A Spotlight On: Knights Quarter
At Berkeley Group, we care about designing environments that offer residents a healthier balance between work, life, and relaxation.
A perfect example of this is our Knights Quarter development. Today, we are shining our spotlight on this unique development that successfully blends the core principles of sustainability with the essential amenities of luxury living.
Where is Knights Quarter?
Knights Quarter is located in the idyllic south east England County of Hampshire, in the beautiful city of Winchester.
The development is only half a mile from Winchester city centre and just a short walk to Winchester Railway Station where you can arrive at London Waterloo in just over an hour.
There are numerous transport links to the next closest city of Southampton, which is just 14 miles away. You can arrive at Southampton Railway Station in 16 minutes or drive to Southampton Airport in 20 minutes; direct flights can connect you to destinations across the UK, Ireland, Northern Europe, and the Mediterranean.
Winchester is also superbly situated close to England’s popular coastal towns of Bournemouth and Portsmouth.
Key Features of Knights Quarter
Knights Quarter seamlessly combines conventional British architecture with an ultra-modern façade to create a structure that complements the local area.
Knights Quarter comprises four separate buildings containing one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside state-of-the-art four and five-bedroom townhouses.
Most homes have at least one large balcony, terrace or private garden - ideal for couples, families and retirees who want to enjoy the benefits of a slower pace of life.
Sustainable Living
Sustainability is considered in every aspect of the Knights Quarter, from energy-saving light fittings in every home to the electric car charging ports in the secure underground car park. Thanks to A-rated kitchen appliances, high levels of thermal insulation and dual flush toilets, each home is designed to help you to live more sustainably.

Things to Do in Winchester
Once England’s first capital city, Winchester is widely renowned for its rich history and culture.
Winchester Cathedral is a must-visit local attraction. At 558ft in length, the cathedral boasts one of the longest Gothic naves in Europe. History lovers will also love visiting The Great Hall for a glimpse of the final remains of Winchester Castle and King Arthur’s famous Round Table.
Winchester is widely recognised as one of the best cities in England for education. Winchester College, founded in 1382, is the UK’s oldest independent boarding school for boys and remains one of the world’s most outstanding schools. Every state primary school in the city is rated good or outstanding by OFSTED, while the University of Winchester was given a silver award for its high-quality teaching.
Winchester is ideal for families; young children will love the hands-on exhibits and interactive shows at The Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium, while animal lovers will thoroughly enjoy a trip to Marwell Zoo. Going for a bike ride or ramble in the South Downs National Park is only a short distance away for fun family days out.
With an incredible array of boutique shops and delicious eateries, it is not surprising to learn Winchester has recently been crowned the happiest place to live in the UK.
