In amongst the leafy green spaces of West London, Southall is known for its rich South Asian heritage and bustling independent high street. This community is evolving. With the Elizabeth line soon to offer residents a quick and easy commute into Zone One, Southall is gaining recognition as an increasingly desirable place to live. Here are homes for savvy first time buyers, looking for a strong investment, as well as bricks and mortar.

HERE IS EVOLUTION ...

Award winning housing association, Network Homes is offering one, two and three bedroom apartments and duplexes within Evolution, all available through Shared Ownership. Varying in layout and size, to appeal to a broad range of future residents, these apartments and duplexes all share a spacious layout, quality specification and intelligent design. Just a few minutes from the station, these homes are within easy reach of central London but still part of a home-grown community; a buzzy residential neighbourhood, where contemporary architecture sits alongside the quaint remains of the historic rural village of Southall Green.

With spacious living areas, these apartments are ideal for hosting friends and family for special occasions, or for enjoying the peace and quiet of your own home during a cosy night in. All homes benefit from a balcony or terrace, perfect for a morning coffee or evening drink. Residents have the further added bonus of access to a shared courtyard garden, a place for neighbours to stop for a chat, read a book in the sun or enjoy the first shoots of spring.

While only 15 minutes from Zone One, Southall is very much a community in its own right, with its own town centre and thriving local businesses. Known as ‘Little India’, Southall’s restaurants are considered as serving some of the best South East Asian cuisine in the capital. From quick and easy street food to wholesome meals at awardwinning restaurants, Southall has it all. The high street and market, housed within the historic Himalaya Palace Cinema, are bustling with independent businesses selling jewelry, fabrics and spices, as well as big brand store names convenient for day-to-day living. Peace and quiet can be enjoyed along the tow-path of the Grand Union Canal, home to the picturesque Willowtree Marina, or in the green spaces of Brent Lodge Park and Minet Country Park. Nearby Osterley Park, Syon Park and Kew Gardens offer further space for relaxing or exercise, all playing host to a string of events throughout the year. The 600-seat Beck Theatre in nearby Hayes is a popular local venue for music, cinema and theatre.

The apartments have been carefully finished, to offer luxury living without compromising on
practicality. Living spaces are open-plan, with all kitchens including fully integrated Smeg electrical appliances. A sense of light and space is created by the inclusion of a balcony to all apartments.

Tones of rich walnut are complemented with brushed metal throughout, creating a sense of contemporary urbanity, which nonetheless offers a blank canvas for each buyer to make their own. Walnut veneered doors and Amtico flooring are lifted by matte white walls and ceilings, as well as brushed metal switches and door handles. The kitchens are sleek, with concealed handles, soft-close doors and two tone designer units. A Recon stone worktop and splashback houses the stainless steel sink, including monobloc mixer tap. The fully integrated Smeg appliances include oven, ceramic hob, fridge/ freezer, washer/dryer and
dishwasher, making it easy for first time buyers to move straight in. Bathrooms are finished with porcelain tiles, mirrored cabinets and a white bathroom suite, complemented by chrome fittings, including a heated towel rail. With oatmeal carpet and fully fitted wardrobes,
the bedrooms are designed to be clutter free spaces of calm. Heating is thermostatically controlled and double glazing throughout maximises heat efficiency. Data and TV sockets are intelligently distributed throughout each home, with TV sockets set to Sky+ if a subscription is desired. Each apartment has its own audio/ visual entry phone system for secure access to ensure the safety of residents. There are lifts to all apartments levels and separate cycle and refuse stores.
