About Cassia
Located in Oakwood, a suburban area in the London Borough of Enfield, Cassia is a design-led collection of one- and two-bedroom apartments exclusively available with Shared Ownership. These new build homes are designed with our high specification throughout. The stylish interiors feature Amtico flooring in the living room, hallway and kitchen, wool-mix carpets in the bedrooms, and ceramic tiles on the floor and walls in the bathroom. Plus, the kitchen comes with integrated appliances.
The building is constructed with the environment and your energy bills in mind. It’s brick-clad and uses non-combustible materials for the walls. Meanwhile, roof insulation, thick walls and double-glazed windows maximise energy efficiency.
The Local Area
Oakwood is one of the capital’s hidden gems. Bordered by the leafy suburbs of Southgate and Winchmore Hill, the neighbourhood offers a haven away from the hustle and bustle of Central London. It’s an ideal area if you enjoy exercising outside and exploring the outdoors or watching wildlife, as it boasts several green spaces, including Oakwood Park, Oak Hill Park and Trent Country Park.
This Enfield suburb is well served by Chase Side, the local high street. Here, you can shop for the essentials at food, health and clothing stores or dine at one of the bustling cafes and restaurants. Further afield, more shops and amenities can be found in nearby neighbourhoods like Cockfosters and East Barnet Village.

The Benefits of Shared Ownership
Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme helping first-time buyers purchase a home when traditional routes to homeownership are out of reach. You’ll buy an initial share between 25-75% of the property’s market value and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share. There are several benefits to the scheme, including:
- You can get on the property ladder as an owner-occupier.
- The minimum deposit required is usually smaller, as the deposit amount is based on the share value rather than the full market value.
- You can buy more shares as your income rises, increasing the value you own and reducing the rent amount.
