Top 9 Reasons To Buy New Homes In Kent

Conveniently Located
Kent is a big country, full of beautiful countryside and home to a more relaxed lifestyle. For those that need their urban fix, London is under 60 miles away with good rail and road links from the coast. For that extra special city excursion, Europe is 75 minutes by ferry or you can hop on the Eurostar to Paris.

No Hassle to Get Started
Many builders that have new homes for sale in Kent are offering generous incentives to potential buyers such as paying the stamp duty and solicitor’s fees. These offers are always changing, so it is good shop around and see who’s got a good deal on.

Decorated exactly as you wish
Orange paint, hideous flowered wallpaper and carpet that was around when Churchill was in Downing Street. With a new house, you don’t have to worry about fixing someone else’s decorating disasters. Many new homebuilders allow you to choose the fittings and colours before the home is complete, so you can just move in and enjoy!

No hidden defects
Your house is brand new so you don’t need to worry about hidden damp or rot underneath the plaster. The roof won’t need doing for at least another 20 years and the boiler has never been used. A brand new house really does have its advantages.

Sport and Leisure
Since you don’t have to spend your weekends stripping wallpaper or refinishing floors, you have more time to take advantage of all that Kent has to offer. For starters, the area has more castles than anywhere else in the country. Then, there is the 67 golf courses, horse racing at Folkstone, motor racing at Brands Hatch, cricket at the Canterbury Cricket Ground and, of course, loads of water sports such as kite-surfing and sailing.

Seaside
Kent has more miles of coastline than any other English county and more than 1/3 of Kent residents live in coastal districts. Over 14 million people visit Kent each year on holiday. You, on the other hand, can just live there and enjoy the sea all year round.

Get Ahead
Kent is a great place to get ahead. With weekly wages on par with Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester and higher than Cardiff, Glasgow and Newcastle, you’ll have more money to take advantage of Kent’s extensive leisure scene. The low housing prices make the situation even more inviting. Here’s a list of average house

Shop Til You Drop
If all that extra money you’ll have starts burning a hole in your pocket, Kent is the perfect place… it’s a virtual shopping paradise. Bluewater, one of the largest shopping centres in Europe is waiting with over 320 shops and a whopping 13,000 parking spaces. If outlet shopping is what you’re after then you’ll find the shopping complexes in Ashford and Medway to be to your taste. Maidstone, Canterbury and Thanet are also developing shopping centres.

Celebrities
Jo Brand, Gloria Hunniford, Fredrick Forsyth, Brenda Blethyn, David Gower, McKenzie Crook, Louise Dean and Fiona Phillips all have Kent connections. You never know who you’re going to spot at the corner shop.

With innovative developments going up in Hawkinge, Folkestone, Canterbury, Leeds Village, Ashford, Hythe, Maidstone, Ramsgate, Hollingbourne and Charing, there has never been a better time to consider buying a new home in Kent.

London to Brighton Road Trip

This is a road trip whereby you can reach your destination in around a couple of hours, especially if you are coming from London’s centre. Brighton is due south from London, and around 90km from the city. To get there, the best route is to go south of the Thames and take the A23 South. You will be magically transformed from the busy city life to the freedom and peacefulness of the countryside as you hit the Weald Countryside of West Sussex, and then the South Downs.

After a while the A23 becomes the M23 and you will be travelling along the coast to Brighton, which received city status in 2000. Often called “London by the Sea”, Brighton has come a long way since it was notorious for the violent clashes between “Mods and Rockers” in the Sixties. It is now a place of trendy bars, cafes and restaurants, and a fashionable place to go shopping! The Lanes is a shopper’s haven. Brighton is a great destination to chill out in after a drive from London. The Royal Pavillion and Brighton Pier are two landmarks well worth checking out here!

