Taylor Wimpey unveils new homes in West Malling

Leading developer Taylor Wimpey is presenting an exciting new opportunity to own high-quality properties in West Malling, Kent – with the unveiling of Leybourne Chase.

Set within the leafy grounds of the former Leybourne Grange manor house and hospital, Leybourne Chase is the second phase of Taylor Wimpey’s highly sought-after new homes development in West Malling, Kent, and follows hot on the heels of the hugely successful first phase, Birling Grange.

Now open, the development offers stylish starter homes, spacious family houses and beautiful new flats for sale in West Malling, providing buyers in a range of circumstances with exceptional choice.

Fiona Creed, Senior Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The second phase has been launched in response to the incredible popularity of Birling Grange, which is now 90% sold.

“With interest in Leybourne Chase running high following its official launch, property-seekers should visit this Kent new homes development as soon as they can to give themselves the very best chance of securing the place of their dreams.”

The first release of properties in Leybourne Chase includes the three-bedroom ‘Brockwell’, priced from £279,995, and the magnificent four-bedroom ‘Finsbury’ detached house, priced from £419,995.

At the heart of the spacious family-sized ‘Finsbury’ is a large kitchen/dining room that’s perfect for entertaining, plus a triple aspect living room with bay windows to allow natural light to flood in. Both rooms open through French doors to the private rear garden, while a handy guest cloakroom can also be found off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a main bathroom. The stunning master bedroom, complete with en-suite facilities, occupies the entire top floor, while outside there is a garage and allocated parking.

Home-hunters can find out more about the range of time and money-saving incentives available by visiting the West Malling new homes development.

These include the popular Easy Start shared equity scheme, which lets qualifying first-time buyers own a new home now for as little as 85% of the full price, and Family and Friends advantage, which provides a 5% annual return-on-investment for those helping a loved-one to put down a deposit on a new Taylor Wimpey home at Leybourne Chase.

Enjoying a delightful, semi-rural location on the outskirts of Leybourne, Leybourne Chase 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.

Nearly two-thirds of the development site – some 140 acres – will be preserved as green open space for recreation and leisure, including parks, recreation grounds, fields, children’s playgrounds, sports pitches, ‘trim trail’ footpaths, community allotments, a lake and an arboretum.

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 easy reach 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.

For commuters, West Malling railway station is just over a mile from the development and provides regular services to London Victoria. Maidstone is only seven miles away by road, while quick links to the M20 means central London is within easy reach.

The Leybourne Chase Sales Information Centre and showhomes is located off London Road, West Malling, and open daily from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
