Kingsbrook Park

Kingsbrook Park, Canterbury: Established Riverside Living

Development Overview

Kingsbrook Park, located in Canterbury, Kent (CT2 7PH), is a highly sought-after, completed residential development by the Berkeley Group, which officially finished construction in the early 2010s. The development comprises a total of 268 mixed residential units, including 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, alongside 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses. Buyers are currently entering an established, professionally managed community through the resale market, offering an opportunity to secure a home in a location originally developed to a high specification by Berkeley Homes. The Berkeley Group has a strong UK reputation, having been ranked highly for build quality by independent review platforms. The company is recognised for its focus on brownfield regeneration and commitment to creating lasting communities. The Kingsbrook Park site itself is set within 11 acres of landscaped grounds and is bordered on three sides by the River Stour.

Property Details and Pricing

The properties at Kingsbrook Park feature a contemporary design focused on open-plan living spaces. Resale units typically maintain high-quality internal specifications, which originally included kitchens with integrated appliances such as a Bosch oven and hob. Apartment types, such as the River View collection, often feature private balconies with views towards the River Stour or Canterbury Cathedral. Bathrooms and en-suites were fitted with stylish sanitaryware from brands like Villeroy and Boch, and feature full-height ceramic tiling and heated chrome towel rails.

As the original new-build stock is sold out, current availability is strictly limited to resales on the open market. Recent listing data for two-bedroom apartments within the prestigious development, specifically on Westwood Drive, indicate guide prices in the range of £270,000 to £290,000.

Location and Transport Links

The development’s location offers immediate access to Canterbury’s amenities. The historic city centre is within close walking distance. Retail options include high-street brands at the Whitefriars Shopping Centre (anchored by Fenwick) and the independent boutiques, galleries, and specialist food and drink venues in the King's Mile and Cathedral Quarter. A dedicated 2.5-acre parkland, communal ecological zones, and an enhanced public riverside walk are integrated features of the Kingsbrook Park site.

Connectivity is a major benefit, with the development providing easy access to the A2 for motorists, which connects to the M2 and M25 motorways. Canterbury West railway station facilitates high-speed services to London St Pancras International, with the fastest trains completing the journey in approximately 53 minutes. Local bus services from the nearby city centre, operated by Stagecoach, provide extensive links to surrounding areas including Whitstable (Routes 400/401) and the Westwood Cross Shopping Centre (Routes 8/8A). Local schools include The Canterbury Academy (Primary and Secondary) and The Archbishop's School (Secondary).
