Living on the edge

At its development, De Beauvoir, located on the City fringe, N1, Telford Homes reveals that it has tapped into a previously hidden market, with the majority owners/tenants at the scheme employed in the ?City supplier? sector. An industry providing crucial services to the UK?s financial centre, including IT, telecoms and law, individuals from this sector are moving in on the City fringe.

Telford Homes highlight that the requirements of this newly discovered local market are dynamic and stylish ?edge City? home provided by schemes such as De Beauvoir, (a sympathetic transformation of the Victorian De Beauvoir School into newly built and converted apartments) and Telford Homes latest development, ?Estilo? on Wenlock Road, N1.

Sheena Ellwood, Sales and Marketing Director of Telford Homes comments: ?We have witnessed an interesting trend at De Beauvoir, purchasers have not been quite the City profile that we originally expected. Instead our buyers seem to work in the industries that supply the City?s financial institutions with a range of services. The location of the scheme provides City access without the city prices and this is also true of Estilo.?

Estilo, is a contemporary mixed use of scheme of 43 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and commercial space situated adjacent to Wenlock Basin on Wenlock Road, N1. The development is ideally located for excellent access to the City and the West End yet offers purchasers a retreat from the hectic nature of day-to-day London living.

Positioned with desirable Islington to the north and trendy Shoreditch and Hoxton to the east, Estilo is surrounded by vibrant cafes, restaurants and other social venues, yet is an oases nestled against a peaceful backwater of the canal.

Estile is a truly contemporary scheme and has been meticulously designed in line with fast paced 21st century lifestyles. Telford Homes aims to provided purchasers a complete turn-key package, including a concierge service providing residents with a range excellent services and optional underground parking.

The commercial units at the scheme offer residential purchasers an opportunity to relocate their business close to home. London workers, astonishingly add four months on average a year to their working lives just by travelling to and from work each day. (Source: RAC Foundation). With many of the City suppliers being self-employed, they can also move their work closer to home.

The apartments at Estilo are spacious with most extending out to west-facing balconies or terraces overlooking the communal grounds and the peaceful Wenlock Basin. This combination of secluded private and shared space is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining or just a place to unwind at the end of a busy day.

The internal specifications of the homes at Estilo have been designed to delight modern tastes. The kitchens include German units by London designer Urban Myth, sleek stainless steel siemens appliances and sandblasted glass splashbacks. The bathrooms feature smart white bathroom suites with polished chrome taps and fittings by Grohe, ample ceramic tiling, large mirrors over polished stone shelves and towel rail radiators.

Prices at Estilo start from ?232,500 for a one-bedroom apartment, while prices at De Beauvoir start from ?295,000 for a two-bedroom apartment (including one basement parking space).
