Treat your tastebuds on Chiswick High Road

Most of the action centres on Chiswick High Road, a conga-line of cafés, boutiques and eateries. In fact, Chiswick really earns its stripes when it comes to gastronomy. With Italian delicatessens, posh gastropubs and stylish coffee houses all getting in on the act. The village’s piece de resistance, though, is La Trompette, an elegant European bistro that’s bagged a Michelin star for inventive dishes such as honey-glazed duck and pumpkin and grapefruit sorbet.

Chiswick’s properties and residents are a varied bunch. Families queue up for the spacious Georgian and Edwardian houses, sought-after schools and plentiful parkland, such as lovely Turnham Green, which leads off the main road. Young professionals love it here, too, thanks to its proximity to Central London and luxe riverfront apartments.

Those who want to be near to the hustle and bustle should check out 500 Chiswick High Road, a sleek development from Redrow Homes. These apartments, penthouses and townhouses put you right in the heart of W4. A great choice if you are looking to buy or rent in Chiswick.

Also close by is Berkeley’s Chiswick Gate – a beautifully-done collection of apartments and townhouses, inspired by the architecture of neighbouring Chiswick House and Gardens. Also, rated as one of the best places to live in Chiswick.

In the middle of the development is one of its most redeeming features: landscaped private gardens designed by Macfarlane + Associates. These formal orchard gardens provide a pleasing focal point along with that all-important outdoor space with a play area for kids to enjoy.” – HomeViews Property Pro on Chiswick Gate

some negatives but I love to live here

This is a nice, new built property with lots of things which uncomman in the UK houses such as a reception and a garage. But noisy and smelly corridors sometimes. Other than that we love to live here.

Please review your development:

Windows are quite big and there is no humid problem. I don’t like the glass shower door, it is always leaking. I hate you can not reach the shoes when you open the main entrance. But the kitchen is very nice with lots of storage units. and all the kitchen equipments are new and very high end quality.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had knew gym wants a payment or you need to hire a PA.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I am not very. happy with them. They always response late.

Okay, not perfect

Review Date Apr 2022

Chiswick is a delightful west London suburb with plenty of boutique shops, cafes, and amenities. We are very well connected with the overground, district, and Piccadilly lines

Please review your development:

Overall the development is great however we do have significant issues with the lifts, as well as the main building doors not closing properly which has lead to a number of parcel thefts. The build quality isn’t great and a number of snagging issues arose however I’m very happy to have my first home.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known that pocket were going push back so hard on every issue raised during warranty. A lot of similar issues were seen by all residents and the after care was not great at all.

What is the best feature of your home:

The two shared roof terraces are lovely, hell with the communal feel, and provided a much needed outdoor area during lockdown.

Modern build, amazing location

Multiple supermarkets within walking distance, multitude of transport links with an array of local amenities and luxuries nearby.

Please review your development:

The location is incredible. Chiswick High Road is within arms reach whilst both District & Piccadilly lines are both just minutes away from the front door. The communal areas offer spectacular view and there is a great sense of community. The flats themselves are modern and bright with stunning floor to ceiling windows.

There have been relatively few issues since moving in over two years ago. Main complaints would be lack of safe parcel storage solution and overheating during the summer.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Temperatures during summer months given the tall windows and strong insulation.

What is the best feature of your home:

The clean and modern design, tall windows and great views.
