Leading South East England developer Weston Homes has launched Watford Cross, a £44 million (GDV) scheme in Watford in Hertfordshire. Residents at Watford Cross benefit from incredible transport links into London from Watford Junction Station, providing the potential of a substantial commuter cost saving.
With an annual railcard, commuters will pay just £12 daily to travel into London Euston from Watford Junction which is £2.50 lower than the cost of the average London commute, saving a potential £650 annually.
Watford Junction Station located just five minutes from the development, offers routes on West Midland Trains, Virgin Trains and London Overground. With 143 trains on average per day from Watford Junction, residents will reach London Euston in just 16 minutes.
Situated on St Albans Road, Watford Cross comprises 115 private one, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with select plots providing private balconies and terraces. The 108,164 sq ft development will offer a mix of residential homes alongside commercial space. Prices start from £313,000 for a one-bedroom apartment, £448,000 for a two-bedroom apartment and £506,000 for a three-bedroom apartment. The development is set for completion in the summer of 2021.
Bob Weston, Chairman at Weston Homes commented: “Residents at Watford Cross will have access to competitive transport routes into London with over 140 trains a day reaching Euston in 16 minutes, whilst still benefitting from exceptionally finished homes in the leafy suburbs of Hertfordshire.
With the price of commuting a concern for most London based workers, residents at Watford Cross could be looking at a substantial saving.
Comprising two multi-level buildings, named Meriden and Orchard, Watford Cross is set to provide immaculate homes within leafy landscaped grounds and communal gardens.
Apartments will have a state-of-the-art specification and finish with each home offering forest oak doors with polished chrome ironmongery, oak strip wood flooring, choice of carpets to the bedrooms and audio/visual entry systems.
