Excellent Amenities and a Village Feel 

Perfectly placed near Kew and Chiswick, these new-build homes in Brentford offer contemporary living with easy access to local charms and the city beyond.  

It's precisely what drew Dan and An, homeowners at Kew Bridge Rise, to the development. Dan says, "We bought here because we love the area. We love being close to the river, close to the greenery…There's quite a village-y feel, which we love.  We're so close to London; you can get on the train at Kew Bridge and in 30 minutes you're in Waterloo. Yet, you come out here and it's quiet, it's green." 

An adds, "We also love that this area specifically is very close to Chiswick, Richmond, and Brentford, such thriving communities in those areas, and being situated here, at Kew Bridge Rise, we're in such close walking distance that it really makes our lives so much more enriched."
