They have balconies and wonderful views to the South, and are available with Help to Buy. The location is a short walk from Crystal Palace, and an easy commute into Central London and Croydon.

Our houses

05

Our three bedroom houses are set within a quiet and popular enclave, close to the Crystal Palace triangle.

Set amongst the existing community on Ravensdale Gardens and Rushden Close, these modern brick homes with their distinctive picture windows are a handsome addition to the area. There are two and three storey configurations, and the finishes are high quality, with timber flooring throughout the living areas. The gardens are perfect for relaxing in, while the neighbourhood offers plenty of shared green spaces.

About us The designersRavensdale & Rushden

* This scheme does not include homes at affordable rent. For affordable rent homes, please apply direct through Croydon Council.

20 21

As a council-owned developer, we want to

make homes that really add to our Borough

and stand the test of time.

We work with a collection of award winning

architects, as well as our own in-house

architectural team ‘Common Ground

Architecture’, to create homes with light,

open interiors and modern exteriors that

integrate well with their surroundings.

We always aim to create a mix of homes at

different levels of affordability, and some

of our homes are built for the council so

they can be offered to Croydon residents

at affordable rent*.

We offer Croydon residents priority on our

homes for the first two months they’re on

sale. All the profits from our open market

homes go back to the council to help make

our borough even better for all who live and

work in Croydon.
