New Home At The Triangle For Commuter Couple
Young couple Annie Duffy 27, and her partner Stevie Young 29, have bought a three-bedroom apartment at The Triangle, an exclusive collection of spacious apartments in Crystal Palace, by leading London and Home Counties developer, Hambridge Homes.
Upgrading and upsizing from their two-bedroom ex-council flat in Clapham, they bought as a fixer-upper as first-time buyers, they wanted a new build with more space and a modern layout that they could live in for several years.
Annie says: “We felt we had grown out of our flat in Clapham as didn't have as much space. We started looking for something south of the river to be close to family and friends and in Streatham and Norbury, but didn’t see anything we liked. We wanted a new build or something we could move into straight away that didn’t need any work, especially after our first flat.”
“As soon as we saw The Triangle we knew it was for us. We love the buzz of the area and the train links from Gipsy Hill, it was good value and we have got a lot of space for our money, it felt like home immediately. We both work long hours and commute into London and didn’t want to spend our spare time doing DIY, so we thought a new build would be perfect for us.”
The Triangle is a boutique development of just five two- and three-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom duplex apartments completed to Hambridge Homes signature high specification. Offering generous lateral interiors in a central location, homes are ideal for professionals looking for commutability and for first time buyers seeking a foot on the ladder. Every apartment benefits from its own private balcony, which was appealing to Annie and Stevie.
Annie continues: “We love our terrace it’s so nice to relax out there after work in the evenings or at the weekend. We also love that everything is new and all high quality, including all the appliances in the kitchen. We are very a happy with our new home and with Hambridge Homes.”
James Overton, managing director at Hambridge Homes says: “We are delighted Annie and Stevie love their new home. The Triangle is the perfect choice for those looking for a home in a commutable location, but who don’t want to sacrifice space or quality.”
