The Dawson’s find the perfect home for a growing family

Joseph, Jane and their son Joe Dawson have recently moved into a home in Oakleigh Green, Annington’s range of newly refurbished homes in Whetstone, North London.

The Dawson’s were previously living in a one bedroom flat in Woodside Park, however with an 11 month old, they realised it was time to find a larger family home. Joseph comments: “We decided that we needed a larger family home, especially now there are three of us. We really liked the local area of Whetstone, it’s close to everything we need and there is an excellent range of schools nearby which will be great when Joe grows up.”

Oakleigh Green is located nearby to Totteridge and Whetstone underground station, where the Northern Line reaches central London within an hour. It is also well positioned for the M25 motorway. Commenting on the area’s transport connections, Jane says: “I work as a Retail Manager in Central London and Joseph is a London Taxi Driver, so his job can take him anywhere. We both needed to be close to a tube station with good connections and suitable road links for Joseph to access for work. Finding a combination of both of these at Oakleigh Green was brilliant for us.”

Annington has enhanced the surrounding street scene by introducing new landscaped spaces, a factor that Joseph and Jane were impressed with. Joseph comments: “We can see ourselves living here for a long time now we have our family home. The great outdoor space at the development is excellent when you have such a young child, it also feels very safe. Throughout the process Annington were very helpful.”

Each property at Oakleigh Green has undergone significant refurbishment with new kitchens with integrated appliances, new bathrooms, new front doors and new flooring throughout, and each home has an allocated parking space. With a fantastic location granting easy access into central London, the homes are likely to appeal to first time buyers, professionals, younger families and downsizers.
