A bright one-bedroom shared ownership apartment within Kidbrooke Village, offered as a 25% share (price shown £100,000). The home is new-build, ready to move into and comes with a balcony, fitted kitchen and built-in wardrobes — compact, modern living for a first-time buyer starting on the property ladder.
Residents benefit from strong local convenience: Kidbrooke Station (Zone 3) is a short walk with 16–19 minute services to central London, plus on-site Sainsbury’s, coffee shops, doctor, dentist, pharmacy, concierge and gym. Landscaped communal gardens, a farmers’ market and a free Zipcar membership add practical everyday value and community appeal.
Important practical points: this is a shared ownership leasehold (25% share shown; full market value listed separately). Minimum income and deposit requirements apply and council tax banding is not yet confirmed. Broadband is reported very slow locally, and the wider area records higher deprivation rates — factors to weigh if you need fast home internet or wider neighbourhood affluence.
This is a straightforward option for buyers who want new-build facilities, low initial capital outlay and excellent transport links. Investors should note the shared-ownership structure may limit short-term resale flexibility; buyers seeking full ownership should budget for staircasing. Viewing the show home and checking full shared ownership terms and service charges is recommended before committing.
