ELLIE O’DONNELL reports on a new development in Hackney, designed for those who want to retire to a modern home in the capital
Quadra, a collection of one-and-two-bedroom apartments is the result of a collaboration between Hanover Housing Association and award-winning house builder Hill.
Situated next to the scenic London Fields the development of 29 homes offers features to make living easy and future proof. They include:
- Wide corridors, doorways and large turning circles in each room for wheelchair access
- Baths and sinks positioned slightly lower than a normal development
- Ceilings above the beds are reinforced and have cabling in place for electric hoists
- An on-site manager five days a week
Quadra is within a lively area of East London close to the Hackney Empire Theatre, London Fields Lido and Broadway Market. Hackney is one of inner London’s greener boroughs offering picturesque walks within the bustle of the city.
The development is also close to good transport connections. London Fields Overground Station (Zone 2) is only a six-minute walk away, Hackney Central is nearby and there is also an extensive bus network. 
All apartments are sold with a 999 year lease with an annual ground rent of £350 per annum. This will increase every 10 years in line with the retail price index (RPI).
Service charges start from £1,747 a year and there is also a sinking fund in place to help minimise the cost of future repair works.
Prices start from £625,000. Visit quadra.hill.co.uk for more information.
