Preserving the Past – Securing The Future
THE ENGINE SHEDS , NR . SANDWICH
ACROSS KENT , NICHE KENT HOUSEBUILDER QUINN HOMES ARE DEVELOPING A RANGE OF HOMES FOR EVERYONE . ONE OF THEIR LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IS THE RESTORATION OF THE ENGINE SHEDS , JUST OUTSIDE SANDWICH AT THE AWARD- WINNING HAMMILL PARK .
The Engine Sheds are stunning examples of Kent ’ s industrial heritage . Built to serve the East Kent Railway , connecting up the Kent Coalfields at the beginning of the 20th century , the buildings have stood empty for decades , having served no purpose as part of the Hammill Brickworks site .
Just launched , there are five stunning new homes ranging in size from 1,025sq . ft to a sumptuous 1,770sq . ft , importantly , all with courtyard gardens . With prices starting at £ 350,000 , with no stamp duty to pay for completions up to March 2021 , interested purchasers will get a huge amount of space for their money .
With four three-beds and a single four-bed , The Engine Sheds have all of the high specification finishes required for luxurious modern living . With the extensive use of stone and wood , excellent craftsmanship is evident in every home . The vaulted ceilings and scale of each house provide exceptional living space ; a rarity in today ’ s market .
Light and space are the overwhelming features of The Engine Sheds . Oak floors , set against white walls , emphasise the sunlight as it pours through the tall , gallery windows . This sense of space is further accentuated on the first floor where the roof lights further open up the contemporary design .
The integrity of the building ’ s industrial past has been retained wherever possible . Steel roof struts bring character and heritage to each house for an authentic interior style that is really only possible by sensitively renovating historic buildings for new homes . This development has been shortlisted for numerous awards for the country ’ s best renovation project .
As purchasers rethink their lifestyles in light of the Covid-19 pandemic , it ’ s never been more important than now for space dedicated to a home office . Set against the backdrop of Kent ’ s glorious countryside , the prospect of working from a home office , with Ultrafast Full Fibre , in this setting and in a piece of Kent ’ s heritage is simply tantalising .
A 10-year home warranty and marketing leading aftercare all add to the exceptional customer service that Quinn Homes provides .
The Engine Sheds fully embrace the best in green technology with communal EV charging points and power provided by air source heat pumps making them amongst the very greenest new homes available .
The Engine Sheds at Hammill Park are in the heart of East Kent . Exciting towns and cities are close by , with Canterbury , Margate and Deal all delivering on coast , countryside , arts and culture . The magic of The Engine Sheds is the ability to work from home in the stunning Kent countryside yet have exciting urban areas close by along with exceptional road and HS1 train links .’
