NEW HOMES COMING
TO CROWBOROUGH Known as the highest town in Sussex, Crowborough lies on the edge of Ashdown Forest’s 6,500 acres and is within close proximity to the spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Large early 20th-century houses, barn conversions and farmhouse-style properties make this popular East Sussex destination an extremely sought-after area to live – and now, Millwood Designer Homes is launching Coppice End, a charming collection of new homes. Accessed via a secluded road just a mile from
Crowborough’s thriving high street, Coppice End comprises 18 luxurious three, four and five-bedroom homes with a woodland backdrop. Designed using a mixed palette of materials including brick, slate, clay roof tiles and timber weatherboarding, these new properties showcase traditional Wealden architecture and striking exterior design. With convenient access to transport links, local amenities and leading schools, this is the perfect place for commuters, families or downsizers to call home Guide prices at Coppice End start from £380,000 for
a three-bedroom home. • Visit

recent Cambridge Economic Impact Model analysis showed that in 2016 the county welcomed 60 million visitors helping tourism contribute £3.6 billion to the Kent and Medway economy and accounting for 72,000 jobs, or 11% of Kent’s total employment. Serviced accommodation
providers saw average occupancy of 76% in 2017, compared to 75% in 2016, while 890,000 leisure journeys were made on Southeastern’s HighSpeed services, with £311 million having been added to the visitor economy since the service began in 2010. The report goes on to highlight a large number of developments across the region that it says show continued confidence in the importance of the tourism industry
to Kent and which are creating more jobs. They include: the new Curious Brewery and the Designer Outlet extension in Ashford; the re-opening of Gravesend’s Borough Market; and the opening of tasting rooms and Westerham Brewery at Squerryes Estate in Westerham. These are being supported by new accommodation including 12 new Travelodge hotels around the county; new Premier Inns due to open in Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells; and new luxury accommodation at Leeds Castle. Ron Roser, Chairman of Caxtons, said: “What really comes through in the report is just how commercial property activity is being driven by the needs of micro and small businesses rather than large corporations. It’s also good to see more space being occupied by companies moving into the area.” • Visit
