Silkstream

Development Overview

Silkstream is a significant new build community development by St George, a member of the award-winning Berkeley Group, located in the regeneration area of Hendon, London NW9 7TH (TFL Zone 3). The masterplan encompasses 9 acres and is designed as a nature-rich, low-carbon neighbourhood, strategically positioned between the Brent Cross and Colindale regeneration zones. The development offers a diverse range of new build apartments, including suites, one, two, and three-bedroom homes.

Focussing on providing concrete value, current pricing for available new build homes is competitive for the area. Indicative starting prices are typically from £415,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and from £550,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, with the overall price range extending up to approximately £919,000, depending on the phase and property size. The developer, Berkeley Group, holds a robust reputation, being ranked the UK's top homebuilder for build quality by HomeViews, with a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 80.2 (HBF, March 2024), significantly exceeding the sector average.

Property Details

The apartments across phases such as Bower House and Lindley House are delivered with a high specification. Each home benefits from its own private balcony or terrace. Interiors feature premium materials, including herringbone timber flooring, integrated kitchen appliances, and comforting underfloor heating. Kitchens in homes like those in Lindley House offer choice between the 'Blanco' and 'Jade' mood palettes, with the Blanco scheme featuring oak effect and platinum white shaker-style kitchens and a porcelain Belfast sink. Three-bedroom properties may also include a slim-line wine cooler. Furthermore, the development's commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through a cutting-edge EAHP heating system designed for increased energy efficiency and reduced running costs.

Residents gain exclusive access to 'The Silk Club,' a comprehensive suite of on-site amenities. This includes a 24-hour concierge, a contemporary gym and fitness studio, a sociable residents’ lounge, a dedicated co-working area with meeting spaces and teleconferencing booths, and two private screening rooms for entertainment.

The Silkstream development is situated to provide excellent connectivity. Hendon Station (Thameslink) is an approximate 6-minute walk, facilitating a fast 19-minute commute to King's Cross St Pancras. Further connections are provided by the Northern Line via a short bus journey to Hendon Central Station. Major road access is highly convenient via the close proximity to the M1, A5, and North Circular (A406).
