New village plots are a real winter warmer

Expect toasty toes at a small new development with winter-proof extras. Homes & Living took a look.

Now available at the Pentland Homes development, at Woodchurch Rd, Shadoxhurst, near Ashford, are threebedroom homes, priced from £450,000.

The homes have lots to keep you warm this winter, with thermostat-controlled radiators to the top floor, heated towel rails and cavity wall insulation as well as the ground floor underfloor heating.

Popular for food, it offers a weekly ‘Fish Friday’, with a choice of cod, haddock or plaice fried in homemade beer batter. Ashford is a 12-minute drive away, with its newly extended outlet centre and Ashford International for HS trains. Tenterden, with its pretty high street, independent shops and pubs, is a 15-minute drive away. Marketing suite at the 12-home development is open Friday to Monday, from 10am to 5pm.
