Prospective buyers will soon be able to purchase a home at the heart of Berkeley's sought-after development Kidbrooke Village in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, one of London's most popular locations. The newest launch at Kidbrooke Village is Waterlily Court, located in the Nature Collection neighbourhood on the edge of the development's South Cator Park which has been transformed into a haven for wildlife and people alike in partnership with the London Wildlife Trust.
Waterlily Court's spacious, high-specification homes are ideally positioned between the 136 acres of parkland and The Village Centre, home to a wealth of retail and leisure facilities including supermarkets, restaurants and community spaces. There is a range of one, two, three-bedroom apartments, and a limited number of three-bedroom townhouses, available, all of which offer a strong investment opportunity. Savills and Knight Frank both predict that house prices in London will grow by 14% by 2024, the equivalent capital appreciation of £70,000 on a £500,000 apartment in Waterlily Court. Estimated rental yields currently stand between 3.53% - 4.45%.
Overlooking South Cator Park, the interiors of these homes are designed to echo the waterways and open space on the doorstep which can be viewed from generously sized balconies or through full height windows. Individually designed layouts ensure light-filled spaces which are adorned with high quality fixtures and finishes like Bosch appliances and brushed stainless steel door handles. The interiors are designed by Atellior and inspired by the heritage of Kidbrooke Village, mirroring its industrial history and the green landscape that distinguishes it today with a choice of two colour schemes – nature and urban. The nature palette is characterised by warm wood tones, while the urban palette is cooler and emphasised by matt black details contrasted with alpine white kitchens.
Waterlily Court also boasts an exclusive, residents only podium garden where cherry trees, silver birches and ornamental grasses all help to create a sense of calm and closeness to nature.
At a time when access to green space has never been more important, buying a home in Waterlily Court is a great option for those looking to prioritise wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Existing residents in the wider development have set up groups for running, yoga and tai chi, while the open space in Kidbrooke Village's various parks also offers the opportunity to cycle and play sports in the multi-use games area. Residents will also have access to a first class, private-use gym alongside a 24-hour concierge, all included within the service charge. For those looking to explore the wider local area, specially created green routes run through and from Kidbrooke Village, while Blackheath is just a short walk away.
Waterlily Court is ideally located only moments away from the forthcoming Kidbrooke train station, allowing residents easy routes into the city. London Bridge is accessible in only 17 minutes, Canary Wharf in 20 minutes and Victoria in 26 minutes. It is well served by local bus routes which offer quick and easy access to Greenwich, South East London and the O2.
Lyndon Nunn, sales and marketing director at Berkeley, said: “The launch of Waterlily Court represents a brilliant opportunity to invest in a home that is located in a well-established community and set within green surroundings, without having to compromise on connectivity to central London. It ticks all the boxes – everything is within easy reach, from the on-site train station and Sainsbury's Local in the nearby Village Centre, to ample outdoor space for exercise and socialising.”

About Berkeley at Kidbrooke Village
The Berkeley Group build homes and neighbourhoods. We focus on creating beautiful, successful places in London and the South of England. We work together with other people to tackle the shortage of good quality homes, and make a lasting contribution to the landscape and to the communities we help create.
Berkeley (East Thames) is a division of Berkeley Group. Berkeley (East Thames) is focused on creating strong communities with a great quality of life and is delivering around 11,500 homes in the Royal Borough of Greenwich at three key regeneration sites.
Located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Kidbrooke Village is one of London's most significant new neighbourhoods. £1 billion is being invested to create a place which has beautiful homes and a vibrant community; this regeneration is the result of a partnership with the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the Greater London Authority.
The homes at Kidbrooke Village are set among 136 acres of parkland and open space featuring meadows and wetlands rich in plant and wildlife. Berkeley has brought on board the London Wildlife Trust, experts in biodiversity, to help deliver this vision for the parks.
The regeneration has created over 15,030 new jobs including 86 apprentices working in partnership with GLLaB (Greenwich Local Labour and Business).