Norfolk Coast Road Trip

If you want peace and quiet – then a road trip around the Norfolk coast is exactly what the doctor ordered! To get there from Norwich, take the A47 to Kings Lynn. The drive from Kings Lynn to Cromer along the A149 is quite magnificent, and is famous for the nature reserves of Cley and Titchwell. If you have time, why not take the B1355 inland to the cornfield turned into a maze at Compton Hall!

The rural and rugged beauty of the Norfolk Coast cannot be underestimated. Many of the beaches along the coast are empty hideouts where solitude is the order of the day. What could be better than to stop off an empty beach with miles of sand, salt marshes, and forests.

If you are planning on staying around, the North coast is an area perfect for activities such as rambling and cycling. Or if you are driving in the area, make sure you check out the stunning villages composed of flint-built cottages, craft shops and galleries, and country pubs.

The Cotswolds Road Trip

The Cotswolds is renowned for its majestic scenery, and is one of the most visited regions in the UK. It is famous for its village buildings made from limestone and adorned with ivy! Located in primarily rural setting, you will be astounded by the scenery including the Cotswold Hills, and charming towns such as Gloucester, Cirencester, Tewkesbury and the racing mecca of Cheltenham.

If you are travelling from east or west, get onto the M4 to the number 17 junction. After this, you will take the A429 to the north and make your way towards Cirencester. Why not drop off here and have a look around the pretty town and be charmed by its rural air. After here, take the A417 east and make your way to Fairford. From here, veer left to the Southrop, and make your way through the charming locations of Hatherop and Coln Saint Aldwyn. You never know, you might see some celebrities whizzing along the road in their sports cars, as actress Liz Hurley and model Kate Moss own properties in this region!

After reaching Barnsley, you get onto the A429 and head north to Bourton. After here, take a right to Westcote, which is the home of Oscar winner Kate Winslet.

The road from Westcote takes you to Stow on the Wold and keep on the A429 to Moreton in Marsh. It’s rumoured that this route has been in existence since the time of the Roman occupation of Britain. This road will bring you right back to the M40 thus completing your tour of the Cotswolds!

Yorkshire Moors Road Trip

If you are looking for a bit of escapism, why not consider a Yorkshire Road Trip? Probably the best place to start off at is Leeds, which is now a great city for shopping and nightlife! From Leeds take the A64 road to York and then Malton. Get onto the A169 and make your way to Pickering. From Pickering you are on the route to the renowned Yorkshire Moors. If you take the A169 heading north, you will come across some really inspiring scenery. Some call it bleak, others call it majestic! From the Moors you will make your way to Whitby where you can sample some delightful freshly catched fish!

From here, take the A171 west, and pass through the charming villages of Stonegate, Castleton and Hutton le Hole and then onto Kirkbymoorside. You could stop off in places like Helmsley or Thirk or indeed any of the delightful villages in Yorkshire – some of them are exactly like Emmerdale are!

Scottish Highlands Road

Trip A round trip of the Scottish Highlands area is around 400 miles and can be spread over 4-5 days, but its well worth it for its rugged scenery and the beauty of the countryside! If you are starting in Edinburgh, you will take the Forth Bridge Crossing, and take the M90 to Perth. From Perth take the A9 route and take a trip to the Blair Athol Whiskey Distillery which is to the south of Pitlochry, where you could spend the night, and the following day take the A9 through the Grampian Mountains to Inverness. Wonderful views await you here.

On the third day you could take the A96 to Elgin, and you can take a trip to the Glenfiddich Distillery at Dufftown. And if you sample some of the local produce, make sure to stay overnight here! The fourth day of your trek across the beautiful Scottish Highlands will take you on the B9009 to Glenlivet and its distillery, and then the A939, A93 and B974 to Fettercairn. Then you will take the A90 home.

A road trip through the Scottish Highlands is an unforgettable experience – you will explore the scenic beauty of moutain ranges, wonderful lochs and exciting wildlife. If you are coming from Glasgow you could also take the A82 and then the A83 to Inverary. Find out more about the Scottish Highlands.
