TRANSCRIPT
The ancient Anglo-Saxon name for Sidcup translates as The Fold, which describes the picturesque
undulating landscape for which Kent is renowned. This history inspired
the name and design for the project.
Artistic style:brilliantly conceivedbeautifully executedWith its contemporary artistic exterior, curved elevations, metallic finishes, expanses of glazing and bright spacious interiors, The Fold introduces an exciting new concept in city living architecture and style to Sidcup.
The Fold is an extraordinary landmark building whose Avant Garde modern architecture echoes artistic buildings found in cities such as Barcelona, London and Miami.
The Fold offers 69 private sale apartments comprising studio, one and two bedroom apartments with parking and rooftop gardens.
The Fold is an address to be truly coveted. The curved sculptural façade is nine storeys at its apex containing chic studios and cool one and two bedroom luxury apartments.
City style is not limited to architecture. The transport connection to central London is fast and effortless. Adjacent to The Fold is Sidcup Railway Station, providing a direct rail link into central London, with journeys of half an hour or less into Charing Cross, London Bridge and Waterloo.
Close to The Fold you have a range of restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets within walking distance. Sidcup High Street is a couple of minutes away - and glorious Kent countryside on your doorstep.
So if you combine Kent with the very best in city style and easy access into central London, then The Fold is your kind of place, taste and perfect home.

You’re also close to a great public leisure centre (plus several private health clubs), as well as supermarkets and retail parks.
You will be amazed at the number of parks, green open spaces (including Scadbury Park Nature Reserve), golf courses and several good colleges in your immediate vicinity, with a major watersports centre at nearby Danson Park. Better still, you’re only a couple of miles from the M25 London orbital motorway, bringing the whole of southern England within your grasp, including Gatwick and Stansted airports.

From there, you can roll home via the hills of The Weald, through Royal Tunbridge Wells and the lovely Kent countryside, deservedly known asthe ‘Garden of England’.
