Laura Bellamy, Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Birling Grange is a beautiful location to call home and so it’s no surprise these stunning new properties are so popular with buyers in search of new homes in West Malling and property for sale in Leybourne.

The four-bedroom ‘Meyrick’ at Plot 46, priced just £344,995, is a carefully designed townhouse offering generous accommodation across three storeys.

A magnificent contemporary open-plan kitchen, living and dining room occupies the entire first floor and boasts an attractive Juliet balcony overlooking the private rear garden.

Three bedrooms, including the master with en-suite facilities, are found on the top floor, along with a main bathroom. Meanwhile, a handy utility room, a guest cloakroom and a fourth well-proportioned bedroom are located on the ground floor. Outside, the property benefits from a carport and allocated parking.

Birling Grange is being developed on the site of the former Leybourne Grange manor house and hospital and will comprise houses and apartments, community and leisure facilities – all surrounded by some 140 acres of public open space that includes parks, sports pitches, play areas, allotments, orchards, an arboretum, footpaths and picnic areas.

The development boasts extensive green credentials, with every new home designed to exceed the eco-friendly requirements of new-build properties, with significantly lower carbon emissions than standard homes thanks to a variety of design initiatives including low-energy lighting and energy-efficient appliances.

One in five homes will also include grey water recycling, while selected properties will benefit from solar heating to cut energy bills.

The redevelopment of Birling Grange forms part of the Hospital Sites Programme run by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the national housing and regeneration agency, to bring 96 former hospital sites back into productive use. As well as working with Taylor Wimpey to develop the site, the HCA is providing funding to ensure new and affordable homes are available for the local community.

In time, the development will also enjoy a good selection of local amenities, including a community centre, a convenience store, a school and a health centre.

Local facilities already within a short cycle ride include infant and junior schools, shops and pubs, while nearby Aylesford is home to a wider choice of shopping and schools for youngsters of all ages.

As well as its proximity to good rail connections, Maidstone is only seven miles away by road, and the M20 is a short drive from the new homes.
