City Living, Community Vibes: Discover London’s Best-Kept Secret for First Time Buyers

Hyde New Homes at Kidbrooke Village within the London Borough of Greenwich now features a stylish new range of one, two and three bedroom apartments that ticks all the boxes for first time buyers

What’s new at Kidbrooke Village

Just a 20-minute walk from Blackheath, Hyde New Homes at Kidbrooke Village is the latest collection of beautifully designed homes to launch within this popular development in SE3. As well as being in an exceptional location with a vibrant village feel, thanks to Shared Ownership, these apartments provide first time buyers with the chance to enjoy the security and stability of homeownership that often feels out of reach in the capital.
Central to Kidbrooke Village is Pegler Square, a vibrant hub offering a range of amenities including three food stores, cafes, a GP, a dentist and two nearby gyms. Residents also enjoy a monthly food market and various community events, fostering a strong sense of village living with an urban twist. It’s also ideal for commuters: London Bridge is a 16-minute train ride from the on-site Kidbrooke station, while Charing Cross is reachable in 26 minutes and London Victoria in 30 minutes.

Space and style

Mundell House is the first of the three stunning Shared Ownership apartment collections to be launched by Hyde at Kidbrooke Village, with spacious new homes set around a beautifully landscaped podium garden. Every apartment features full-height windows to pour light over the open-plan living space, and buyers can connect to the outside with their very own outdoor balcony or terrace. Practical details are taken care of too. Mundell House includes communal cycle storage, while select homes come with the convenience of an undercroft parking space with fob entry. For drivers, Kidbrooke Village provides convenient road links to the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels, the M25 and the Dartford Crossing.

Quality as standard

Hyde New Homes at Kidbrooke Village’s contemporary, elegant interiors exude quality. Every home has been finished in line with “the Hyde Difference” – Hyde’s commitment to a high specification as standard; including modern kitchen units and integrated appliances, fitted wardrobe to the main bedroom, bathroom tiling and quality flooring. These interior touches are installed with different finishes to suit diverse tastes, with the Lux Collection offering a lighter palette and the Umbra Collection providing a darker design.
The result is bright, appealing and energy-efficient homes that have helped Hyde achieve over 90% customer satisfaction for 12 consecutive years. Buyers have the security of 999-year leases and the option to purchase more shares and to own their home outright at any time, supported by Hyde’s experienced in-house sales team.
Quality shines through the external areas of Kidbrooke Village as well. London Wildlife Trust is closely involved in the development and maintenance of Kidbrooke Village’s bio-diverse green spaces, where over 750 trees have been planted. The development’s open leisure spaces feature species-rich grassland and a variety of wildlife habitats, including a chalk stream that runs through nearby Cator Park. Having Cator Park’s imaginatively designed playground, walkways, water features and verdant parkland within strolling distance is yet another benefit to boost mental health.

Supporting Londoners to buy

Recent analysis from Zoopla highlights that private renters saw their monthly housing costs increase by more than those of mortgaged homeowners in the three years to Q1 2025.¹ Higher rents make it harder for would-be first time buyers to save a deposit, however with Shared Ownership the deposit is calculated based on the share you’re buying, not the full market value, which may mean saving quicker and getting on the ladder earlier than buying outright.
Hyde New Homes at Kidbrooke Village will be home to 140 Shared Ownership apartments, creating an abundance of opportunities for first time buyers to step on to the property ladder.
Guide prices start from £111,000 for a 30% share of a one bedroom apartment with a full market value of £370,000.
