Helen ChristieMillwood Designer Homes has just revealed its latest collection of properties, Summerfield Nurseries, just outside the idyllic Kent village of Staple. The impressive family residences launch off-plan in October.
Summerfield Nurseries will offer a collection of 17 new homes to the outskirts of the village, including 11 four-bedroom detached houses for private sale. The impressive family homes from the WhatHouse? Award-winning developer acknowledge the area’s architectural heritage, combining traditionally designed exteriors with well-appointed contemporary living accommodation, interspersed with green open space to encourage the building of community connections.
Philip Brown, sales and marketing Director at Millwood Designer Homes comments: “Staple provides the perfect setting for a family lifestyle surrounded by greenery, with plenty of fresh air and exercise. The lovely community feel of the village and idyllic rural and coastal surroundings make this the ideal place for our collection of substantial new family homes at Summerfield Nurseries. Residents here will also enjoy being under half an hour’s drive from the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, with its traditional cobbled streets and host of entertainment, shopping and leisure options. With only 11 four-bedroom residences available, we anticipate strong demand for these particular properties.”

Interiors have been thoughtfully planned, combining modern living spaces with a first-class specification. Shaker style kitchens are equipped with a comprehensive range of wall and floor units with stone worktops, up stand and splash back, with a selection of integrated appliances including an induction hob, two single ovens, full height fridge and full height freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher.
