Sheepcote Road

: Harrow

Sheepcote Road, Harrow, delivers 149 high-quality, 100% affordable homes on a constrained brownfield site in one of London’s most challenging housing markets. Located within walking distance of Harrow-on-the-Hill station, the development provides a carefully balanced tenure mix of discounted market sale and discounted rental homes, meeting the needs of lower to middle-income households.

Homes for sale are delivered through Pocket Living’s model, offering first-time buyers 100% ownership at a minimum 20% discount to local market values, with prices starting from £262,000. This provides a genuinely accessible route into home ownership without shared equity. Complementing this, rental homes are offered at approximately 20% below open market rents, supporting those priced out of the private rented sector. The scheme has attracted residents with an average household income of £43,000, with over 40% moving from living with family or friends into independent homes. Designed by Threefold Architects, the development prioritises quality of life. Compact one-bedroom homes maximise daylight, storage and usability, while shared amenities, including co-working space, landscaped roof terraces and communal gardens, support wellbeing and community. Delivered on a complex site requiring remediation and infrastructure relocation, Sheepcote Road demonstrates how innovative design and collaborative delivery can unlock challenging urban sites. The scheme sets a benchmark for affordable housing, proving that well-designed, sustainable homes can be delivered at price points that meet real local need while enhancing residents’ lives.
