Holiday home success at White Sand in Camber

With rising European property prices and an increasingly weak pound against the Euro, many Brits have chosen to stay closer to home this summer and are investing in second homes in the UK.

White Sand, a new development by leading Kent housebuilder Ward Homes, is testament to this new trend with five holiday homes sold in as many weeks!

The development has continued to prove its success over the summer months and has been seen by many as a sound investment as well as somewhere idyllic to spend their holidays.

Nick Fenton, Managing Director of Ward Homes, said: “To sell this many homes, purely as holiday homes, in such a short space of time is tremendous. White Sand really is something special and with sales being consistently high with both those looking to buy a holiday home as well as those moving here permanently, people are realising the potential of owning a property here.”

White Sand is a fantastic place to buy a holiday home. With year round activities and an outstanding coastal location, it is somewhere you can holiday at any time of the year whatever your age and interests. Having your own holiday home also means less packing as you can keep anything you may need there, making it even easier to have a holiday at the drop of a hat.

For those who will perhaps only holiday once or twice a year, White Sand is still an excellent investment as proven by owners who rent out their holiday home throughout the rest of the year. In peak season, two-bedroom homes can be let for £350 - £650 per week with a projected yearly income of £13,000; three-bedroom cottages can let for £540 - £950 per week with a projected yearly income of £19,000: overall they represent yields of over 6%.

White Sand is an award-winning, charming fisherman’s village style development of two, three and four-bedroom homes opposite Camber Sands, one of South East England’s finest unspoilt beaches. Many of the houses also have stunning uninterrupted views across the open land of the adjacent conservation area.

The development is served by excellent transport links with Central London just a 90 minute drive away. Ashford International train station is just 20 minutes by rail from Rye station, giving easy access to Eurostar services.

The quaint town of Rye, once a haunt of smugglers, is just a few miles from White Sand. Perched on a hill, Rye has cobbled streets, fascinating old buildings, great local shops and a weekly market. There are plenty of cafés, restaurants and historic inns, and the famous annual Arts Festival adds to the cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Three and four-bedroom homes remain for sale at White Sand with prices starting from £264,995.
