Launch Of Shared Ownership Homes In Harrow

Known for its excellent transport links across the capital and beyond, the London Borough of Harrow is home to 10 Tube stations – and now a new collection of apartments available through Shared Ownership.

Origin Housing has launched 54 Shared Ownership (sometimes referred to as ‘part buy-part rent’) studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom homes at Harrow One, just a four-minute walk from Harrow-on-the-Hill station which is served by the Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways. A joint venture between Origin Housing and award-winning housebuilder Hill, Harrow One also includes 119 outright sale apartments, 90% of which are now sold.

Simon Scott, assistant director, commercial and property marketing for Origin Housing, commented: “We are pleased to be able to offer more, much needed Shared Ownership apartments in the well-connected and sought-after London Borough of Harrow – an area Origin Housing has strong connections with. We’ve seen a real demand for Shared Ownership homes in the area, and nearly a third of our Shared Ownership homes are now reserved since our launch in December last year, with demand for homes with their own outside balcony space considered a top priority for buyers after experiencing a third lockdown due to COVID-19, a key selling point at Harrow One.”

Each of the apartments includes floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the rooms with natural light. Energy-efficient appliances, high-gloss kitchen units and worktops feature in the kitchen and each apartment benefits from Amtico flooring in the entrance hall, open-plan living area, and underfloor heating throughout. Bathrooms are complete with stylish white sanitaryware, Hansgrohe showers and sophisticated LED lighting.

Wrapped around a landscaped podium garden, complete with planting designed to encourage wildlife, all apartments at Harrow One will benefit from private balconies – many with views of the London skyline along with nearby open green spaces.

With strong eco-credentials, each apartment at Harrow One comes with two cycle spaces and modern energy-efficient appliances. Other energy saving features include photovoltaic panels on the roofs and efficient communal heating plants serving each of the apartments, and available for a limited time, a free membership to the dedicated car club conveniently located on the adjacent road to Harrow One.

Just moments away from Harrow-on-the-Hill station, residents at Harrow One will enjoy swift connections into central London in under 20 minutes. Nearby Kenton station on the Bakerloo line will take residents into the heart of the West End and Oxford Circus, and the Overground rail service from the station offers trains to Marylebone in 17 minutes. By car, the M1, M25, M40 and North Circular routes can be accessed in around 30 minutes. Harrow bus station is around a six-minute walk from Harrow One, and for international journeys, Heathrow Airport is just 11 miles away.

Meanwhile the independent boutiques and coffee shops of Harrow on the Hill are just a five-minute stroll away, with local favourites including Battels Arts Café and Eighty Six Restaurant & Bar both easily accessible. Local Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ schools include Marlborough Primary School and Vaughan Primary School, as well as the renowned Harrow School.

Shared Ownership prices start from £91,875 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment (full market value £367,500), and £113,750 for a 25% share of a two-bedroom apartment (full market value £455,000). Local eligibility restrictions apply.
