The Avenue: new north-west London homes near Europe's hippest street will appeal to buyers priced out of Notting Hill

Buyers priced out of Notting Hill continue to trail north up Ladbroke Grove and across the Grand Union Canal to Brondesbury and Queen’s Park, where neat Victorian redbrick cottages built by the Artizans, Labourers & General Dwellings Company, the so-called “five per cent philanthropists”, cast a spell.

These delightful, if fairly modest homes, originally rental accommodation for manual workers, now cost seven-figure sums, while the district’s late-Victorian and Edwardian houses, particularly those in the conservation area ringing the eponymous park with its bandstand and tennis courts, have media executives scrambling to put down sealed bids.

Into this rich mix has been dropped The Avenue, a scheme of 68 crafted, less-expensive, two- and three-bedroom flats with a handsome exterior of textured brick.

Prices from £775,000. Call Regal Homes on 020 7328 7171.

The address is part of a family-friendly district that boasts popular schools, shops, churches, a library, an arts centre and a health club, along with the organic cafés and wine bars of Chamberlayne Road, NW10, named several years ago by Vogue as Europe’s hippest street.
