New homes in Sittingbourne released

Rosechurch Homes is thrilled to be launching on Saturday 10th September Edgelake – an exclusive private development surrounded by beautiful countryside and located moments from a gorgeous and well established lake.

Edgelake, the Sittingbourne development, named after its glistening waterside surroundings, provides a tranquil environment where nature is on the doorstep of each home. The collection of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes, sees sustainability meet tradition with established exteriors and contemporary interiors. Set just off Swale Way, the small but charming site is an ideal location for families, first-time buyers, young couples and commuters with its peaceful and equally well-connected location.

Richard Hall from Rosechurch Homes comments: “We are proud to be launching the delightful Edgelake. The picturesque environment and bustling local market town make this the perfect location for those wishing for serene living but with excellent local amenities and travel links. Edgelake has been thoughtfully designed with nature at the heart of the development to promote calmness, positive well-being and seamless living all within an idyllic water-side setting. We encourage prospective buyers to view our fantastic 3 and 4 bedroom show homes which showcase the natural surroundings of the development through vibrant colour, contemporary design and artwork.”

Each property at Edgelake benefits from a superior specification with a focus on sustainability without compromising on space, luxury or comfort. The British made Roundel fitted kitchens are bespoke and feature soft close doors and cabinets, LED lights under cupboards, integrated Zanussi appliances including a fan oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. Specific homes also have utility rooms with a freestanding washing machine and dryer.

Bathrooms are sleek and include high quality fittings such as a Bluetooth-controlled anti fog LED mirror with a shaving socket, Roca white sanitaryware, a chrome heated towel rail and elegant tiling throughout. The generous specification includes a carefully and thoughtfully designed fitted wardrobe, some with sleek sliding mirrored doors, to each bedroom.  The storage facility extends to a partly-boarded loft space with the convenience of a fitted loft ladder. The kitchens, bathrooms and ensuites have contemporary Karndean flooring whilst the living spaces, bedrooms, stairs and landing have soft Zenith luxury carpets. In addition, homes include a Ring doorbell, and oak finish internal doors as well as a paved pathway, patio area and a private, turfed rear garden.  Rosechurch Homes has thought of ways of making moving day so much quicker and easier, especially without the need to start building modular wardrobes!

Energy considerate aspects include high-efficiency gas central heating, high-quality UPVC windows, a photovoltaic panel to each home and services ready for an electric vehicle charging port to be fitted. To benefit physical wellbeing, Rosechurch Homes will gift and plant a rose bush to each garden.

There is a three-bedroom and four-bedroom show home available for prospective buyers to view, both of which encompass family-living and are heavily nature-inspired. Lydia Southwell from Art Space Interiors comments: “For the larger home, we wanted to use the water element from the lake to influence our colour palette in various blue hues but also added gold to bring opulence, along with layers of soft velvets and textured artwork for the luxury finish. We have installed our own hand paintings throughout the home to tie in the colours and add depth, creating eye catching pieces. For the three-bedroom home, we also emphasised the natural surroundings with a loose colour palette of warm spice tones and muted greens paired with natural shapes and statement lighting for the wow factor as well as a mural in one of the children’s bedrooms full of woodland animals and flowers. The kitchen/dining/family room is the heart of the home so we designed this with the light blush colour on the walls to maximise the light, adding plenty of greenery in the accessories.”

The homes at Edgelake have a peaceful backdrop with the lake providing an incredible escape and somewhere for residents to enjoy pastimes, whether this be through a sunrise jog, evening stroll or a great dog walk. The development is 2.8 miles from Sittingbourne high street where charming boutiques, local cafes, big supermarkets and an abundance of eateries can be found. There is a street market every Friday which brings a lovely sense of community to the town whilst a series of restaurants such as Amalfi, an authentic Italian hotspot, Galata Mezze bar, Lang’s cocktails and The Golden Hope pub fulfil all food and drink requirements. The Light is popular with all ages and offers a 1960s American diner, a series of street vendors, a bowling complex and a cinema.

As well as providing the buzz of modern life, Sittingbourne is also a green haven with wonderous woodlands, green fields and wildlife reserves. An impressive network of cycle and foot paths allows locals to experience the great outdoors of this rural Kentish town. Equally, it is rich in history and culture with a prominent highlight being Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway, once an industrial line but now an exciting day out for families.

Despite being in the heart of the countryside, Edgelake is a primary hub for commuters as it is just 2.5 miles from Sittingbourne train station which has services to London St Pancras in under one hour, Canterbury in 24 minutes and Whitstable in 16 minutes. Those travelling by car can also reach their destination easily and quickly with Maidstone 16 miles drive away, Canterbury 17 miles away and Bluewater 29 miles away.
