Highmead House is a development comprising of 28 new-build homes, landscaping, and infrastructure in Ashford. As part of the development in partnership with Bellway, the existing 2.5 storey Edwardian building has been kept and renovated to create a distinctive character for the new homes.

West Kent has built six new properties, including four x two-bedroom flats and two x two-bedroom maisonettes. The homes will be available for rent and shared ownership from August 2022.

With a range of amenities, good transport links and communities nearby, this will prove to be a great place to live and grow for future residents. The outside and garden space of Highmead House

We know that in the current cost-of-living crisis, having good-quality, affordable homes are crucial for people across Kent. We are prioritising developing new homes in key areas across the county to ensure we are playing our part.”
