Manager's Description

Show more "Opened in early 2016, Cheviot Gardens is a beautiful new development set in West Norwood. The modern, newly built homes are set within a lovely residential area with many local amenities to enjoy with friends and family, including shops and cafés, restaurants, a library, church and green spaces at Norwood Park and Streatham Common. West Norwood station is just a short walk from the property.

It has the added financial benefit of allowing you to own a 75% share without paying any rent on the remaining 25%, which could free up extra equity to enjoy life now. Shares of 40% or more are available.

Note that the 'extra care' services in Cheviot Gardens are available to tenants only, and not to shared owners. Similarly, ARCO membership applies to the rental part of the development only." Show less
