Named to reflect the site’s previous use, SNG’s recently launched Post House will deliver a contemporary collection of 27 Shared Ownership apartments, with priority given to those who live or work in the London Borough of Hounslow.
Nestled between popular Southwest London hotspots such as Chiswick, Richmond and Kew, leafy Brentford offers urban living with a village feel. Providing a more affordable route to homebuying in the city, the site of a former Royal Mail sorting office is being creatively reimagined to deliver a range of affordable new homes. Post House will have one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments catering to aspiring homebuyers ranging from young professionals to growing families.
Demonstrating a neutral colour palette that makes it easy for new residents to stamp their personality on their home, Post House is complete with an aspirational specification, from the Symphony Inline units and integrated appliances in the kitchens to the sleek white suites and chrome fittings in the bathrooms. In addition to private balconies, patios or terrace areas in each home, residents can relax and socialise from the comfort of a shared rooftop garden.
Kalumba Musambachime, head of sales and build to rent at SNG, comments: “Set amongst the backdrop of Brentford’s exciting riverside regeneration, Post House is delivering thoughtfully designed layouts, carefully crafted interiors and sleek specifications. Within easy reach of a buzzing community, exceptional amenities and beautiful green spaces, Post House effortlessly meets the needs of modern urban living both inside and out. With a variety of homes available, Post House can provide a valuable first step for solo buyers, couples and growing families looking to get onto the property ladder in Hounslow.”
A range of convenient amenities, well-stocked leisure facilities and cultural gems surround Post House. Along with everyday shops and supermarkets along the High Street, Brentford’s creative spirit delivers a vibrant art and cultural calendar with opportunities to enjoy. For those looking to smash their fitness goals, nearby Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre hosts everything needed to create a varied workout schedule, including a 100-station gym, squash courts and swimming pools.
