Design-led family homes available in Erith, South East London 

The first homes within The Serene Collection have launched at The Quarry, Erith, with the three- and four bedroom houses positioned in a secluded part of the award-winning development. 

The latest release forms part of the wider masterplan for The Quarry, delivered by a joint venture between L&Q and Anderson, bringing 849 new homes alongside green spaces and community facilities to the South East London destination. 

So called due to its tucked-away location, a key feature of The Serene Collection is a brand-new interior specification, consisting of two distinctive colour palettes. The ‘Light’ palette creates a calm, uplifting feel through soft tones and a bright, contemporary finish that enhances natural light and emphasises the sense of space throughout the homes. In contrast, the ‘Wood’ palette offers a warmer feel, with richer finishes and natural textures that add depth, character and a sense of understated luxury. 

Both palettes take direct inspiration from The Quarry’s carefully considered landscaping, with several homes overlooking the planned ecology area. This dedicated ecology space retains existing grassland and shrub habitats, helping to protect local wildlife including slow worms, common lizards and other reptile species. 

Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q, says: “The Serene Collection has been carefully designed for buyers seeking a peaceful setting without leaving the capital. Set alongside the ecology area and featuring a brand-new interior specification, this release brings a fresh addition to The Quarry.” 

Inside the homes, finishing touches have been carefully selected to support modern living. Each property features integrated smart technology including energy efficient systems and underfloor heating. Kitchens and bathrooms are contemporary and sleek, complete with luxury vinyl floor tiles. Main bathrooms and ensuites feature stylish matt black taps and heated towel rail, for a trendy finish. Bedrooms are fitted with carpet, and main bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. Outside, private gardens and secure storage extend living beyond the home. Each house also benefits from allocated parking, with PAYC active car charging facility or passive supply for future installation, as well as cycle storage. 

Beyond the homes, on-site amenities include the Lime Wood Primary School – a new school about to enter its third year, which also has bookable facilities such as sports pitches and the school hall, building a sense of community. There is also a Sainsbury’s Local onsite, adding further convenience. The pedestrian and cyclist-friendly streetscapes encourage residents to travel through the site instead of around it, with walkways crisscrossing the development and no through access for cars. 

Situated within the M25 and close to the River Thames, The Quarry is ideally positioned for a range of buyers. Erith town centre, which is set to benefit from a £10m investment through the Brilliant Bexley initiative, is just a short distance away, adding to the neighbourhood’s appeal. 

The development is well connected to London, with nearby Abbey Wood station offering Elizabeth line services to Canary Wharf in just 11 minutes and Liverpool Street in 17 minutes. Erith station, within walking distance from The Quarry, provides regular services to London Bridge in 33 minutes. 

Pricing for The Serene Collection at The Quarry starts from £550,000 for a three bedroom house and £632,500 for a four bedroom house.
