Just two homes remain for sale in the first phase of the popular Orchard Gate development, near East Malling.

Green open spaces, apple orchards and farmland provide the backdrop for the 35-home Millwood Designer Homes development.

Orchard Gate has long-distance views of the North Downs and of the 16 homes of phase one, all but two properties are reserved or sold.

Still remaining is plot 34, a mid-terrace three-bedroom home priced at £365,000 and plot 25, a five-bedroom detached home with double garage at £850,000.

Sales director Philip Brown says: “The remaining two homes will be ready to move into before Christmas.

“The three-bedroom mid terrace home has a car barn parking space.

“It would be ideal for a young couple looking to start a family or someone looking to downsize.

“There is a kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, and open-plan garden/living room with wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors to the rear garden.

“Upstairs, you’ll find an en-suite master bedroom, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

“At the other end of the scale, we have a large, five-bedroom detached home with a double garage, ideal for growing families.

“The kitchen/breakfast/family room is an impressive space, with a separate utility and bi-fold doors to the garden. There is also a cloakroom.

“The living room features an open fireplace with wood-burning stove, French doors and a bay window – you’ll also find a bay window in the study and dining room.

Add to that the spacious entrance hall and you have a wonderfully light and open home. Upstairs, five bedrooms – three en-suite – and a family bedroom provide all the space you could need.”

Homes at Orchard Gate comes with a 10-year warranty and alarm systems are fitted. There have double-glazed uPVC windows and a highly-efficient central heating system. All the homes have access to the communal apple orchard and the chance to take up an allotment.

The development is close to the M20. There are train stations at both East Malling and West Malling with a regular service to London Victoria in around an hour.
