Arranged across two blocks and set around a central courtyard, the scheme has been carefully planned to balance privacy, community and convenience in a prominent town-centre location. The residential mix includes ten 1-bedroom apartments, one 2-bedroom home and four 3-bedroom residences, all designed to maximise light, space and functionality.

Every home will benefit from private amenity space in the form of a garden or a balcony. All residents will also enjoy access to a generous shared roof terrace on the third floor, offering a valuable communal retreat above the bustle of the high street. The development will include accessible car parking, a secure internal cycle store for up to 24 bicycles, and additional external short-stay cycle parking. Lumina Court is designed to integrate seamlessly into Orpington’s evolving high street with a stunning range of high-quality homes set in the heart of this vibrant London outpost.
The Area
A well-established town in its own right, it also retains the feeling and connection of London, offering some of the fastest rail connections into the capital. This blend of suburban breathing space and urban accessibility has made Orpington increasingly attractive to young professionals and families seeking value, space and quality of life without compromising on connectivity. The High Street itself reflects this evolution. Alongside post-war architecture sit newer developments, national retailers and independent businesses, creating a lively, well-rounded town centre. With strong local infrastructure, reputable schools and extensive green space nearby, Orpington continues to grow as a desirable base for modern London living.
