2 Bedroom Apartment for Sale at Phase 3, London

Some homes just have a certain feel as soon as you step through the door and I have to say this two bedroom apartment in Highcroft, right in the heart of Wallingford, surprised me in a gentle way. Of all the new communities in London, Highcroft stands out to me for more than just its architecture. You can walk out in the morning and you'll probably see someone tending to their little garden, or hear the sound of children laughing from the nearby pitches. Sometimes, when I'm there, I'll stop under the old trees and watch families heading down to the allotments—there's just a sense that everyone has their own spot here.

The apartment itself is easy to settle into. The main living space actually works whether you're on your own after work or if you've got friends over. Maybe it is the way the daylight comes in through those garden doors, or maybe it is how things just feel in the right place with no fuss. The finishes are done in that timeless style so nothing feels out of date and nothing is flashy either. The kitchen, honestly, is one of my favourite parts. You could see yourself actually cooking here, not just sticking something in the microwave. It opens out a bit, so people can chat at the counter while you're sorting out dinner or just share a coffee in the morning before the world speeds up.

Head upstairs and you have two proper bedrooms, both comfortable, both with that sort of settled feeling. I've noticed you get just enough space for a real double bed and still have a place for a desk or your own reading chair. Two bathrooms up here as well, and anyone who's ever shared a place will tell you what a difference that makes. Honestly, mornings feel a lot less rushed when you each have space to get ready.

Out the back you get your own bit of garden. Sometimes you see people out in their small plots with a book or a cup of tea, just enjoying the air. I think on an evening, having that space to step out and watch the sky change or hear the town quieten down makes more difference than you realise. The street itself is lined with young trees, and you'll notice the planners really thought about how people would live their lives here, not just about the brick and mortar.

There's a brand new primary school pretty much round the corner, which is a real bonus if you've got young ones, but actually the neighbourhood is already full of a mix of ages. You cross paths with dog walkers in the morning and sometimes see teenagers cycling to catch the bus. The green spaces are always close by. There's footpaths leading in almost every direction and usually a rabbit or two if you're out early. I've noticed that because the high street is such a short stroll away, you end up popping down for a coffee or to pick up bread more often than you'd think. The shops still feel friendly and local and there's always a café window with someone waving to a friend.

What I keep noticing about Highcroft is how finished it already feels, which you do not always get in a new development. Community things like the allotments, corner parks, and those sports pitches really bring people together in everyday ways. I guess what I am really saying is that living here just feels easy. Whether you are looking for your first home or you are ready to settle in and slow down a bit, there is a quiet confidence to this place.

If you want to know what it actually feels like to live here, come and take a look for yourself. Sometimes you only know when you stand in the space.
