Homebuyers looking to enjoy the best of both worlds – a quick commute during the week and vast green open spaces to escape the hustle and bustle at weekend, should look to Bellway’s selection of three bedroom homes at Light in Ashford, Kent.

Surrounded by an abundance of parkland, Light is but a short drive from the Kent Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Kentish town of Ashford offers up a plethora of activities for residents, and is also home to Ashford International train station, offering direct services into London in just 38 minutes.

Nicky Morton Sales Director at Bellway Homes South East comments: “The Homes at Light couldn’t be in a much better location as so much is within easy reach. Ashford International is minutes away, offering fantastic travel connections, and a wealth of green open spaces are available with the Kent Downs just a short drive away. Purchasers looking for a home with the best of both worlds need look no further than the houses at Light.”

Light offers a great selection of three bedroom homes in Ashford finished to a high specification with quality fittings and fixtures throughout. An example of one of the stunning houses available at Light is ‘The Haze’, which features an open plan kitchen and dining room features a Zanussi stainless steel fan oven, gas hob, and cooker hood. The dual aspect living room features double doors leading out onto the garden providing natural light.

On the first floor, the property offers three bedrooms, one of which is a single room. All bedrooms are served by a main bathroom including a chrome heated towel rail and Roca Laura sanitaryware. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.

Ideal for families, Light is located near a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, including Great Chart Primary School and Ashford Oaks Community Primary School for younger pupils.
