Apartments and family homes alongside England's most historic sporting village, good access to the heart of London and one of Europe's largest regeneration projects are being offered to Hong Kong buyers.

Blackheath Quarter, the second phase of the Kidbrooke Village redevelopment, in southeast London, is just over half-a-kilometre from Blackheath Village, home to the oldest rugby club in England and one of the first golf associations formed outside Scotland. The Royal Blackheath Golf Club, based in nearby Eltham, dates back to 1766.

Blackheath Quarter offers three- to four-storey family homes and apartments with a choice of one, two or three bedrooms overlooking the first section of the new Cator Park to the east.

Landscaping is a key feature of Blackheath Quarter, with broad, tree-lined avenues marking the routes through the residential areas and connections to the community facilities, differentiating the private from the public realm.

'Green fingers' reach from the main park between the buildings to offer views from raised points from the apartments across the park and ponds. In addition, the apartment buildings have their own landscaped courtyards.

One of the Kidbrooke Village schools will also be in the neighbourhood with the moving of the well-regarded Wingfield Primary School to a new building within Blackheath Quarter.

The borough of Greenwich lies to the north and Lewisham to the west, with the historic Cator Estate to the east of Blackheath. Berkeley Homes' Kidbrooke Village development is designed to be at the heart of a vibrant community and part of a ? billion (HK$12.55 billion) regeneration project featuring parks, sports facilities, shops, bars, restaurants, schools, health care and community facilities.
