Where? Terlingham Gardens is
situated in the village of Hawkinge,
which sits in countryside on top of
the North Downs at 508ft above sea
level, with stunning views of nearby
Cheriton and Folkestone. An excellent
connection to the M20 makes it just
twenty minutes to Ashford International
station, with its fast rail link to St Pancras.
Folkestone is under ten minutes’ drive.
What? A gated community of 20 two
and two/three bedroom semi-detached
bungalows and chalet bungalows,
aimed at the over 55s, with landscaped
communal gardens and step-free access.
Maintenance and care packages are
available to residents, offering services
from window cleaning to personal care.
Those buying at early stages can have
house details tailored to individual
needs, as well as choosing from a range
of designer kitchen, bathroom, flooring
and decorating finishes. The first
phase of a larger development, which
will include family homes, it would
be a great opportunity for different
generations of one family to live nearby.
How much? Bungalows start
from £329,995. For more information
call 01303 893080. You can look at
the properties on rightmove.co.uk
Where? Bang in the middle of
Tunbridge Wells, with all its amenities,
so close to Hoopers you could
practically walk there blindfolded.
The station with its one hour link
to Charing Cross, is similarly close
and The Pantiles area, with all
its lovely shops and restaurants a
mere saunter away. A walk up the
hill takes you to theatres, Fenwick
and Royal Victoria Place shopping
centre, urban living at its best.
What? While not specifically
designed for the retirement market,
these four apartments (three onebedders
and one two-bedroom) would
be a great choice for downsizers wanting
to trade the big family home on the
outskirts, for a beautifully fitted out
modern pad right in the thick of things.
How much? The guide price
is £200,000. Telephone 01732
450184 for more information and
look on the website regalpoint.co.uk
Where? The Coachworks is located
in the heart of the lovely Wealden
village of Ticehurst, surrounded by
beautiful countryside, with trains to
London from nearby Stonegate and
the A21 five minutes away. Wadhurst
is the next village along and it’s 20
minutes to Tunbridge Wells.
What? A new development of
25 luxury two-bedroom apartments
and penthouses for those aged over
65, built in red brick in the local
vernacular style. The apartments are
light and airy, with kitchens adjoining
the sitting areas. Ideal for downsizers
looking for stress free living and
peace of mind, the development
features a concierge service, gardens,
parking and lift to all floors.
How much? Prices start at
£340,000, with sales via Savills,
Tunbridge Wells 01892 507005,
