A new place to call home
New Avenue is the best of both worlds, offering peace and quiet whilst also bringing you into a community within North London. This modern development maximises space, giving you an oasis within a busy city. Whatever your lifestyle, New Avenue is the perfect place to live with wide, spacious streets and peaceful walkways.

We understand communities are built on long-lasting relationships, that’s why at New Avenue we are building a community centre to act as a hub for residents to socialise and form those all-important bonds. Welcome to the next chapter at New Avenue, bringing to Oakwood a further selection of beautiful homes in this already established community. Phase 1 at New Avenue brought us a whole host of great stories, and is already home to those such as husband and wife Sadik and Elif Gozek. When they decided it was time to buy a home, the couple were determined to find a 3 bedroom house in the Enfield area to ensure their children could continue attending the same good-quality schools. Having spent over a year renting in Enfield, Sadik and Elif fell in love with this green neighbourhood in which they hope to raise their family. Become part of the community like Michael and Nejla. The couple looked at several developments in the Oakwood and Southgate areas, but New Avenue really impressed them. “We were lucky to have found a beautiful house with a garden at New Avenue. After years of living in a rented property, there is nothing better than moving into a brand new place, where every single thing has been taken care of, and you can avoid the headache and cost of refurbishment works.” Join the community here at New Avenue.

Green spaces are all around you in Oakwood, but you should definitely pay a visit to the Oak Hill Wood Nature Reserve.

Why buy new?
MAKE YOUR HOME YOUR OWN
Saving you money on your energy bills
Replacing a previous owner’s idea of ‘interior design’ can be a costly and time-consuming process. Move into a brand new home from Countryside on the other hand, and you have the perfect blank canvas just waiting for you to make your home your own!
NO NASTY SURPRISES
Buy a new home from Countryside and there’ll be no nasty surprises or extra maintenance costs waiting for you and you’ll have the peace of mind of a 10-year NHBC warranty and insurance policy. Buy a second-hand home, and who knows what you could be faced with?
BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
Countryside creates quality, eco-friendly and sustainable homes in the best locations. Our outstanding range of new homes is designed for modern living with lower environmental impact and running costs, and low maintenance. These provide compelling reasons to choose a new home from Countryside.
Our homes are 27% more energy efficient than the national average and 56% more energy efficient when compared to a Victorian property*. With energy costs on the rise there’s no better time to buy a home with energy saving features included. According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, owners of a new build property save up to £2,000† on household bills each year. Those that buy a new build house specifically see even greater annual savings of £600 – which is equivalent to three weeks of an average mortgage or the cost of a takeaway coffee every working day for the year! There are lots of energy saving features included:
- Double glazing - PV panels to apartment buildings - Additional roof insulation - Low energy LED lighting - Appliances with high efficiency ratings - Electric car charging points
REDUCING WATER USAGE
Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, but that doesn't mean you'll be compromising on style or functionality. These features mean our homes use 20% less water than the UK average, with clear cost savings for our homeowners ‡ . Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.
*Average Countryside SAP is 84.2 compared to the national average in England which is 66 according to the English Housing Survey. †Refers to an average for all types of new build properties. ‡ Average Countryside home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/why-we-should-all-be-saving-water/

Michael and Nejla
What our customers have to say
Michael Katasi and his partner Nejla Kayserili bought their first home with Countryside in 2019. Being a busy business manager and a London city worker it was important for the couple to have an easy to access location, with great local amenities and excellent links into London. The young couple are still delighted with their choice. “We looked within Enfield Town and Southgate aswell, but the links to London weren’t as good and there wasn’t as many things to do. Plus, the property is beautiful, we absolutely love it. We’re living in a 3-bed that’s also got a big balcony so we’ve got tons of space and our master bedroom benefits from loads of natural light, which makes it feel even more spacious. Life has definitely improved for us and we’ve been fortunate enough to start our own little family” said Michael.
Elif and Sadik
For Elif and Sadik, it wasn’t just the location that impressed them at New Avenue. This family of five have been residents of their three- bedroom home at New Avenue since 2020. The couple were over the moon when they first moved in at New Avenue, and since living there for quite some time, their fondness of the development and Oakwood as an area have grown increasingly. “Before we bought, we were going to look all over North London, but we were really swayed by the location,” said Elif. They knew they had made the right decision when they came across New Avenue. “We originally chose the house for its location. It was important for us to have a home that was close to everything we need and close to good schools. The area is also amazing for education,” Elif explained. The couple, who now have three young children and run their own business together, find that having everything close-by is just what they need with a schedule as hectic as they have. “It makes your life easy, and you can save time. Oakwood High Street is just four minutes’ drive away and there is everything you need there. There are plenty of nice restaurants and I can easily do my shopping and park there too. We also have a range of green open spaces and parks close-by. Oakwood Park is just six minutes away and we enjoy spending time there as a family,” Elif added.
“We benefit from being so close to two underground stations and that was a major factor in our decision to buy at Newgate Avenue. Oakwood and Southgate tube stations are both just a short walk away, we are in the middle. We can also get to central London easily in just 40 minutes on the Piccadilly line, which can also take us to Heathrow Airport. You can also take the bus from right outside the development as well.” The community feeling is another key selling point for New Avenue. “People are chatty and don’t really keep to themselves too much, which is nice. We have a lot of friendly neighbours - everyone that lives at New Avenue seems to be friendly,” said Elif.
New Avenue is situated just 5 minutes’ drive from Cockfosters and 10 minutes’ drive from the centre of Southgate, meaning it benefits from a whole range of local amenities.
“We would definitely recommend Enfield to someone looking to relocate. I’ve lived here for most of my life and there’s plenty to do. We’re big foodies you see, so if it’s food you’re interested in The Cock & Dragon in Barnet do a really nice roast, DESERIE also in Barnet, for delicious Greek food and we’re massive sushi fans. There’s a new restaurant that opened up recently in Cockfosters called Kiyoto… then you’ve got La Paella in Southgate for tapas - the choice is yours really!”
There are plenty of local green spaces that the couple enjoying visiting on the weekend.
Overall, the couple have been happy with their purchase at New Avenue, and the family would be happy to recommend Countryside. “We have been extremely happy with our experience. It isn’t just the home that has impressed us, but also the experience with Countryside. It was quick to move in and we have found a good level of customer service and after sales too.”
“We’ve got a few nice parks nearby. There’s Oakhill Park, Grovelands Park and Trent Park which is only 7 minutes’ drive away. Trent Park is a really nice area, we try and go to it quite a bit which is lovely, especially with the little one. They have all sorts of activities; they’ve got horse riding and even Go Ape which is fun.”
