When new homeowners, Hosein and Grazyna Moghaddas decided to downsize from their home in Marshalswick, St Albans, they started searching for a contemporary, well-located home that met all their lifestyle needs. After months of exploring various properties and developments in St Albans, Vickers Mews emerged as the clear choice.
Vickers Mews is an outstanding new development of high-quality townhouses and apartments in the heart of St Albans. Created by Oakford Homes, these impressive new homes are within easy reach of the city centre, with excellent transport links and views over the local golf course. More than 40% have been reserved since the launch of the Show Home earlier this summer.
“We were drawn to the location immediately,” said Hosein, who had been keeping an eye on the site’s progress from the nearby golf course. “The proximity to the city centre, railway station, and amenities including pubs, cinema and the golf club as well as close to country walks, such as the Alban Way, made it ideal for us. The outlook across the golf course was a welcome bonus!”
For Hosein and Grazyna, choosing a newly built home was inspired by their desire for eco-conscious living. “We appreciate Oakford’s commitment to sustainable building practices,” Grazyna explained. “The use of eco-friendly materials, insulation, and air-source heat pumps aligns perfectly with our values.”
Their decision to choose Vickers Mews was also influenced by Oakford Homes' reputation for quality. “Friends in the building trade vouched for Oakford’s craftsmanship,” Hosein said.
“When we visited, we were impressed by the simplicity and size of the homes, which perfectly matched what we were looking for. Oakford’s choices of materials and fixtures & fittings used in the house fit well with what we would have chosen in our own home.”
The couple particularly appreciated the layout of their new townhouse which is in keeping with how they live their daily lives. “The configuration of the kitchen, dining area, and garden works better for us than other homes we saw, and the bedroom sizes were ideal,” said Hosein. “We also loved that it offered more storage, plus a garage.”
Their buying experience was just as seamless, aided by the efficient sale of their property in St Albans by Ashtons, which are also the chosen selling agents of Oakford Homes at Vickers Mews.
“The process was very smooth and unhurried. Oakford Homes handled everything professionally,” said Grazyna. “Their team was friendly and helpful, and we’d highly recommend Oakford Homes and Vickers Mews.”
In a final insight about Oakford’s considerate approach, Hosein added, “When looking at building sites, the tidiness and considerate actions of the building crews are very important. On a number of occasions when playing golf, the building crew were extremely courteous and would stop making noise while we hit our shots. It was a small gesture but their consideration really stood out to us and reflects the whole ethos of Oakford Homes.”
With its prime location, ecologically friendly features, and high-quality construction, Vickers Mews blends luxury and sustainability. The Show House, located in London Road, St Albans, AL1 1PN, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm and the current release of 3-bedroom mews townhouses are available from £955,000.
