Plan your seaside getaway

Address: Bakers Field, Cliffsend Price: From £370,000 Developer: Millwood Designer Homes

With the price of a property by the coast totalling 14% more than the average house in the UK, a seaside lifestyle can sometimes feel out of reach for homebuyers. However, Millwood Designer Homes’ Bakers Field development in Cliffsend, near Ramsgate, is the perfect choice for buyers on a budget, whilst still not compromising on style or quality. The picturesque village is just a stone’s throw from Pegwell Bay, and is a fantastic choice for buyers looking to retreat to the coast. In comparison to the well-known neighbouring seaside hotspot of Broadstairs just under five miles away, the average property price in Cliffsend is £328,479 – a 26% decrease on the average property price in Broadstairs, which currently stands at £415,405.

This, partnered with the opportunity to reserve a property with just a 5% deposit through the Help to

Buy scheme, makes Bakers Field a fitting place to call home.

Paul Ingleton, new homes sales manager at Wards, said: “At Wards of Kent we are finding an increasing number of clients looking to buy in Kent’s coastal areas. This is specially so around the Cliffsend area, with in excess of 1,000 buyers looking to buy here.”

“Cliffsend, with its great road links and fast train links to London, is a great location to live. It is also an attractive area for the competitive prices compared to the neighbouring Broadstairs and Sandwich markets, both of which are within easy driving distance.” Demonstrating the renowned quality and design of a Millwood home, the current show home, The Lenham, is a beautiful four-bedroom detached property with open-plan interiors. Downstairs, a hallway leads into a living room with french doors going into the garden. There’s also a separate dining room and a study the ideal space for home working. At the back of the house, an openplan kitchen/breakfast room opens out onto the private back garden through dual aspect bi-fold doors, while a separate utility room and cloakroom are welcome bonus additions. Upstairs, a turned staircase opens out onto a wide landing, leading to a spacious family bathroom and four wellproportioned bedrooms. All bathrooms feature contemporary white suites, heated chrome towel rails and cabinetry.
