Eden Grove is exceptionally well located, surrounded by the most expensive commuter real estate outside of London, with a vibrant economy and within easy access of London.

The area was also recently ranked No.1 for start-ups and features in the top 10% of all UK destinations for long-term growth potential.

Eden Grove boasts superb transport connectivity. The development is a five minute walk from the train station, with Knightsbridge, Bond Street and the West End less than an hour away by train.

Residents are a short 10 minute drive to London Heathrow Airport and a short drive from Royal Holloway University and Eton College.

Paul Vallone, Executive Chairman St Edward, It is a rarity to find a premium newly built residential opportunity not only just a short walk from the River Thames and in close proximity to the English countryside but also benefiting from exceptional transport links to Central London and Heathrow Airport. Eden Grove presents a unique and exceptional opportunity in one of the most prestigious and historic catchments in the UK. We are proud to be offering a new approach to living in Staines-Upon-Thames, one of Surrey’s ‘hidden gems’.”

Nick Whitten – UK Head of Residential JLL Research ‘’We expect history to repeat itself with Greater London and South East locations performing the strongest as we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, just as they did coming out of the Global Financial Crisis. Once the dust settles house prices and rents will begin to grow again from as soon as 2021 in locations with strong demand fundamentals such as Staines-upon-Thames.’’

Andrew Hawkins, Head of International Residential Sales & Marketing at Savills We are thrilled to bring the first phase of Eden Grove in Staines-upon-Thames to the market. A regeneration scheme located only 35 minutes by train to London Waterloo and surrounded by some of the most expensive commuter real estate in Surrey outside of London. Along with its outstanding residents facilities and communal gardens, Eden Grove will attract interest from around the globe to investors who see the investment opportunity of not only the booming economy of Staines-Upon-Thames; recently ranked no1 for start-ups, headquarter to global brands yet its proximity to first class educational offerings of Royal Holloway University and Eton College.”

Developer:

Founded in 1976, Berkeley is one of the UK's best known developers of new homes. The vision has been the same since the beginning: to be a dynamic and innovative company with a passionate commitment to provide superbly designed and built homes in excellent locations in London and the South East of England. 'Berkeley' has undoubtedly become a byword for excellence.

Berkeley's first homes were typically large executive style properties, but today the Berkeley portfolio reflects the aspirations of a much broader range of home buyers, encompassing medium to large-scale developments in towns, cities and the countryside, mixed use schemes, riverside apartments, refurbished historic buildings and urban loft spaces. The company has also gained considerable experience in creating sustainable communities within complex regeneration schemes and today all building takes place on brownfield sites.

In 2015, Berkeley further consolidated its commitment to exemplary customer service by becoming the first homebuilder to receive a ServiceMark accreditation from the Institute of Customer Service. Berkeley’s Health & Safety record is also to be commended: its performance this year is the strongest ever, even though staff numbers are at an all-time high.

The Berkeley Group is made up of five main autonomous companies: St George, St James, Berkeley, St Edward and St William.
