infrastructure and development is breathing new life into the region, and in particular the Ebbsfl eet area will remain a vital gateway to continental Europe, regardless of the impact of Brexit.
“There are endless attractive prospects drawing people to the area, including excellent commuter links, high employment rates and strong educational options. Many of the county’s historic towns are experiencing vast improvements and expanding residential bases, such as Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Tunbridge Wells. In
addition, Kent’s housing stock is expected to benefi t from an
additional 9,800 new homes annually until 2031, according to the most recent Kent Property Market Report. “Meeting this strong demand, we have a number of current and forthcoming sites throughout the heart of the Kent. In Marden, one of our largest sites to date, Windsor Meadow, has seen excellent footfall this year and interest is extremely high, thanks to the direct commute from Marden Station into central London. Homes are also being snapped up fast at Brambledown in Maidstone, from downsizers and families alike looking to benefi t from the town’s ongoing improvement, and only two homes remain in Sutton Valence at The Old Orchard. “Later this year, we will be launching a couple of exciting new developments in East Kent, including beautiful sites in both Canterbury and Cliffsend, two already thriving towns.”
