Feb 7 2022

Are you a first-time buyer looking to put down roots in the Capital but want the balance of a thriving community, great commuter links and unrivalled green open spaces? Then look no further than Telford Homes’ Lock development at Greenford Quay.

Here we tell you why the Lock is the ideal location to help you take your first steps on that housing ladder.

 

An Adaptable Space To Live and Work

The Lock offers 194 stylish, spacious apartments at an exciting waterside neighbourhood at Greenford Quay, West London.

Each one, two and three bed apartment in this stunning exclusive collection offers an expansive space flooded with natural light, adaptable to meet the needs of living and working life. The spacious apartments feature high ceilings, an open plan kitchen and living space, and modern fittings and fixtures throughout. With ample space to call your own, you can create a dedicated working area – a place for optimum productivity away from the rest of the living space.

The Lock also boasts an array of fantastic on-site amenities, including a 16-hour concierge service, a fully equipped gym, landscaped gardens, on-site cafes, a supermarket, and a flexible working zone as an alternative and refreshing space to working from home.

A Green Eden In The Heart Of The City

Located on the edge of the beautiful Grand Union Canal in Greenford, The Lock provides the perfect sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life, with nature to explore as well as walking and cycle paths through ancient woodlands, grasslands, ponds and hedgerows.

All homes within the development have access to either a private balcony or terrace, and the beautifully landscaped garden with innovative seating areas that sits between the two striking buildings that form The Lock. The wider Greenford Quay neighbourhood also offers garden spaces, sculptural play areas and a striking amphitheatre formed along the canal, with plans also in place to create allotments, allowing residents to grow their own fruit and vegetables from home.

Not Just A New Apartment, But A New Community

As a first-time buyer, you’ll be opening the door to not just a new apartment, but a whole community fit for a variety of lifestyles. In total, the masterplan at Greenford Quay will deliver 2,118 high quality homes, as well as over 20,500sqm of commercial space. The new neighbourhood features a new canal footbridge, an incredible listed heritage building and beautifully sculptured public space. It also features an on-site primary school, with award-winning nursery, Puzzle Monkey due to open soon. An additional health centre,  contemporary offices and a vast array of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities offer residents an exciting new neighbourhood, right on their doorstep.

Greenford Quay has been designed to be accessible, inclusive, safe and fun. The distinct character areas – the High Street, Central Square, the Grand Union Canal and Creative Quarter – offer residents and visitors alternative and innovative experiences. Central Square focuses on a balance of essential shopping, restaurants, bars and independent shops, as well as a leisure event space. The Canal Side is lined with restaurants, cafes and bars. The high street provides the ultimate shopping and dining experience, with outside seating and the Creative Quarter offers a range of creative and co-working spaces.

Easy Reach Of London

A short walk away from Greenford underground station, The Lock provides buyers with quick and easy access into central London via the Central line – perfect for commuting and enjoying all the incredible attractions the city has to offer. The development is also minutes away by tube to West Ealing, a future Crossrail station. Residents also benefit from multiple local bus routes, as well as a wide network of cycle lanes via the London Cycle Network. Extensive road links also surround the development, providing access to the North Circular and M25 via the A40.
