With the average asking price for a one-bedroom apartment sitting at a whopping £844,875, it is little wonder the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is recognised as one of London’s most exclusive property hot-spots. Home to Kensington Palace and Gardens, the Royal Albert Hall, and the popular Exhibition Road – which plays host to several major museums and academic establishments - the area is famed for its high-end, and quintessentially British aesthetic. With this in mind, award winning housing provider, Peabody, is proud to unveil a chic new collection of one-bedroom Shared Ownership apartments here, at their dynamic scheme, Boulevard, Royal Warwick Square.
Neighbouring the charming Holland Park, as well as a number of London’s most popular cultural attractions, Boulevard offers a stunning selection of affordable apartments at The Berkeley Group’s development, Royal Warwick Square. The scheme comprises just 26 one-bedroom Shared Ownership apartments, with many coming complete with their own balcony or terrace, as well as a dedicated concierge service. These top-tier homes will be available to purchase by those already living in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; meaning local home-hunters could be in with a chance to secure a home in this prestigious postcode more affordably than if they were to purchase a property outright.
Andrew Peglau, Peabody’s Assistant Director of Marketing comments: “This superior selection of Shared Ownership homes will offer buyers a unique opportunity to own a home in one of London’s most upmarket locations by purchasing a share of a property’s full market value. The nearby Exhibition Road with its notable British museums, vast green spaces, and fantastic shopping facilities are huge selling points for Boulevard, and the chance to live here is, undoubtedly, a luxury. Due to the unmistakably rare nature of this opportunity, we anticipate demand will be high. We therefore urge interested buyers to register their interest as soon as possible.”
Boulevard epitomises the word ‘convenience’. Enjoying a centralised location in Zone 2 – simultaneously benefiting from Zone 1 travel connections - residents can reach a plethora of amenities and sources of entertainment in a matter of minutes. Kensington boasts an abundance of choice when it comes to eateries; with sumptuous cafés, bars and restaurants that are sure to get the taste buds tingling. For some retail therapy, in addition to Kensington High Street - Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Sloane Street are just ten minutes away; ideal for making the most of the imminent January sales.
Notable cultural focal points, such as Chelsea’s Saatchi Gallery, The Royal Opera House and St Pauls Cathedral can likewise be easily reached. Alternatively, Exhibition Road plays host to the fashion lovers’ haven - The V&A – as well as the Natural History Museum, Royal College of Music, and the Science Museum; perfect for a day out once social distancing restrictions have eased.
For outdoor pursuits, The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea boasts a number of green spaces that are within a one-mile radius of the development. Holland Park is right on the doorstep; offering a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. This beautiful expanse of green open space boasts 54 acres of semi-wild woodland, formal garden areas, a charming Japanese garden, and sports facilities for tennis, football, golf and cricket. Kensington Gardens is also nearby; providing yet another verdant oasis in the heart of the city, and drawing attention from locals and tourists alike.
Whether it’s for business or pleasure, travelling from Boulevard couldn’t be easier. The location benefits from excellent transport connections, with Kensington Olympia, West Kensington, and Earls Court station just ten and fifteen minutes away on foot respectively; whisking travellers to a variety of destinations, including Heathrow airport in under half an hour. A number of bus routes are situated nearby, and for those who like to get around on two wheels, The Royal Borough is in the process of implementing a secure cycle plan; creating brand-new cycle routes to encourage healthier lifestyles, and offer safe pathways for those who wish to avoid busy or highly trafficked main roads.
