Ideally located in the centre of Croydon, Highcross will provide one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for buyers who might be priced out of the local property market. The landmark 24-storey Highcross building is part of a larger development that delivers a new landscaped public square while also respecting the heritage of the Grade I listed St Michael’s and All Angels Church. Uniquely, the Highcross building’s entrance façade incorporates a section part of one of England’s first cinemas, now given a new lease of life as commercial space.

 

Highcross is within walking distance of bus and tram stations, as well as being approximately three minutes’ walk from West Croydon station and a 13-minute walk from East Croydon station. Services from the former run to Clapham Junction in as little as 22-minutes and to London Victoria in as little as 31, providing easy access to world-class restaurants, theatres and more. East Croydon provides a 15-minute journey to London Bridge courtesy of Thameslink – perfect for popping to London’s most famous food market, Borough Market, to stock up on gourmet treats, as well as for commuting. Closer to home, less than a mile from Highcross, gourmet flavours from around the world are also easily accessible at Croydon’s Boxpark, along with regular live music and events.

The energy-efficient homes have been designed to provide homes for today’s lifestyles. They have underfloor heating throughout to keep residents cosy year-round, while the interiors have been expertly designed around modern lifestyles, with integrated appliances, ample storage and sleek grey kitchens. The bathrooms have fitted sanitaryware, accessorised with stylish fixtures and fittings, with an ensuite to the main bedroom in the two- and three-bedroom homes. Blending style and comfort beautifully, the main living space features Amtico flooring and there are carpets in all bedrooms. With the exception of floor 23, where each apartment has a private terrace, each home has a winter garden ideal for working or exercising in, serving as an extension of the living room.
