If you're looking for a unique place to settle down in, how does being one of the first to live in Kent's new Garden City sound?

The Hamlet, a leafy oasis of 99 luxury homes near Ashford, is part of Chilmington, the county's new Garden City.

Once complete, it will be a unique place to live, with hundreds of acres of country park and new sports facilities, cricket pitches and pavilions, as well as its own high street with shops, restaurants and supermarkets, plus four new primary schools and a secondary school.

There will also be an array of footpaths, running tracks, cycle ways and bridleways connecting all the different areas so people living there will feel part of a community.

A Jarvis Homes development, the Hamlet at Chilmington combines traditionally built homes within large plots, together with contemporary and ecologically sustainable interiors of the highest standard. The developer uses only brick and block craftsmanship and attention to detail that can be lacking in some new builds.

The Hamlet is a mix of two, three, four and five bedroom houses - many of which are detached - set among landscaped, sizeable gardens with pockets of green, communal areas, such as The Hamlet Lagoon.

There is also a vast landscaping design for the development, which will see new trees, hedgerows and planting in abundance.

Homeowners will also have newly-installed high speed broadband and, with separate studies in the majority of the houses, working from home will be a breeze.

The first houses will be ready next spring, and a number of plots have already been reserved, and you'll be able to see around the show home in the summer of 2021. But in the meantime anyone interested can visit the new sales suite at 9 Bartlets Lane, Chilmington Green, TN23 8AB.
