Merchant’s Mews, on Canterbury’s New Dover Road, is a courtyard development of 12 new cottage-style terraced and semi-detached houses providing a choice of six different interior layouts.

The designer kitchens at the Rydon Homes development have granite work surfaces and integrated and stainless-steel finish appliances as standard. There is also allocated parking and four of the new houses have their own garages.

"We have received a number of enquiries from prospective buyers who are considering moving to Canterbury from London, with a view to commuting," said Rydon Homes sales and marketing director, Natalie Flint.

"Canterbury has excellent schools, colleges and universities, a relaxed lifestyle, easy access to the coast and countryside and, of course, in terms of property, home buyers get much more for their money than in London."

Rydon Homes currently has a range of incentives for buyers including part-exchange for those whose property is not worth more than 70 per cent of the value of the Rydon home they want to buy.

Prices start at £299,950, and for more information contact Rydon Homes on 01227 766914.
