Which One Wins between these £1,265,000 London Apartments?

Hello Newfield Show, I'm Millie and today we are in West London exploring one of the city's most ambitious regeneration projects, White City Living by Barclay Group. Now today we're going to be exploring the development as a whole, its amenities and two show homes to give you an idea of the different options. This development offers a truly unique lifestyle experience. Across more than 2,500 new homes, it's built around eight acres of landscaped parks, gardens and tranquil water gardens, creating a rare blend of nature and city living right in zone two. We're just moments from two underground stations with White City and Wood Lane on your doorstep, putting the West End under 15 minutes away. You've also got Europe's largest shopping centre, Westfield, just across the road, home to over 300 stores. Okay so welcome inside, we are in the Solaris building right now and we're up here on the 10th floor to show you this two-bedroom show home. You can see in front of me now the views look incredible so I can't wait to have a look but first of all let's start in the entrance hallway, very spacious and we have this bit of a wow moment here, this is a marble effect console table so perfect place to pop your keys or have a little look in the mirror before you leave. We also have quite a bit of storage in here so just here on my right we have a place where you can pop your coats, even maybe your suitcases and your shoes but it's really nice to have that because sometimes an apartment might lack a bit of storage but they've got you covered here. Now further along on my right we also have a place where you can pop your washing machine so again this is just over 800 square feet so it's a good size but it is still an apartment so it's really nice that they have places like this you can conceal things that you might not want to show in the main open plan areas and then the hallway here leads on to the kitchen so let's go and have a look. Now throughout the main living spaces we have this timber engineered flooring so this runs from your entrance hall all the way to your living space but as I mentioned let's go and see the kitchen. This is such a modern and sleek kitchen now I love the handle-less design and we've got two different colour tones going on in here so a darker one up here on the cabinetry and a lighter one below which works really well together you'll also see some darker colour tones throughout the living spaces too. Now there are colour options though if you would like to customise this to suit your own taste there is a few different colours to choose from which is handy. Now also materials wise we've got composite stone work tops and then we have this beautiful marble effect splash back behind here which is a bit of a feature and it also looks gorgeous with the LED strip lights when it glows onto it and I can imagine in the evening time that looks even better. Now appliances wise we have got Siemens, an induction hob here and also the double oven so everything you need really and also the under-mounted sink just here but as usual let's see what the storage options are like because that's what we need to know. So as I said a handle-less design and behind here plenty of storage just here for your nice glasses and then in here we've got a cutlery one I believe but this is for your cutlery there's actually something really clever they've done we have this bespoke utensil rail here in a black finish which goes really well with the kitchen but how handy is that I don't actually have any utensils to put in there to show you but you can get the idea a nice feature. Okay so more storage options down here I mean we are in an apartment as I mentioned so you can sometimes expect storage to be minimal but they've definitely made the most of every space in here. Of course we also have your full height fridge and freezer here and finally we also have this wood effect shelving which not only looks very aesthetic with the LED lighting underneath it's also very practical so whether you want to display some nice glasses or a couple of cookbooks it's a great space. Now you don't have a dedicated dining room in this apartment but you do have this very handy dining table which also doubles up as almost like an island because we're right next to the kitchen and the living room is just there in front of us. Realistically this is probably where you're going to spend a lot of your time whether it's you've got your friends over for a meal or just a breakfast in the morning before you go to work. Also space for this beautiful statement lighting as well so in the evening that would look gorgeous. Just off the dining table you have this bespoke built-in alcove and the joinery is beautiful a great place to put your ornaments your books like they have here on display however you could also use this in a different way because it actually has a built-in workstation here so you can see the laptop would sit on here nicely get some work done and also there is even USB charging points in here too so very very practical. There are though a couple of more options if you wanted to turn this into a music box there's that option if you wanted to turn into a library also an option but my favourite one is you can actually turn this into a bar I think the bar would be very cool. Now into your lounge area which has been interior designed beautifully. Now we saw a few darker tones in the kitchen and that flows through into this space too with this gorgeous very soft chocolate brown sofa and actually a pretty decent size too. Now each home here comes with a sky cue box so as soon as you move in you're ready to put on your favourite tv program and this would just be a great place to sit back and relax. There's also a handy storage cupboard underneath the tv but the best part of this room is definitely the views so you get dual aspect windows in here and it actually goes all the way around to the other side so the views are pretty expansive and of course if you do want a bit more privacy you do have these blinds you can just close to. In addition to those views we also have this balcony area which is going to be the best place for your evening glass of wine and also the views are even better up here so come and have a look we'll see what we can see. When I first came out here I noticed straight away the television centre just there we also have Soho House just down there and you can even see all the way to Wembley Stadium. Right back in the entrance hallway now and the bedrooms are just through here so in here we have the main bedroom behind me another bedroom just here but before we show you those let's show you the bathroom. Now this is a very premium bathroom we have floor-to-ceiling tiling in here and it's in a marble effect so similar to what we saw in the kitchen. We also have a bit of a feature tile over here as well just around the bath there's also really great attention to detail in here you'll notice a lot of accents so even here on the towel rail we've got it on the shower controls as well it's pretty much everywhere and it just feels really cohesive in here. We also have a full whip mirror over here as well which actually has a demister in it but the best bit is this double mirrored cabinet here actually conceals a lot of handy storage so this is where you're going to keep all of your essentials and I love how we've got the led recess lighting in here too makes it a bit more of a feature and we also have a magnifying mirror as well as a shaving socket. Okay so leaving the bathroom I'm going to save the main bedroom until last so let's go and have a look at this one here. So this bedroom is a little bit smaller than the one we're going to show you next but still a pretty decent size most likely you're