Crowds of potential buyers braved the January weather for a taste of winter sunshine at the new show apartment launch at London Square Staines Upon Thames. Coconut stewed beef and jerk chicken were served to visitors at the Caribbean BBQ, while the Caribina Steel Band entertained. Interested purchasers were offered the opportunity of a £5,000 holiday voucher for reserving a new home in January and completing by March 22 this year. The collection of studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments in four striking buildings, is linked by a central courtyard garden. All apartments have first-class specification and stylish interiors, and private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or terrace. The development will feature a stylish piazza, with a pocket park, children’s playground and attractive landscaped areas. The station is a short walk away, with a 35-minute commute to London Waterloo. Prices from £329,950. Help to buy is available. Call London Square on 0333 666 0107.
