Brunswick Square

Development Overview

Brunswick Square is a new build apartment development by Berkeley Homes, located in Orpington, Greater London (BR6 0RT). The development is a cornerstone of the wider Orpington town centre regeneration efforts. It comprises a total of 83 contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments. The project is complete, and all new homes have been sold by the developer. The focus now is on the resale and rental market, offering opportunities to secure a property within an established, high-specification development. Historically, one and two-bedroom new build homes started from prices around £340,000, positioned below the average local property price of £475,575. Current resale properties have been listed with guide prices for a one-bedroom apartment ranging from £300,000 to £345,000, and two-bedroom apartments commanding guide prices between £375,000 and £400,000, depending on size and aspect.

Property Details

Each of the 83 new build apartments was designed for modern, low-maintenance living. The unit mix consists exclusively of one and two-bedroom layouts. A key architectural feature is the inclusion of private outdoor space for every unit, taking the form of either a balcony, a winter garden, or a terrace. The internal specification is high, featuring open-plan living areas and Leicht kitchens that are individually designed with soft-close, handleless doors. Integrated appliances include a full range of Bosch white goods. Selected two-bedroom apartments include a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, in addition to a main bathroom. Selected units also benefited from private resident parking.

Location Benefits

Brunswick Square offers a town centre location, placing residents adjacent to newly developed amenities including a landscaped public square, an Odeon cinema, a gym, a hotel, and a selection of new retail and restaurant options. The Orpington Campus of London South East Colleges, which houses the student-led BR6 Restaurant, Bakehouse and Terrace, is also situated in the town centre.

Transport connectivity is a principal benefit of the BR6 location. Orpington train station is an approximate 13-minute walk from the development. Direct train services, operated by Southeastern and Thameslink, provide fast access to Central London. The fastest service times are 18 minutes to London Bridge and 24 minutes to London Charing Cross (average 33 minutes). The area is served by extensive local bus routes, including the 51, 61, 353, and R1-R11 services.

The area is well-regarded for its educational institutions. The local area includes highly-rated secondary schools such as the selective St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School and Newstead Wood School, alongside co-educational options like Darrick Wood School and Harris Academy Orpington.