going to be the one you pop your guests in or if you are a family great for a child as well. There is integrated storage in this bedroom too so actually plenty of room in here we also are overlooking that south facing balcony too so you're going to get some lovely sunlight in here in the morning. Follow me to the main bedroom so as you enter you are welcomed into your own wardrobe area so again plenty of storage space we have the nice recess lighting that comes on when you open them very fancy and then follow me around to the bedroom itself so you can see we've switched to carpet now so it feels a bit more cosy again you've got great views outside in here and this feature headboard is pretty impressive now this bedroom does come with an ensuite so let's go and have a look. Now in terms of materials it's exactly the same as the last bathroom so again we have the double mirrored cabinet with plenty of handy storage options and also the double width mirror but the only real difference is this one actually features a walk-in shower which is what you really expect in your main bedroom but the great thing is if you are living here on your own you have a rainfall shower and bath. Okay so we're all finished up in this show home but there is one more to show you so you can get a better idea of the different specifications. At the heart of the development is club living 39,000 square feet of residence amenities designed to elevate everyday life that includes an indoor swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, spa rooms, gym, personal training studio, private cinema rooms, business lounge, meeting rooms, entertainment suites and even a fire pit lounge and if that's not enough there's a recently launched beach club, a mediterranean inspired private retreat exclusively for residents of Westmont Club and Solaris. Up here it genuinely feels like a luxury resort built into your home with a heated pool, relaxed dining terraces, an open-air sunset bar and a collection of indoor and outdoor lounges designed for all-day living. It's one of the most impressive resident-only amenity floors in London and it really does feel like a private resort above the city. Right now it's time to go and explore show home number two which is located in this red building called Cascades 2. Now it's a little bit different to the last apartment you saw as this building is very peaceful, very tranquil. There was a lot going on in the last building which is great if you like the lively atmosphere but this one is more of a retreat so let's go inside and check it out. Okay so welcome inside, now as I mentioned we are in the building Cascades 2 however this is a bit of a one-off because we're actually here to showcase the spec that you would get in Cascades 3 and 4. This apartment is a show home, it isn't for sale. First of all we have quite a similar entrance hallway here so again a pretty decent size and then just here is again your washer and dryer so very similar to the last one and then a nice console table here and then just here is another storage cupboard. Now this would be a great place as they've displayed to keep your suitcases or your coats and shoes when you come in. Now I can't wait to show you the open plan spaces and we can compare it to the last apartment that we showed you. Now this is your kitchen and I'm intrigued to see what the differences are. So similarities first, we have got the marble effect splashback still and also the composite stone worktop but what's slightly different is they've added this fluted timber effect here which looks lovely and this conceals your fridge and your freezer. Appliances wise we do have slightly different spec in here so they've gone for Miele double oven here and also Miele induction hob and we had Siemens in the last one. A beautiful kitchen let us know in the comments which one is your favourite. Now this kitchen is customisable obviously it's subject to the stage at which the construction is at but it's great to have the option to choose the colour to suit your taste. So this kitchen comes in pearl which is what it is right now and also cashmere and mocha. Now one thing that wasn't in the last apartment is this beautiful shelving here that's built in to the island. Also an island wasn't here in the last one either so you have your own breakfast bar in this section which is really nice and also some more lovely LED lighting to create that nice ambience in the evening. You'll also notice there is a dining table in this apartment here so it's nice to have both options so you can have a casual dining experience here on the island and a more formal dining experience here on the table if you've got guests coming over it's a nice feature to have. Moving on from the dining space we have your lounge area which is a slightly different layout to the last one we saw but it also comes with its own balcony. Heading out of the main living areas now let's go and have a look at the first bathroom. Now we have a similar material palette to the last showroom that we saw in here and this includes the gorgeous marble effect tiling on the bottom half. We also have the mirrored vanity cabinet here but this one is only there's only one of them this time there was a double one in the last one. Also another addition which is probably my favourite is this shelving here again in the marble effect and a great place to store your perfumes and anything nice you want on display and all in all I think I prefer this one. Now before we head out and show you the first bedroom I just noticed that we also have a storage cupboard here so similar layout to the last one but they've just put it in a different place so you still do have that extra storage which is very handy but let's go and check out bedroom number one. As you enter this bedroom you have some very nice storage for your clothes here actually a pretty good size as well and the LED lighting comes on as you open it. Now let's explore the actual bedroom as you'd expect in here you have a double bed but what makes this room very special is the views that you get so very different to the last apartment which was looking over the London skyline this one you're surrounded by water so looking out here you're just looking at beautiful water features so very peaceful and relaxing and a great thing to wake up to. Leaving bedroom number one let's go and have a look in the main bedroom. Entering this room again you have some storage just here as you walk in and on my right here is the ensuite but we'll show you that in a moment. Let's head on into the actual bedroom which you can immediately feel is slightly bigger than the last one they make it quite obvious as well that it's the main bedroom with these very nice feature headboards and again the view in here is just incredible very tranquil and a very relaxing place to be in the evening. There's even space in here for a dressing table and of course you get those beautiful views out into the water. Now this is another beautiful bathroom and they are all customisable too so you have two different colour options the last one we showed you was in Kashmir and this one is the Mokka so a slightly different colour palette with some darker tones down here but we also have a lovely rainfall shower in this one too as well as the same vanity unit that we saw in the previous one. Right so that brings us to the end of today's tour I hope you have enjoyed getting to see inside two different show homes and make sure you let us know which one was your favourite in the comments below and if you do want any more information on either of the show homes it will all be in the description box below. We'll see you in the next one. Hello New Build Show I'm Millie and today we are exploring Stonewood's latest development the Old Timber Yard here in Wiltshire.
