FAMILY VALUES IN A VILLAGE SETTING

Planning permission is seldom granted for new homes in small, traditional villages. Not so in idyllic Brasted in Kent, where award-winning homebuilder Appledore Developments Ltd is busy developing Mulberry Place, an exclusive community comprising 1, four bedroom detached home and 4, three bedroom mews homes.

Mulberry Place will benefit from Appledore’s typically high design, quality and luxury finish. White weatherboarding lends the homes a traditional feel and blends seamlessly with the period properties that characterise Brasted. Inside, bay windows and fitted kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances and Saloni ceramic flooring, along with integrated wardrobes to some of the bedrooms all provide a comfortable living space.

This small development is in the heart of Brasted, with its renowned antique shops and quaint country pubs. The village atmosphere provides a safe and secure environment for children and the surrounding countryside, which includes picturesque Toy’s Hill with its rolling landscape, offers plenty of country walks. Moreover, with four well-regarded primary schools and five secondary schools nearby, Brasted is in a sought-after catchment area.

Yvette Brotherton, Sales and Marketing Director for Appledore Developments, comments: “Mulberry Place is perfect for downsizers looking to escape the rat race and for families wanting to bring their children up in a safe, rural environment. Brasted is a traditional, friendly community and I would urge purchasers to contact us as soon as possible to avoid missing out.”

Brasted offers a haven away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, yet is also well-equipped with everyday conveniences, including: a convenience store, coffee shop and several picturesque family village pubs, in addition to a Tesco’s and a Waitrose around four miles away. The nearby towns of Sevenoaks and Westerham, which are serviced by a regular bus service, include a wide variety of well-known high street brands, independent boutiques, restaurants and bars.

Ideal for commuters, Brasted is situated on the A25 offering easy access to the A21 and M25. By rail, nearby Sevenoaks train station provides services to Cannon Street in 31 minutes and London Charing Cross in 33 minutes, via London Bridge. Gatwick International Airport is just 25 miles away.

Prices for the homes start from £399,950. For further information and for your chance to buy off-plan, please contact Appledore Developments on 01732 469888, or call James Millard Estate Agents on 01959 565756.
