A collection of five new buildings are dotted across the leafy Sylvan Hill community in Upper Norwood, just a short stroll from the shops and cafés of Crystal Palace. The scheme includes 57 apartments, 19 of which are available through shared ownership, the others with Help to Buy. The homes are perfect for first time buyers and anyone who longs for a green outlook and a sense of space, with an easy commute into Central London. 03

3 The buildings Green Friendly Clad in a high quality brick, with a soft, organic colour palette, the five blocks have been designed to sit quietly among the existing homes and natural surroundings. Each new building is of modest proportions, with fewer than 20 or so homes per block, so there s an intimate and friendly feel, and the sloped setting offers great views. The meandering paths, trees and greenery make this community feel really peaceful and close to nature. Artist s impression of the block on Auckland Rise
