Living on a greener street or having views of blue spaces from your home will help you sleep for longer. According to new research across 18 countries, led by the University of Exeter’s European Centre for Environment and Human Health, living on greener streets – those with visible grass, trees, and vegetation – is linked to better sleep. Offering green and blue space to buyers looking for a relaxing urban environment, Hepworth Place by Countryside Homes offers stylish new apartments uniquely situated within a six-acre landscaped parkland setting adjacent to Walthamstow Town Hall, a landmark Grade II listed art deco building featuring a state-or-the-art water feature.
As the second phase of the ambitious Fellowship Square programme led by Waltham Forest Council, Hepworth Place offers a stunning collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments, including three bedroom duplex apartments set within Chestnuts Field in Walthamstow, East London.
Designed to create tranquil public spaces for calm and reflection, the newly planted landscaped grounds include over 200 trees, including 60 trees located within Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Gardens and Sensory Gardens, which includes a sculpture by Henry Moore called The Arch. Children’s play facilities and an all-weather pathway around the perimeter have been added to the facilities, while a sustainable urban drainage wetland system has improved the biodiversity and provided ecological benefits to the local wildlife.
Situated around the iconic copper clock tower of the Town Hall, this vibrant development offers an unparalleled living experience in the heart of Walthamstow. Residents can enjoy the work and relaxation spaces within the town hall and socialise in the adjacent café. There is also a new crèche with a capacity for up to 75 pre-school children, ensuring convenience for young families.
