Barratt Homes has seen an increasing number of home buyers moving out of London in search of better value and an improved lifestyle. That Kent is their destination of choice is no surprise, as it offers a wonderful combination of rolling countryside, dramatic coastline, historic houses and thriving town centres. Barratt Kent is currently offering a wide range of properties, designed to appeal to an equally wide range of purchasers.
Spectrum, located in Tovil near Maidstone, has proved such a success that only four three- and four-bedroom town houses remain available. The houses, which feature cottage-style elevations and incorporate traditional materials, are set around a landscaped square off Farley Hill, within easy reach of Maidstone town centre, the 450-acre Mote Park and the motorway network. The town houses are priced from just £244,995.
Maidstone is also the home of Barratt’s fabulous new Riverside Plaza, a development of contemporary apartments and houses, many of which provide views of the River Medway. The development, just a short distance from the town centre, will have its own exclusive fitness suite. Prices for the two-bedroom apartments range from £209,995 to £288,995. Barratt Kent is also registering interest in the forthcoming one-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom houses.
At Connaught Park in Tunbridge Wells, a development combining traditional-style houses and apartments have been created in a beautiful wooded setting approximately a mile from the town centre. A stream meanders through Connnaught Park, which has been designed to make the most of the green open space. The development is crossed by a network of cycleways and footpaths. The rail journey from nearby High Brooms Station to London takes approximately 50 minutes. Currently a range of apartments is available. Prices start at £177,500 for a one-bedroom apartment and £229,995 for a two-bedroom apartment. Guide prices for the houses are expected to start at £269,995 for a three-bedroom house and £364,995 for a four-bedroom house.
Green open space is a feature of Heron Fields, a development of one- and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses located in a popular residential area in Gravesend. One-bedroom apartments are priced from just £140,000, while two-bedroom apartments are priced from £170,000 and three-bedroom apartments start at £185,000. Three-bedroom town houses start at £249,995.
Work is now underway at one of Barratt’s latest developments, The Orchard@Eden Village, near Sittingbourne. Eden Village is being developed by Barratt in conjunction with other major house builders and the 62 new Barratt homes will include two-bedroom apartments and three-, four- and five-bedroom houses. The development, which is ideally situated for a number of excellent local schools, is already attracting interest from families and first-time buyers.
Sittingbourne has good rail links, with the journey time to London Victoria of approximately one hour. Prices at The Orchard@Eden Village range from £153,995 for a one-bedroom apartment to £415,995 for a five-bedroom house.
