The lease for the land starts from March 1995, i.e. Leasehold landed property isnвЂ™t for everyone, as it usually suits buyers who are comfortable purchasing property as own-stay homes (and not investment assets), so letвЂ™s get the important details out of the way first. Note: the Burgundy area encompasses these 3 streets- Burgundy Rise, Burgundy Crescent, and Burgundy Drive- and is about a 10-minute drive to the Jurong CBD area.

At least half of the houses are North-South facing (well, Northwest-Southeast facing, if weвЂ™re being super technical here, but the orientation is more North than West, as you can see from the map below.).

The rooms on the top floor also have beautifully lofty ceilings, with a vaulted effect- some go up to 5m! (Attic rooms are notoriously hot.).

If youвЂ™re of the вЂњmaximise every inch of spaceвЂќ camp, some houses have had the mezzanine area filled to create another room, so thereвЂ™s something for everyone here.

I actually visited one once which was hotter (inside the house) than it was outside under the blazing afternoon sun (due to the lack of airflow!)) (Non-detached landed houses, particularly terrace houses, are infamous for being hot and stuffy. Before you scoff at this being a waste of space, IвЂ™d like to point out that a double-height living room (and surrounding greenery) not only looks good, but also helps keep a house cool and aids ventilation, which is super important in a hot and muggy country like Singapore.

The living room is double volume with a nice, high ceiling.

The plot is bordered by greenery on 2 sides, so some of the houses have unblocked, lush and verdant views towards the back which, if youвЂ™ve been hunting for a landed property, youвЂ™ll know is super rare in Singapore.

Although the properties here are 99-year leasehold in nature, they caught my attention for the following reasons: The Burgundy Hill area is home to 166 3-storey semi-detached houses built in 1999, and it was done up in the Victorian style, by CapitaLand.
