Barratt London is launching ten penthouses at its Royal Gateway development in Acton, in the thriving London Borough of Ealing. The new Marquise & Peruzzi Residences will be set on the upper levels of two of the main buildings, which, in keeping with the royal theme, are named after different cuts of precious gemstones.
The Marquise building is the tallest of the six red and buff brick buildings, designed by notable architect Allies and Morrisons. At 16 storeys high, it offers panoramic views across London from the spacious, dual-aspect penthouses on the 15th and 16th floors. The neighbouring Peruzzi building, 15 storeys high, offers similar delightful views, as well as the convenience of having the development’s private gym and concierge on its lower floors.
Inside, the penthouses feature spacious double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. These prestigious new homes feature open-plan living/dining areas, while other penthouses include a separate living room and kitchen/dining room, allowing buyers to choose whether they prefer a more traditional or more contemporary space arrangement.
The penthouses all have access to private outdoor space boasting dual-aspect views east and west, owners can also enjoy the development’s attractive landscape gardens, roof terraces, and facilities including a concierge, gym, residents’ lounge, and children’s play areas.
Royal Gateway is perfectly situated for an easy commute. The new homes are seven minutes’ walk from North Acton tube station on the Central Line, with services to Oxford Circus in 19 minutes and Liverpool Street in half an hour, while Acton Main Line, eight minutes’ walk, is served by the Elizabeth Line, offering trains to Bond Street in 11 minutes, Canary Wharf in 28 minutes and Heathrow in 26 minutes. Once HS2 is fully operational, nearby Old Oak Common will be the best-connected and largest railway station ever built in the UK, with high-speed rail services across the UK.
There is plenty within walking distance of this development as well. Churchfield Road, in the heart of Acton, is home to independent boutiques and cafes, and Acton Park is on the doorstep, with a putting green, skatepark and tennis courts. In fact, 44% of Ealing is covered in green space and parks, so there is plenty of space to let off steam, and parents will also appreciate the fact that the Acton area boasts 152 highly ranked schools within a three-mile radius. Plus, the White City campus of the prestigious Imperial College London is just two miles away.
Joseph Antoniazzi, Sales and Marketing Director at Barratt West London, said: “London isn’t short on penthouses, but travel beyond Zone 1, and they become a rare find. By Zone 3, penthouses with concierge services are few and far between. While market research[1] shows some of the capital’s priciest penthouses have sold for over £100 million, we’re proud to be delivering penthouses at an attractive price point.”
“It's not just the views that future residents and investors will benefit from. As one of London’s best-connected areas, Acton boasts fast transport links that will only improve with the arrival of Old Oak Common. Royal Gateway will add to the area’s vibrant community, offering diverse housing options for first-time buyers, families, and investors alike. With strong capital growth potential and high rental demand, these penthouses mark an exciting milestone for the development and Acton.”
Prices at Marquise & Peruzzi Residences start from £1.25 million. For more information visit www.barratthomeshk.com or whatspp +852 9727 7731.
