Metro’s London for Less series highlights homes where affordable schemes can give you a leg up on to the ladder – even in the notoriously expensive capital
This week: The Moorings, Brentford TW8, from £95,250 for a 25% share of £385,000.
An affordable flat in a tranquil waterside setting might sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly what you can look forward to at The Moorings.
Situated on the River Brent at Brentford Lock, you’ll be able to enjoy walks and cycle rides along the towpath leading to the Thames Lock on Grand Union Canal; explore the green spaces of Syon Park and Gunnersbury Park and sample the fare at local independent restaurants and cafés.
The neighbourhood is in Zone 4 and commuters can either take the train from Brentford station to Waterloo – a journey time of around half an hour – or jump on the Piccadilly line Tube at Boston Manor.
Homes are a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, all with open-plan layouts, floor to ceiling windows, handleless kitchen cupboards, carpeted bedrooms and private balconies.
A play area at ground level means that younger residents don’t have to stray far to burn off some energy, and there are fabulous views across the river and lock from the communal rooftop gardens.
See the homes for yourself on August 11, when the scheme will host a Cocktails on the Roof event from 5-8pm – make sure you book in advance via LANDGAH.
