Peabody has acquired 14 new homes for affordable rent from developer Chesington Investments Limited, a subsidiary of Bellworth Developments, at the prestigious Lancer Square development in the Kensington Palace conservation area, Kensington, London.
Designed by architects Squire and Partners and built by build contractor Mace, the seven one-bedroom and seven two-bedroom homes are situated in a bustling, central location, in close proximity to local amenities and within walking distance to Hyde Park.
