New flats in west London: Kew Bridge development with cinema room, gym and concierge overlooks 180-acre Gunnersbury Park
Though trapped in a no-man’s land between Ealing and Acton, Gunnersbury is a pleasant place to live, with quiet roads and a park on the doorstep.
A scheme of sleek Scandi-style apartments called Kew Bridge is a good reason for young Londoners to put down roots.
The glass and steel building could be mistaken for an office block, but the homes exude intelligent space planning and minimalist chic.
The fledgling developer Apt Living has maximised the important space. There are no wide hallways or freestanding baths, but there is full-height glazing, 3m-high ceilings, smart storage, multi-functional furniture, big views and the services that make your life easier.
Internal Crittall windows act as room dividers and allow light through.
There is built-in bench seating with concealed storage and a bespoke desk/dresser. These radiator-free homes are comfort-cooled.
Resident amenities include a cinema room, podium gardens and roof terraces, a gym, lounge and bike storage plus concierge.
The 213-home development overlooks 180-acre Gunnersbury Park, where a £13.8m sports hub is being built.
Kew Bridge Overground and Gunnersbury Tube station are about a 12-minute walk. Prices from £270,000. Call 020 3143 4888.
