Staying Close to the Place They Love

When couple Daniel and An began their search to buy their first home together, they had one priority: staying in the area they loved. For the past two years they’ve lived in a rental property in Kew – a picturesque riverside neighbourhood in London with a strong community feel – and they were determined not to move too far away. 

“Kew Bridge Rise ticked all the boxes, promising to enhance the lifestyle we’ve enjoyed in this neighbourhood. The craftsmanship and quality of the build were clear when we visited the show home, and seeing the view from our 15th-floor apartment confirmed this was the perfect home for us. We’re excited for a fresh start in a spacious apartment with stunning river and city views and can’t wait to see how it elevates our London lifestyle.”

Views That Steal the Show

An adds: “The views from our new home are just incredible – you can see onto the River Thames and over Kew Gardens from one angle, and on the other side, you can see the spectacular London skyline. Buying a new home here has allowed us to strike the ideal balance of feeling a part of the excitement of the city, while also enjoying the peace of this lovely, almost hidden, sanctuary.”

Everything You Need, Right on Your Doorstep

What’s more, Daniel and An are excited to enjoy Kew Bridge Rise’s many exclusive features, as the development prides itself on having everything residents would need in one place. Daniel comments: “It’s great to have the on-site facilities available, which makes living here even more convenient. The concierge and the gym are excellent features, and as An and I both work in hybrid roles, the co-working space is fantastic to have nearby to our apartment.” Alongside this, the development also comprises two podium-level courtyard gardens, an idyllic element exclusively for residents to relax in and socialise with neighbours.

A Contemporary Community Above the City

Kew Bridge Rise, located in the up-and-coming area of Brentford, is a modern collection of stylish apartments, hidden away above the city. With five distinct and characterful apartment buildings, impressive residents-only facilities and private outdoor spaces to all homes, it presents an opportunity to join a contemporary, design-led and energised community. Surrounded by beautiful green spaces, Kew Bridge Rise provides simple access to the city, and with the bustling towns of Chiswick and Richmond nearby, there are a variety of shops, eateries and plenty of riverside charm to be found on the doorstep.

Exceptionally Well Connected

Daniel and An also appreciate the exceptional connectivity of Kew Bridge Rise and its surrounding area. The development is just a two-minute walk from Kew Bridge station and a 10-minute walk from Gunnersbury station, which is on the District Line. An explains: “Although we both work from home frequently, Kew Bridge Rise is perfectly located for our commutes. I work in Hammersmith, so I often walk to work when the weather is nice. Daniel’s office is also conveniently located on the District Line at Mansion House, making the location incredibly practical for both of us.”

Looking Forward to Riverside Life

Set to move into their new home this spring, Daniel and An are eagerly anticipating all the joys of riverside living. Daniel shares: “We love going out for breakfast, and this part of London is brimming with amazing brunch spots to explore. On weekends, you’ll often find us enjoying the local green spaces with a long riverside walk or a visit to Kew Gardens, where we have a membership. This area has so much to offer, and we can’t wait to discover even more from our new home at Kew Bridge Rise. It truly is the perfect location for us.”

“For me, I just love being near Kew Village. It has so much to see, and I like to visit the market on the first Sunday of every month. The high street has so many unique shops, and I love finding special, one-of-a-kind pieces for our new home here.”
