Keith OsborneAs the clocks moved backwards, Kent’s property market is still in full swing as buyers look to secure a new property in time to move in before Christmas. For those looking for a picturesque Christmas in the countryside, Pentland Homes’ boutique development Radstone Gate in Stelling Minnis is right in the heart of the famous Kent Downs, south of Canterbury.
Prices for a detached four-bedroom home start at £705,000 and range up to £1.62million for an elegant five-bedroom home spread over three storeys, complete with three en suites, triple garage and off-road parking for three cars.
Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Radstone Gate is a bespoke development of just 21 luxury three-, four- and five-bedroom spacious country homes finished to Pentland Homes’ signature high standards. 18 of the homes feature completely unique typologies, including the four-bedroom ‘Oxlip’, on the market for £775,000 and four-bedroom ‘Teasel’ on the market for £760,000, both designed in a traditional Kent style combining brick, tile and timber.
Both homes benefit from a spacious rear garden, two en suites, off-road parking for two cars and garage. Internally, residents can expect a modern twist on country living, with highlights including, oak joinery, quartz worktops and real log burners. Additionally, the ‘Oxlip’, also benefits from a large home study.
The 'Fuchsia' house type
For growing families looking for more space or perhaps to accommodate an older relative, the five-bedroom ‘Fuchsia’, on the market for £960,000, is designed in a similar luxury style, benefitting from three en suites, double garage, study/playroom and utility.
Karrina Oki, sales and marketing director at Pentland Homes, commented: “I think some people would be surprised by the level of activity in the property market in the run up to Christmas. In reality, at the moment, many buyers are looking for a fresh start heading into the New Year in homes with more space, inside and out. It is full steam ahead for organised buyers aiming to be in a new home on Christmas Day.
“Radstone Gate is perfect for those who want a heritage design alongside all of the advantages of buying a new build. It is well suited for those looking to enjoy the countryside and benefits of rural communities, but with great connections into London and the wider South East.”
Residents can expect thoughtfully devised living spaces, designed for optimum quality, convenience and comfort throughout. Kitchens are a real showcase of each property, crafted by Roma with soft-close doors, contemporary silgranit sinks, integrated Neff appliances and sleek quartz worktops. A standalone breakfast bar provides additional storage, workspace and informal seating area.
Reception rooms are equipped with real log burners and have traditional oak-framed patio doors leading out onto a spacious rear gardens, designed to not be overlooked. Upstairs lie the bedrooms, generously proportioned with pretty views of the garden, surrounding fields and leafy communal green to the front. Master suites feature built-in wardrobes with sliding doors and have adjoining en suite bathrooms, fitted with ceramic floors, contemporary white sanitaryware, thermostatic chrome showers and mirrored vanity units.
The 'Harebell' house type
Each property has been fitted with underfloor heating (to the ground floor), fibre optic broadband, gas fired central heating, low energy LED lighting, USB charger points, intruder alarms, TV and BT points, double glazing and all homes bar one have a single or double garage with lighting and power pre-installed.
Radstone Gate combines the tranquillity of rural life with the proximity to some of the south’s most attractive and vibrant towns and cities. Canterbury is a 20-minute drive away, the historic cathedral city offers an abundance of restaurants, bars and shops, whilst nearby Ashford Designer Outlet offers further opportunities for retail therapy.
The development is incredibly well-connected with numerous high-speed train links to London in under an hour from Canterbury and Folkestone stations. Ashford International station also runs Eurostar services to Paris and Brussels in under two hours.
