Enjoying the best of London life while being able to retreat to an idyllic village home is the dream for many families. At Summerfield Nurseries in Staple, Kent, homebuyers can do precisely that. The collection of 17 homes is surrounded by greenery, yet direct trains run to London St Pancras from nearby Canterbury in under an hour.
With the very first show home set to launch on Saturday 23rd March, Summerfield Nurseries has been designed by award-winning homebuilder Elivia Homes Eastern (formerly Millwood Designer Homes) to provide magnificent residences for discerning buyers. Located just outside Staple, the properties are just nine miles from the historic, cathedral city of Canterbury, surrounded by gently undulating fields in the ‘Garden of England’. A selection of picturesque beaches and seaside towns, including Deal, Sandwich Bay and the stunning Pegwell Bay, are also within a 20-minute drive.
Counterbalancing the rural and coastal scenery is superb access to London – ideal for both work and leisure purposes. Canterbury West station is 25 minute drive away, with fast and reliable services into London St Pancras in just 55 minutes.
Philip Brown, Sales and Marketing Director at Elivia Homes Eastern, comments:
“Summerfield Nurseries provides that perfect balance between urban and rural lifestyles. The bright lights and employment opportunities of London are within easy reach, while weekends can be spent horse-riding, attending country fayres and dining in cosy country pubs. The quality of the homes at Summerfield Nurseries reflects this immensely attractive lifestyle offering, as well as the rich heritage of the local area.”
The properties at Summerfield Nurseries include 11 four-bedroom detached homes for private sale. The elegant residences have been designed with quality and lifestyle considerations built into every element, from their spacious interiors to the development’s green open spaces that encourage community connections.
Internally, the homes feature shaker style kitchens with stone worktops and plentiful storage. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, two single ovens, a full height fridge and full height freezer, a dishwasher and a wine cooler. Elivia Homes Eastern’s signature attention to detail shines through every element of the design, from the sumptuous bedrooms to the handy double garages.
