Get in line for Kew

Anyone familiar with London will associate the area of Kew where this attractive property is located with the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Built in 1631, the gardens comprise more than 300 acres of rolling greens, flora of fauna that have become synonymous with this part of West London.

The gardens cover half the area of Kew and an estimated one million people visit every year making it one of London's premier attractions, and, unsurprisingly one of the most sought-after areas of the capital.

Kew remains an exceptionally attractive residential area. It is scattered with pretty period properties that span from the Queen Anne and Georgian periods to Victorian and Edwardian.

There are also modern buildings that blend well with older architecture.

Fine homes, boutiques, pubs and restaurants give the area a tranquil village-like atmosphere.

A combination of the area's good schools and large homes draws families, while the boutiques, restaurants and bars attract young professionals.

But its idyllic location is perhaps its major draw: on one side it is flanked by the botanic gardens and on the other, by a dramatic bend in the River Thames.

To the south lie Richmond Park and the Old Deer Park, making it one of the greenest spaces in London.

This riverside apartment complex is appropriately named. Eden is a recently-completed development built by an award-winning developer.

The development is split into two buildings the Terrano and Acqua, both of which offer luxury fixtures and fittings as well as access to on-site leisure facilities.

There are a range of spacious apartments on offer. Large three bedroom apartments that range from a total of 1653 to a generous 1404 sq ft, as well as two bedroom apartments that range from 1022 sq ft to 1136 sq ft.

These are well proportioned and laid out, offering pretty views of the River Thames.

There is also secure underground parking, and the property is within walking distance of the underground.

Central London is less than a half-hour tube journey away, and the area is well-served by the south-circular motorway. Usefully, it also just 20 minutes drive to Heathrow airport.

The properties are unfurnished, but the developers offer a complete furniture solution that includes shopping, delivery, assembly and installation of furniture, white goods and soft furnishings.

The service is particularly useful for investors who live abroad, and for those who would like to rent the property out straight away.

Each property is assessed by a team of interior designers who cater for the specific needs of individual developments, with each furniture pack tailored to the needs of the buyer.

High-quality furniture is available with a five-year manufacturing guarantee.

Because the developer buys furnishings wholesale there is the opportunity to buy them at contract prices. A two-bedroom apartment costs £9000 (BD 7100) to furnish and 3 bedroom apartment costs BD 8680.

Properties can be bought to live or as a buy-to-let. If you choose to rent an apartment, the developer will find a tenant and manage the property.

They guarantee a rental income of 7.5 per cent p.a. of the purchase price for the first two years of ownership, paid monthly into your account to cover your mortgage outgoings, or as an income if you buy the property outright.

A letting and management fee of 10 per cent of the guaranteed rental income is charged.

Combined with one of the most attractive locations in London, this property is particularly appealing.
