THE HAVENS by Croudace Homes
THE HAVENS IS A NEW COMMUNITY OF 3 , 4 AND 5 BEDROOM HOMES IN THE NORTH OF HISTORIC TENTERDEN IN KENT , 12 MILES SOUTHWEST OF ASHFORD AND 19 MILES NORTH OF HASTINGS .
Nearby Appledore railway station offers services to the south coast and to Ashford International , which has regular trains to London Charing Cross and London St Pancras International , as well as Eurostar services to the continent ( due to recommence in 2023 ).
Although hard to believe today , the location of Tenterden once granted easy access to the sea and the town was known for its seafaring culture . In fact much of what is now Romney Marsh and the surrounding area was underwater during medieval times . This seafaring history is reflected in the town ’ s coat of arms , which depicts a three-masted ship flying the Cinque Ports Confederation coat of arms on its mainsail . It was this connection to the sea that inspired the name of The Havens and its branding . The nautical meaning of the word ‘ haven ’ is an inlet that provides shelter for ships or boats ; a harbour or small port .
Tenterden is surrounded by scenic Kent villages , each with beautiful historic buildings , churches and scenic Wealden views . Nearby Appledore , Rolvenden , Sissinghurst , Cranbrook and Hawkhurst
( to name a few ) are all popular with visitors and encapsulate traditional British village life .
Ashford is only 12 miles northeast of Tenterden and just 38 minutes from London by train . The Eurostar terminal at Ashford International also means that Paris and Brussels can be reached in a few short hours , giving Ashford a contemporary feel and energy .
Designer Outlet Ashford is a shopping hotspot and draws visitors from far and wide . Over 100 wellknown brands are available at the centre including Abercrombie & Fitch , All Saints , Jack Wills , Kurt Geiger , Polo Ralph Lauren , Ted Baker and Tommy Hilfiger . There are also a number of places to eat and pick up a coffee , making Designer Outlet Ashford the ideal destination for a day out .
The homes at The Havens are expertly designed to minimise their impact on the environment . A variety of habitats around the development have been enhanced with mature planting to develop natural ecosystems and encourage local species of wildlife to take residence .
Bird and bat boxes have been included on homes and trees around The Havens , and hedgehog highways have been added to allow them to move around the development with ease . Existing hedgerows and trees have also been preserved as habitats , as well as providing natural borders . To provide refuges for insects , a number of areas of open space around the development have been seeded with wildflowers and a variety of local woodland species have been planted , including hazel , honeysuckle , elder and silver birch .
