The recently opened Lime Wood Primary School has quickly become the heart of The Quarry, a growing neighbourhood in Erith, South-East London. In its first year, the school has seen an enthusiastic response from local families. With 108 pupils now enrolled, including 58 children transitioning to Year 1 and 50 new Reception students the school is set to grow year on year, eventually becoming a 3-form entry school. Its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to excellent teaching provide a nurturing environment that serves as a cornerstone for the community.

As the school enters its second successful year, The Quarry, a pioneering eco-development in Erith delivered by L&Q and Anderson, is preparing to launch a new phase of 3- and 4-bedroom family homes on 21st September 2024. The Quarry has transformed from a former working quarry into a vibrant and sustainable residential community, offering modern, high-quality homes designed for contemporary family living.

Claire Ingrams, Head Teacher of Lime Wood Primary School, says: “Lime Wood Primary School is delighted to be heading into its second year, and we look forward to expanding and embracing our vibrant and supportive community. We see our school as a cornerstone of the community’s future, and we celebrate the neighbourhood we serve through excellent teaching and an inclusive and nurturing environment for everyone, as well as our state-of-the-art onsite facilities.”

In keeping with the development’s community-focused ethos, this new phase of homes at The Quarry will meet the growing demand from families who want to be part of this unique setting.

Claire-Louise Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director at L&Q London comments: “We’re pleased to be releasing the next phase of family homes at The Quarry, nicely timed with the start of the academic year. Lime Wood Primary School is an important feature of life at The Quarry – and one that’s certainly a big draw for our buyers.”

Ian Cunnane, Operations Director at Anderson, says: “The Quarry has always been immensely popular with families, offering them a place they can flourish within striking distance of central London. Having a primary school right on their doorstep is the perfect perk for buyers, some of whom have already enrolled their children at Lime Wood Primary School.”

The homes at The Quarry have been designed to cater specifically to the needs of modern families. Each property features spacious layouts, energy-efficient systems, and access to green spaces, providing a comfortable and sustainable lifestyle. The pedestrian and cyclist-friendly streetscapes encourage residents to travel through the site instead of around it, with walkways crisscrossing the development, and no through access for cars.

Situated within the M25 and close to the River Thames, The Quarry is ideally positioned for both first-time buyers and growing families. Erith town centre, which is set to benefit from a £10m investment through the Brilliant Bexley initiative, is just a short distance away, adding to the area’s appeal.

The development is well-connected to London, with nearby Abbey Wood station offering Elizabeth line services to Canary Wharf in just 11 minutes and Liverpool Street in 17 minutes. Erith Station, within walking distance from The Quarry, provides regular services to London Bridge in 33 minutes and Cannon Street in 45 minutes.

Prices for a four-bedroom house at The Quarry start at £577,500, and three-bedroom homes start at £530,000, with Deposit Unlock available. For more information and to book your place for the launch weekend, visit lqhomes.com/thequarry.
