Case Study :THE ANGELIS, ISLINGTON
OVERVIEW: PADS FOR PILATES AND PREMIERS
At The Angelis on Graham Street, London N1, Goldcrest Homes has unveiled
an exciting development of 45 one and two bedroom apartments and a flagship
penthouse specifically designed for the Islington lifestyle which revolves
around entertaining, fitness and café culture.
The Angelis will have its own movie suite for the exclusive use of residents
and their guests for viewing videos and CDs with the cachet of a West
End premier on your doorstep. Taking advantage of natural light, fresh
air and sunlight, Goldcrest Homes will create a health and fitness suite
on the third floor of the building complete with the latest gym equipment,
opening out onto an outdoor rooftop terrace ideal for yoga, pilates and
t'ai chi in the sun. Better than any basement gym.
The Angelis is the first Goldcrest development to be fitted with a Green
Energy electricity meter, part of the company's dedication to help reduce
global warming. The Honda Insight electric car, which is not only very
energy efficient, but is also exempt from the congestion charge, has been
purchased by Goldcrest to run visitors to the site just around the corner
from the marketing suite. When the development is all sold, the car will
be raffled and won by a lucky purchaser.
Electronically controlled access to the underground parking facility,
a sought after asset in Islington, is combined with lifts and stairs which
will provide access to the bright and airy apartments. There is a 12 hour
concierge facility with security back up outside these hours. Graham Street,
in the Regent's Canal quarter, is just three minutes walk from the clubs,
cafes and restaurants off Upper Street, the social and commercial heart
of Islington.
Trish Henderson, Sales & Marketing Director at Goldcrest Homes comments:
"The Angelis will redefine thinking on lifestyle features for the
Islington housing market, fusing the contemporary open plan spaces, advanced
wiring and high specification so popular in London's West End with the
attractive communal and social facilities essential to Islington's entertainment
culture."
Prices at The Angelis start from £249,000 for a one bedroom, £364,000
for a two bedroom and approximately £1.5million for the triple aspect
penthouse. For further sales information please contact Goldcrest Homes

THE APARTMENTS
The 45 homes for private sale will consist of one and two bedroom apartments
and an amazing fifth floor penthouse. The highly contemporary façade
has been designed to maximise style and light penetration with large windows
and Juliet balconies. The tiered south facing façade recalls the
lines of a sleek ocean liner and will provide two large communal rooftop
terraces with perimeter lighting on the third and fourth floors and a
1,700 sq ft private terrace for the fifth floor penthouse.
The apartments are a world away from the conventional. Gone are traditional
radiators, enclosed spaces and standard wiring. In their place, space
and energy efficient ceiling heating, spacious open plan kitchen/entertainment
areas and CAT 5 intelligent home wiring. The Schmidt 'Studio' kitchens
come with a comprehensive range of wall and floor units, Franke 1½
bowl stainless steel sink and mixer tap. Integrated appliances include
AEG oven, ceramic hob with stainless steel splash back, canopy extractor,
Electrolux fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is a separate laundry
centre with washing machine/condenser dryer.
Purchasers can select from a range of kitchen colour choices and also
have the option of slate-look ceramic floor tiles or oak laminated wood
in the kitchen area.
The master bedrooms in the two bedroom apartments have built in wardrobes
with sliding glass doors by Alco Beldan and an ensuite bathroom with Villeroy
& Boch sanitary ware, bath and Hansgrohe fittings, a thermostatic
mains pressure shower, CP Hart folding bath screen and heated towel rail.
Apartments will be wired for the Cardio Home Automation security system
which also enables a variety of tasks, such as curtain opening and drawing
and activation of heating, lighting and security systems pre-set by programming
the touch key pad before leaving the house or by remote telephone control.
This will be demonstrated in the new marketing suite show apartment.
Other features will include oak laminated flooring throughout the kitchens,
living rooms and halls with fitted carpets to bedrooms.
Situated across the entire top fifth floor of the building, the sumptuously
specified penthouse provides 4,200sqft of space consisting of 2,500sq
ft of internal living space and a 1,700sq ft private roof garden featuring
innovative landscaping.
The open plan kitchen/breakfast area opens onto a large split level living
area with a planer glazing system on one wall giving panoramic views over
the city and full height glass sliding doors opposite opening onto the
south facing private roof garden.
