Open plan spaces offer Kent families more time together
Research from Lloyds bank reveals that homeowners value the kitchen as the most important room in the house, with one in six saying this is where the family spend the most time together. Understanding the preference and convenience for open-plan living, especially in the Capital where space is at a premium, Bellway is offering a selection of modern homes with open plan kitchens perfect for quality family time, at their development The Brackens in Welling, South East London.
Launching in late autumn, The Brackens will be a collection of brand new three and four bedroom family homes in the London Borough of Bexley. Located within a quiet cul-de-sac, all properties are designed to be functional and practical for today’s busy family lifestyles. Spacious kitchens, living and dining areas are sure to be the hub of the home, ideal for coming together and playing, or relaxing at the end of the day.
Peter Knights, Sales Director of Bellway Homes Thames Gateway, comments: “The homes at The Brackens will become a fantastic addition to what is an increasingly expanding community in South East London. We understand the growing need for spacious rooms at home, and our contemporary houses will meet those needs. The first selection of homes are now available for reservation so we urge potential purchasers to act fast!”
As well as the fantastic practical space in these new homes, the selection of schools in the surrounding area make them perfectly located for growing families. Nearby primary schools include Eastcote Primary, Bishop Ridley CE Primary and Hook Lane Primary schools, and for older pupils, Welling School, Harris Academy Falconwood and Bexley Grammar are all within five miles from The Brackens.

For more extensive retail options, Bluewater is just a 20 minute drive from home and boasts over 300 stores and more than 60 eateries, as well as 16-screen cinema and exhibition centre.
