Buying a home doesn’t have to cost the earth. Metro’s London for Less series highlights homes where affordable schemes can give you a leg up on to the ladder.
This week: Whitelocke House, Hounslow, TW3, from £249,950 for a studio.
Using Help to Buy London, you can get on the ladder at Whitelocke House with a deposit from as little as £12,498.
Hounslow’s location on the Piccadilly line, mere minutes from Heathrow, means that it’s always appealed to airport workers, but it’s now drawing in residents from much further afield, as new cultural, community and leisure attractions – including a Cineworld cinema, which opened in May – are being unveiled, and various residential developments.
Whitelocke House, by boutique developer Harbright, is one of the most central as it’s literally a two-minute walk from Hounslow Central station and the many shops on Hounslow High Street.
Only a handful of the 32 studio, one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus study apartments are now left, all airy and well-designed with open-plan kitchen/living areas and decorated in soft Farrow & Ball shades that contrast beautifully with the oak grey flooring.
Sleek Kitchen Ergonomics kitchens are finished with white quartz worktops and Neff integrated appliances, and there is underfloor heating throughout the apartments, and the latest tech cabling.
The building’s accessed via a smart reception lobby and has a lift, lockable letterboxes, secure cycle storage and an audio-visual entry system, giving you peace of mind as you can see exactly who’s coming in. And at around £100 per month, service charges are reassuringly low.
