If you enjoy the charming beauty of the countryside, the soothing tranquility of the coast and the hustle and bustle of a vibrant city, there’s a dream home waiting for you in Kent – and it ticks all three boxes.
Conveniently close to the capital, yet far enough away to feel like an escape, Kent has long been a favorite for commuters in search of bustling market towns, natural beauty and easy living.
Now, thanks to two ground-breaking Keepmoat developments in Northfleet and Minster-on-Sea, the county is also an ideal place to find your dream home in a location that connects you to the city, countryside and coast.
Whether you prefer the waterfront balconies and tree-lined streets of Cable Wharf, or the sea air and island charm of Belgrave Place, living by the water and also close to London is a breeze.
Nestled on the sparkling banks of the River Thames, Cable Wharf was designed to enhance riverside living. Just 30 minutes from London, this vibrant area of one and two bedroom apartments and two, three and four bedroom homes enjoys a tranquil riverside setting with easy access to local amenities. So it’s a great choice whether you’re looking to get on the property ladder, move up or downsize.
Watch the world flow by
Step out onto the promenade outside and you’ll discover leafy boulevards and welcoming squares perfect for watching the world go by. Alternatively, head to the woodlands of Northfleet Urban Park, Riverside’s fort and flower gardens or Gravesend’s iconic iron pier.
With the thriving communities of Gravesend and Northfleet on your doorstep and three railway stations within five minutes’ drive, you’ll never have to travel far to find what you’re looking for. Stock up on essentials at Asda, Aldi and Tesco, all 10 minutes or less from your door. Visit Gravesend’s cobbled streets for independent shopping and a host of relaxing tea and tap rooms. Or plan a full day of retail therapy at nearby Bluewater Shopping Center with more than 300 major brands to discover.
Easy school trips and short commutes
With 14 pre-schools, primary and community schools within 15 minutes’ drive, parents will love the convenience of short school trips, while commuters can benefit from regular services and a half-hour commute into central London.
Belgrave Place – a coastal commuter’s dream
On the historic Isle of Sheppey, it’s hard to believe the city is just over an hour away. With spectacular coastal views, award-winning beaches and a refreshingly relaxed seaside feel, Minster-on-Sea gives you all the benefits of a seaside home, with excellent commuting links.
Located on the north of the island, close to the historic market town of Sheerness, Belgrave Place is a fresh, modern development of two, three and four bedroom homes perfectly positioned to make the most of the stunning location.
Pure energy, pure convenience
With Sheerness only two kilometers away and the bistros and bars of Minster-on-Sea even closer, Belgrave Place is ideal for sightseeing, walking and everyday shopping.
You’ll find a Morrisons supermarket just four minutes from the home, plus plenty of interesting independent shops and a twice-weekly market to explore. When it comes to major shopping, Sittingbourne and The Forum Shopping Center are just eight miles down the A249.
Being close to everywhere means shorter journeys to school even for parents and a choice of six schools within a two mile radius.
Make more of your free time
Living outside the city doesn’t have to mean living without the things you love. You can still go to the gym or pool at Sheppey Leisure Complex, or play at Sheerness Golf Club.
For a change, try kitesurfing on Minster beach, see skylarks in Swale Nature Reserve or take a trip through time at The Blue Town Heritage Centre. When the Monday morning commute returns, it’s good to know you’re only 15 minutes from Queenborough Station and 20 minutes from the M2.
Do you want to get out of the rat race, but want to keep your finger on the pulse? Add Cable Wharf and Belgrave Place to your viewing list and discover modern urban lifestyle and more, for yourself. To find out more about Keepmoat, visit the website.
