At Berkeley’s Holborough Lakes development in Kent, maintaining your New Year’s resolution to keep fit and healthy couldn’t be easier.

As one resident, who uses the onsite private residents’ gym, explains, location is the key. “I use the gym at least three times a week, its brilliant, and a fantastic way to meet the neighbours! Being right on the doorstep means there is no excuse not to go, even in the winter months. Not only is it just a short walk away, it is actually cheaper than the local gym which I used to belong to. Plus there is plenty of equipment so there is no waiting around while someone finishes their workout, which is great” says Gillian Powell, who has lived in a two bedroom apartment at the development for over two years.

“As well as being spacious, it has all the latest equipment and is always kept clean and tidy plus there is always someone on hand to help or give advise if you need them” adds Gillian.

Managed by RAW Corporate Health, the gym features a variety of equipment from running machines, cross trainers, rowing machines and free weights allowing residents to keep fit all year round. Plus, for those who enjoy the outdoors, the woods and green spaces that surround Holborough Lakes provide the perfect setting for a stroll with family or friends. While for the more enthusiastic resident, there are cycle paths around the development as well as the Nemes Diving and Water Sports Academy.

Holborough Lakes is a multi award winning development designed and built around the tranquil waters and gentle contours of a beautiful corner of rural Kent. This new build development consists of a collection of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3, 4 and 5 bedroom family houses with New England style pastel shaded weatherboarding, elegant verandas and sleek geometric lines.

The latest home to be unveiled is The Belvedere house style, an intricately designed five bedroom townhouse, complete with parking to the front of the property and a garage. Features include an individually designed kitchen with integrated appliances and stylish modern bathrooms. This is an ideal family home with a large kitchen/dining/family room plus three double bedrooms including an en-suite to the master bedroom.

Set on the edge of the North Downs, Holborough Lakes is a flourishing community in an idyllic semi-rural location. The development enjoys excellent transport links for parents who commute, being situated very close to the M20, M2 and M25. Ebbsfleet International train station recently enhanced its transport links with a high-speed rail line reducing journey times from Ebbsfleet to St Pancras to just 17 minutes. Bluewater Shopping Centre is also nearby.

Prices start from £309,950 for a 5 bedroom Belvedere. For further information regarding Holborough Lakes, visit: holboroughlakes.co.uk
