CALA tempts first-time buyers in West London with a new show apartment

Award-winning housebuilder CALA Homes has marked the release of the latest phase of apartments at Ickenham Park with a new show home. These new homes in Hillingdon are in a contemporary style that contrasts with some of the other phases at the scheme. Named Metro Central, the modern architecture and retro interior design scheme of the show home is set to appeal primarily to first-time buyers and upgrading younger homeowners hoping to find a property in West London.

"We feel that with its strong clean lines, outdoor space, proximity to the tube, village location and prices, that Metro Central at Ickenham Park provides an ideal balance for younger people looking for a first or second home," says Alison Deakin, sales and marketing director of CALA Homes (South). "Metro Central is a very stylish development which emphasises CALA Homes' architectural design, attention to detail and high build quality which makes our new homes so appealing. The new show apartment shows how the space can be used for modern living."

Priced from £244,950, Metro Central's properties come in a variety of layouts: each has an open-plan living/dining room with separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and boasts a private terrace or balcony and designated parking. Some properties have an en suite shower room to the master bedroom in addition to the family bathroom - the bathroom in the one-bedroom properties is also accessible directly from the master bedroom.

The amenities of Ickenham Village are just a short walk away from Metro Central, as are public transport links including tube and rail links to the centre of London from West Ruislip and Ickenham stations. The A40/M40 and M25 are both only a few minutes' drive of home and Heathrow Airport is also within easy reach. Hillingdon is one of London's greenest boroughs, boasting many areas of open parkland, waterways and woodland and is right on the doorstep of the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire countryside.

The development and the new show property are open to visitors for viewings seven days a week, from 10.30am to 5.00pm.

Priced from £244,950, the new apartments at the Metro Central phase of Ickenham Park are likely to appeal to first- and second-time buyers, with a new show apartment sure to impress visitors to the CALA Homes scheme
