Taylor Wimpey has added to its existing portfolio of developments across London with the launch, on 20th October 2007, of its Thornton Heath, Croydon site, 793 London Road.

The UK's largest house builder is marketing the 0.32 hectare site under the Bryant Homes brand, providing an exciting and valuable contribution to the provision of new housing in the Croydon area.

The development will provide 32 one and two-bedroom apartments, and is ideally situated for buyers looking for great value apartment living close to local shops, and good transport links to Croydon and central London.

Getting to work or getting out and about couldn't be easier with Thornton Heath rail station around half a mile away providing links to London Bridge and London Victoria within 25 minutes. There are regular bus services outside the development to Norbury station which is approximately a mile away. From Norbury, Croydon is 3 stops and Balham is 2 stops away where the Northern line tube service can be found. The A23, M23 and M25 are readily accessible and Gatwick Airport is 23 miles away.

Croydon, one of the country's most successful commercial centres, is just three miles away, and buyers at 793 London Road are ideally placed to appreciate the convenience of a variety of amenities including good shopping centres, leisure and cultural facilities.

Simon Guest, regional land director for Bryant Homes: “We're continuing to make a significant and lasting contribution to communities across London. We're confident that Bryant Homes will deliver a development which will help to enhance the area of Thornton Heath. Our range of homes and apartments has a lot to offer purchasers with excellent transport links, amenities and affordable prices. As a Bryant Homes customer, buyers are ensured quality build and exceptional finishes and we anticipate a strong interest in this prime development opportunity.”

Work on 793 London Road has commenced with completions planned for late 2008. One bedroom apartments are priced from £185,995 with a one year 7% rental guarantee, plus furniture package, stamp duty and legal fees contribution, available on selected properties. Bryant Homes currently has a mixture of other family homes and apartments available across the region, including Waterside Park and Grand Union Village in West London, Holwood in Kent, The Edge in Middlesex and The Haverings in Romford.
