NEW YEAR, NEW HOME: NEW PHASE LAUNCHES AT BARRATT LONDON’S SPRINGFIELD PLACE, TOOTING

A new phase launched at Barratt London’s popular Springfield Place development in Tooting Bec. Foxglove House will consist of 18 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, available for private sale from £450,000.

Due to complete in summer 2022, the phase is expected to sell exceptionally quickly, having already attracted a large number of first-time buyers priced out of neighbouring Balham and Wandsworth. New homeowners can enjoy a fantastic south-west London lifestyle here with deposits from as low as £22,500 using London Help-to-Buy.

Springfield Place is the first new-build development to be available within the 82-acre Springfield Village residential neighbourhood, which is being created in the former grounds of the historic Springfield University Hospital. Bordering leafy Wandsworth Common and connecting Tooting Bec to Earlsfield, the village will total over 800 new homes, of which 300 will make up Springfield Place.

An on-site café, retail space, public square, provision for a new primary school, and a 32-acre park will be part of the wider area transformation. When finished, the new public parkland will be the first of its kind since the 2012 London Olympics.

Pam Reardon, Sales & Marketing Director for Barratt East London, says: “Since we launched Springfield Place last year [Summer 2021], the development has been one of our most popular to date. First-time buyers are coming to us, having saved over lockdown, looking for a new home near open green spaces without having to leave the capital. The south-west London location and value for money here tick all the boxes. We’re in Zone 3, but with the parkland surrounding us and beautiful listed buildings next door, it’s the best of both worlds.”

Helping to set the scene at Springfield Village, the central Grade II listed former hospital building is being carefully restored creating an architecturally rich and diverse landscape, including a listed chapel set in the public square at the heart of the site.

New and old will continue to sit side by side, where feature balconies and brick colour have been thoughtfully chosen to complement the existing architecture. Future releases will include two and three-bedroom houses set back on attractive mews streets, in addition to apartments.

The masterplan of the site has been developed by South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG) and includes the development of modern mental health facilities.

Getting around couldn’t be easier for residents, being just a 10-minute walk from Tooting Bec Underground with connections to London Bridge in under 18 minutes. Wandsworth Common and Earlsfield National Rail stations are also within walking distance.

Neighbouring Tooting Bec and Earlsfield offer a lively entertainment scene, and the area has a thriving foodie culture with Tooting Market, gastro pubs, Michelin-star and fine-dining restaurants on the doorstep. The borough of Wandsworth boasts over 1,700 acres of green space with Tooting Common, the largest, also home to the famous Tooting Bec Lido – the UK’s largest freshwater swimming pool by surface area.

Apartments at Springfield Place offer flowing, open-plan living, stylish fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, ample storage throughout, and all come with either a large private balcony and/or outdoor terrace. Prices in the new phase start from £450,000. For more information on purchasing at Springfield Place, please visit www.barrattlondon.com or call 0330 057 6666.
