Transcription

1 Welcome to... Situated in the historical and popular city of St Albans, Beaumont Gardens is an exclusive collection of 1 and 2 bedroom homes nestled between the M1, A1 and M25 with rail links into the capital together with superb local shopping and inner city entertainment. Built with an eye on economic and environmental sustainability this collection of contemporary homes is ideal for first time buyers, professionals or those seeking a refreshingly modern lifestyle in an excellent community. 01

2 02 03 BUY INTO A ST ALBANS LIFESTYLE St Albans lifestyle is a rich and rewarding one. From its bustling city centre of big brand stores to its markets and historical past, St Albans is a city with so much to offer. Shop in the centre of town with its café culture, stores, market stalls and supermarkets, or take time out and relax at the multiplex cinema, parks and leisure centres St Albans has it all.

3 04 LOCATION IS EVERYTHING Beaumont Gardens is ideally placed for town and the countryside. With local routes leading to the A1, M1 and the M25, and the capital easily in reach, the region has something for everyone. Central for shopping, with the city centre just 1.4 miles away, living is easy. Commuters will enjoy the rail links from St Albans City station, 1 mile away, to St Pancras and Blackfriars which can be reached in 33 minutes, while local parks, schooling, and city entertainment at the cinema, theatre, nightclubs and pubs are just a drive away. 05

4 A WEALTH OF CHOICES 06 Being close to a city centre brings with it a host of benefits including all the local amenities you could wish for. For day-to-day shopping the local Morrisons supermarket is just around the corner, whilst a short trip of 1.4 miles into the centre of town, with its mix of medieval and modern attractions, will provide an abundance of shopping experiences. When you fancy dining out you ll find family-friendly restaurants as well as nationwide names from Pizza Express to Nando s. More locally the taste of a countryside pub and home-cooked food can hit the spot, especially when it has a garden to relax in. It s notable that many pubs in the area have hand-pumped local beers, no doubt due to St Albans being the headquarters of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The city reflects life at its best, with markets and large scale shopping to retail parks, theatre and concert venues. The Maltings shopping quarter is the place to browse; from boutiques to jewellers, whilst Christopher Place Shopping Centre is a magnet for shoppers with its cafés and restaurants to enjoy during the day. An excellent choice of local schooling ranges from kindergarten such as Fleetville Infant and Nursery School which is walkable 0.3 miles away to secondary schools such as the Samuel Ryder Academy and city colleges of higher education. When it comes to the outdoors, stride out and enjoy a tranquil stroll through the local parks or head into town to Verulamium Park with its gentle lawns and duck ponds. Surrounding countryside, villages and towns are perfect for great days out all year round while attractions such as Hatfield House or Warner Brothers Studios are ideally located. Golfers too will find plenty of opportunities for great days out on the golf course, with the well kept Verulam Golf Club or Batchwood Hall Golf Club on the edges of the city. 07

5 ACCESS THE CITY DIRECTLY With some of the world s best sights, attractions and activities in reach, Beaumont Gardens is ideal for visiting the capital or commuting. Rail connections at St Albans City station provide immediate access to the city, whilst major roads and routes in and out of the area including the M1 and M25, provide direct access to North London, inner boroughs and beyond. Ideal for commuting to the capital
