Enjoy a sanctuary in central London

Jul 2 2020

Living in the city can often lead to a yearning for more time spent in the great outdoors – and after months of lockdown, this has never been truer. Homes with gardens are topping property search lists across the country, particularly in urban areas such as London, as buyers crave a space to enjoy the fresh air.

From a place to enjoy al fresco dining to a tranquil area in which to work out, outdoor space helps maximise enjoyment of your home, and promote mental and physical wellbeing. At Telford Homes, we don’t just build houses; we make homes – that cater for all resident’s needs. This includes taking a unique approach to outdoor space at our developments across London, providing multiple options for you to create your own outdoor sanctuary in the heart of the capital.

Private terrace or balconies, such as those featured in each apartment at our Gallions Point development in the Royal Docks, are ideal for providing outdoor space, even in a high-rise home. These areas can be decorated with plants, furniture and lighting to create a private urban oasis in which to relax, entertain, exercise or even work outdoors when the weather allows. Adding focal points such as artwork and mirrors can also take the design of your outdoor area to the next level – turning the space into an appealing and useable extension of your living area. In addition to a private terrace or balcony, the unique homes in the Sky Villa and Penthouse collection at our City North development also provide access to a private residents’ terrace and a beautiful communal landscaped roof garden – offering residents an additional outdoor area in which to relax or mingle with neighbours.

Sharing a collective outdoor space with others can create a sense of community within a busy city. At our New Garden Quarter development in Stratford, the homes are built around a beautiful garden square, comprising of two acres of landscaped parkland alongside a feature pond and play area. The area provides residents with a private oasis, hidden from the bustle of the city – to interact with neighbours or host community events.  Similarly, our Gallions Point development has three courtyard gardens, providing the perfect space for families to socialise and enjoy the fresh air without straying too far from home.

During the summer months, being located close to warm-weather activities also allows for more time spent outdoors. In addition to the two acres of parkland at the development, residents at New Garden Quarter are also a stone’s throw from Olympic legacy venues at The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – including the London Aquatic Centre, VeloPark alongside hockey and tennis centres. Similarly, our Gallions Point development is located just a stone’s throw away from the London Watersports Centre – offering a wide array of water-based activities to enjoy in the warmer weather.
