New homes in Ashford make room for local wildlife

Taylor Wimpey is making special provision for the resident bat population at its popular Repton Park development of new homes for sale in Ashford, Kent.

Considerate housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is going to great lengths to ensure some of the wilder residents of its Repton Park development of new build homes in Ashford remain safe and happy.

Enjoying close proximity to open countryside and woodland, the development of property for sale in Ashford lies in an area that is home to a number of bats.

As a result, the leading housebuilder is undertaking several measures to protect the flying mammals including the creation of a purpose-built bat refuge within the development of apartments and houses for sale in Ashford, along with lofts above a number of out-buildings, which provide an ideal habitat for the animals, plus a smattering of bat boxes.

Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “As a responsible housebuilder, we are keen to ensure that all of our new homes developments have a minimal impact on the environment and local wildlife habitats – and this is certainly the case at our Repton Park development of new homes in Ashford.

“We are doing all we can to accommodate our animal neighbours and we’re confident that these measures will mean our very own resident bats feel just as at home as the people who purchase their own Ashford property at the development.”

A range of new homes for humans is also currently under construction at Repton Park, including two-bedroom properties priced from just £124,995, three-bedroom houses from only £187,250 and four-bedroom designs starting at £209,995.

Repton Park lies within easy reach of Ashford’s large range of high street shops, traditional boutiques and bakers, as well as the Bluewater and Lakeside shopping centres. A choice of primary and secondary schools is also located close by.

Good public transport is a vital part of the overall plan for the development, and a new bus service will link the community with Ashford town centre and railway station, with rail connections to central London, Maidstone, Folkestone and to continental Europe. The new high speed rail link means it is now just a 38-minute journey from Ashford International to St Pancras.

For more information about the new homes at Repton Park, property-seekers can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located in Sir Henry Brackenbury Road, off Templar Way, Ashford, and open daily from 10am to 5pm.
