For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of London, Bellway has just launched its brand new development in Greenhithe, Kent. St Clements Lakes is idyllic green oasis within the busy Kentish suburb, but still affords great connections and local amenities for residents. With two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom homes, the development appeals to a wide range of buyer types, including first time buyers and families looking for a peaceful place to live.

The development, located off London Road just moments from Bluewater Shopping Centre, enjoyed a successful opening weekend on the 6th June. Over 500 visitors turned out to the invite-only launch event, and 100% of the properties launched at the first release have already been reserved.

Speaking of the successful launch, Sales Director for Bellway Homes Thames Gateway, Peter Knights, comments: “St Clements Lakes is one of our most highly anticipated schemes, with over 3,700 people registered before we’d even launched. We’re thrilled to have such a wealth of property choices for potential purchasers to choose from, and the response on the launch weekend was really encouraging. The environment is unparalleled, with such beautiful greenery and lakes incorporated into the development, so the homes are ideal for those looking for a quiet retreat from the hectic pace of modern life that surrounds St Clements Lakes.”

St Clements Lakes is a stunning development, situated in a tranquil lakeside setting amongst beautiful landscaped grounds. The new community will enjoy play areas, lush lakeside lawns and a central square. Grass, shrubs and mature trees surround the site, with pathways and cycleways running through St Clements Lakes.

All properties enjoy a top specification, with contemporary style kitchen units and integrated stainless steel appliances, modern white Roca sanitaryware to bathrooms and en suites with chrome heated towel rail and master bedrooms offering fitted wardrobes with sliding mirror doors. Apartments also benefit from secure communal cycle storage.
