Second showhome in sought-after Kent village

A longed-for move to a large and luxurious home within an hour’s commute of London could move a step closer with a visit to a new showhome near Ashford.

Nine months after the original four-bedroom showhome opened at the leafy Saxon Woods development in the popular Kent village of Hamstreet, Redrow is opening the doors to a second property this Saturday (June 20).

Offering 2,484 square feet of accommodation, the Sandringham is one of the largest and most luxurious homes within the development.

Redrow sales director Rachael Baillie says: “Saxon Woods offers the kind of lifestyle many people aspire to thanks to its leafy location, village setting and strong commuter links to London. The four-bedroom Balmoral showhome has been a real inspiration to visitors since it opened in the autumn, but we also appreciate that viewing is an important part of the buying process. While it would be impractical to have a showhome in every style, we’re giving buyers the opportunity to sample the spaciousness, elegance and practicality of the larger properties with the opening of a five-bedroom Sandringham showhome.”

At the very heart of the Sandringham and providing a focal point for family life is the convivial open plan kitchen, breakfast area and family room. This inviting sociable space is complemented by a dedicated dining room for more formal entertaining and separate lounge for quieter moments.

A study provides space for parents who occasionally work from home to do so away from distraction and could also be used for children to complete their homework.

There’s a utility room to keep the washer and dryer out of the kitchen and provide extra storage. A boot room, cloakroom and attached double garage complete the ground floor space.

Upstairs, two of the five bedrooms boast en-suite facilities therefore minimising the morning rush for the family bathroom. The master bedroom also enjoys the added glamour of a dressing room.

A Sandringham, similar to the new showhome, is available from £714,995.

The new homes are ideally placed just a short walk away from Hamstreet Station, putting London St Pancras within an hour’s journey. There’s also a choice of schools nearby and a bustling village centre that’s home to shops and eateries. Homeowners can explore the local area via a myriad of footpaths or take a stroll along the towpath of the Royal Military Canal or through Hamstreet Woods Nature Reserve.

The Sandringham showhome at Saxon Woods opens this Saturday (June 20). For more information about the homes available see redrow.co.uk/saxonwoods.
