This newly built three-bedroom apartment in Kidbrooke Village offers roomy, modern living across 98.6 m² (1,061 ft²) with a long balcony and open-plan kitchen/living/dining. Positioned on the seventh floor of a contemporary development, the home benefits from large windows, built-in appliances and a concierge service — practical features for busy first-time buyers or young families.
The location is a strong selling point: Kidbrooke Station (Zone 3) is on the doorstep with regular services to London Bridge (approx. 16 minutes) and Waterloo East (19 minutes). On-site amenities include Sainsbury’s, pharmacy, cafés, a doctor and dentist, plus landscaped gardens and 86 acres of nearby parkland for weekend leisure. The development also offers resident perks such as a three-year Zipcar membership and on-site fitness options.
This property is offered via Shared Ownership — the advertised price of £161,250 represents a 25% share of a £645,000 valuation. Shared Ownership lowers the initial cash required (deposit from around £16,125) but comes with leasehold arrangements and eligibility requirements (minimum household income cited). Buyers should be comfortable with shared-ownership rules and the long-term commitment involved.
Be aware of material drawbacks: the apartment has a single bathroom for three bedrooms, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and the quoted annual service charge is £5,964 (above average) which affects ongoing affordability. The development is in an area classified as deprived and with average crime statistics — weigh local context alongside transport and amenity benefits. Overall, this is a practical, ready-to-move-in modern flat that suits buyers seeking an affordable route into a well-connected part of Greenwich, provided they accept shared-ownership terms and the running costs noted above.
