes at Blackhorse View will be ready to move in by summer 2021, with every apartment benefitting from a private balcony or a terrace, as well as access to landscaped communal podium gardens.
Located directly opposite to Blackhorse Road station of the iconic and world-renowned London Underground network, transport is made easy for residents. With the Victoria Line and London Overground, residents can reach King’s Cross in 12 minutes, Oxford Circus in 16 minutes and are within easy access to Stansted Airport via Tottenham Hale. Located just a 15-minute ride from central London, this development provides a great balance for those wanting to live in the fantastic city.
The development also includes hundreds of cycle parking spaces for those who enjoy travelling by bike, with the transformation of the nearby Blackhorse Road junction making it even easier to travel more sustainably with new segregated cycle tracks, wide pavements and improvements to the bus facilities, including a new bus shelter.
Located just moments away are the luscious Walthamstow Wetlands, a 211-hectare site, with fishing, running, cycling and bird watching available, along with a visitors centre.
Residents will also have access to one of London’s most up-and-coming neighbourhoods which is situated just moments away, with exciting retail, restaurants and cultural activities. Already a thriving creative and cultural hub for East London, the trendy E17 postcode is bursting with things to do. Europe’s largest street market, Walthamstow Market, is a short stroll from Blackhorse View, as is the acclaimed William Morris Gallery, and there are numerous high street shops, cafés, and bars nearby. For those who prefer independent boutiques, quaint pubs and old English architecture, the conservation area of Walthamstow Village offers the perfect spot for a Sunday stroll.
Popular art school, Central St Martins (University of the Arts London) in King’s Cross is less than 20 minutes away from Blackhorse View, while UCL, SOAS and King’s College London are also easily accessible.
Pam Reardon, Sales Director at Barratt East London, comments, “The vision for Blackhorse View is to create a successful, sustainable place for people to live and work. Location is everything with this site. Not only is it right next to a Tube station, but by including new homes and mixed-use retail and commercial space too, the scheme is set to bring significant perks to the surrounding area, including new tree-lined streets, cycle paths, green spaces, cafés, shops and workspaces to help support local start-ups. In a zone that is becoming more popular, it serves as a fantastic investment longer-term, too.”
Having spent 2019 as London’s first Borough of Culture, Waltham Forest has experienced extensive regeneration in recent years, including the restoration of its Grade II-listed Granada Cinema and a host of new dining options, now a true foodie hotspot for London. And regeneration is still in progress, with Blackhorse Road junction set to be completely transformed over the next year to encourage sustainable transport and much needed affordable homes.
