The newest launch at Berkeley’s major Kidbrooke Village development is Waterlily Court. 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 new range of one-, two-, three-bedroom apartments, and a limited number of three-bedroom townhouses, available. Properties have generously sized balconies or full-height windows and there’s 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 podium garden and residents also have access to a private-use gym alongside a 24-hour concierge, all included within the service charge. It is ideally located only moments away from the forthcoming Kidbrooke train station, allowing residents easy routes into the city.
The estimated completion of homes here is from April to November 2024. Prices for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment start at £377,500 and range to £675,000 for a top-floor three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. Find out more about Kidbrooke Village from Berkeley.

Duplexes are particularly popular right now, combining the benefits of apartment living with the sense of separate space provided by living in a two-storey house – especially in recent time with so many people working from home and needing to separate the office from their ‘at home’ life. Notting Hill Genesis is offering two- and three-bedroom duplexes at Peckham Place.
James Munson, the developer’s head of marketing, commented: “It’s very likely that high levels of working from home will continue for much of this year and beyond, which is why space is at the top of buyers’ wish lists at the moment. Demand for homes with room for a workspace or home office set-up has surged in recent months. Our selection of two- and three-bedroom duplexes at Peckham Place provide a perfect pad for Londoners who are on the lookout for a stylish new home that can serve their practical needs and much more.”
Peckham Place
Features of the homes include separate living, working and eating spaces with large windows to maximise natural light, a private terrace or balcony (or both for the larger properties) and contemporary kitchens with Zanussi appliances. Outside, a landscaped podium courtyard garden with picnic benches and sun loungers offers residents a peaceful place to sit and relax. There’s also on-site secure cycle storage.
Prices at Peckham Place start from: £670,000 for a two-bedroom duplex and £795,000 for a three-bedroom duplex. Find out more at www.nhgsales.com.
