Countryside releases its latest phase of Base at Newhall
Developer Countryside has released its latest collection of new homes at Base in Newhall, close to Harlow. The new release comprises a range of one and two bedroom apartments with outdoor space; three and four bedroom houses and a two bedroom coach house. Newhall is a growing urban village on former farmland just a short drive from Harlow town centre. New homes are being built by several developers. Countryside’s Base was launched in 2019, and is being delivered in phases. It will ultimately provide 993 new properties. The masterplan for Newhall emphasised the importance of green space to the overall development and in line with this 40% of Base will be dedicated to green space, leaving no home more than 60 metres from parkland or greenery and offering the best of both urban and country living. The first homes at Base proved popular with both those moving out of London in search of space and longstanding locals and there is already a well-established community of residents. Facilities include a new Co-op, beauty salon and café while a central plaza offering shops, library and health centre will be delivered by Newhall Projects as well. The latest properties at Base feature striking contemporary architecture, adaptable layouts, generous kitchens with high quality integrated appliances and large feature windows. All have a private parking space. Prices start from £235,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. For more information, visit basenewhall.co.uk or call the team on 01279 881649.
