Kew village

Kew is in many ways a quintessential English village where life revolves around the cluster of shops on Royal Parade and the village green.

The village still has a selection of independent food stores and coffee shops plus renowned destination restaurants.

Visitors come to Kew from around the world to visit the Royal Botanic Gardens or the National Archive, but many stay to enjoy some time in village life.

For residents, Kew offers a rare combination of living in a village but within easy reach of central London and major transport hubs. Kew station is on the District Line and is just one stop from the National Rail hub at Richmond. Young families can benefit from a choice of six highly regarded primary schools.

History

The buildings and grounds you can see today were those planned and developed in the 1930’s on the site of Gloucester House. This was a royal residence built in the 18th century by the Duke of Gloucester, the brother of George III. Read more of the history of Gloucester Court here.

Dintgrade

The Stern empire, that built Gloucester Court, went into bankruptcy in 1974 and a group of pioneering residents set up an association to buy the whole freehold property.

Today the Estate maintains the principles set up then: each flat has an equal share of ownership in Dintgrade and the company is led by a Board of Directors elected from those shareholders. There is an Estate Office and workshop by the main gates and the buildings and grounds are maintained by a professional team.

Residents appreciate living as part of a friendly community, where the estate is run by the owners for the benefit of the owners and residents. Read more about Dintgrade here.
