Thornsett Group

Making History

House builder Thornsett Group is building 25 one-, two- and three bedroom apartments including duplexes and affordable units on Holden Avenue in Woodside Park, north London. The apartments are scheduled for completion in May.
Wheston lodge is the first property to be built in the grounds of Marian house, a former church and will provide five floors of accommodation in a red-brick and render building, sympathetic to neighbouring properties and 22 off-street parking spaces, within gated landscaped surroundings. Holden Avenue is an established residential street, lined with mature trees, many of which are within the site and will be retained by Thornsett Group. Bernadette Cunningham, Thornsett Group director, says: “Thornsett is pleased to be progressing this exciting development, which will have the high-specification interiors and quality finishes that are the trademark of all Thornsett projects. Wheston lodge will provide the best of two worlds — proximity to central London via excellent transport links from the tranquil neighbourhood of Woodside Park.” Agents for the scheme are Becketts and Jeremy leaf & Co. In nearby new Southgate, the iconic Princess Park Manor is the multi-award-winning flagship of
Comer homes. Now, the final phase has been released for sale, consisting of two and three-bedroom apartments, a five bedroom gatehouse with garage and private garden, as well as the three bedroom dome penthouse apartment with its 360-degree views.
