Housebuilder launches new homes in popular Kentish seaside town

Described as one of England’s prettiest seaside destinations with an award-winning high street, Deal is known for its cool cultural vibe and thriving music and food scene[1]. Recently, local housebuilder, David Wilson Homes, has launched its new development, Sholden Meadows, in Deal.

Located on the outskirts of the historic village of Sholden, the development boasts a collection of energy-efficient three-and four-bedroom homes, with a range of incentives currently available including Deposit Unlock, Key Worker Deposit Contribution and Movemaker.

The new homes at Sholden Meadows means that David Wilson Homes will contribute £805,084 to the local area, to support with improvements to local services. The money pledged is set to be divided across multiple sections of the Sholden economy, including being allocated towards education, health and social care and transport services.

Alongside its contributions towards local services, David Wilson Kent will also be delivering 174 homes, of which 30% will be affordable. This guarantees that a mixture of affordable rent and intermediate tenures will be on offer at Sholden Meadows for members of the Kent community, who would otherwise be unable to get onto the property ladder.

With options of terraced and detached homes, properties at Sholden Meadows are a great option for families looking to settle by the seaside. Surrounded by open green spaces and wildflower meadows, buyers will find nature on their doorstep, making it ideal for outdoor lovers and family fun. Additionally, the development is set to include an accessible play park with a play trail.

Natalie Perry, Sales and Marketing Director for David Wilson Kent, commented: “The idea of living close to the coast is something quite a lot of people dream about, and it has been proven by scientists that it can have a positive impact on your mental and physical wellbeing! Sholden offers the perfect balance of coastal charm and modern convenience. Those looking to buy in Sholden will find a very close-knit community with a wide range of opportunities, especially for families due to its convenient location close to the coast. Choosing the right home for you is so important, as it’s not just a place to live it is the place you are going to build a future in, so I would always recommend having a list of factors whether its location, size or community.

“The team is looking forward to seeing how our investments into the local community flourish and are excited to work with several community groups across Sholden and Deal over the next few years!”

Sholden Meadows is just a short walk from the local primary school, as well as the village pub and nearby cricket and hockey clubs. For travel further afield, the development offers excellent connectivity with Deal, Sandwich and Folkestone, all easily accessible by car or train, including train links to London St Pancras from Deal railway station. Its convenient location near the A2 also allows residents to reach both Dover and Canterbury in under an hour.

Currently available at Sholden Meadows is a selection of three-and four-bedroom homes ready to be reserved with prices starting from £323,995.

David Wilson Homes will be hosting a ‘Spring Incentive Weekend’ on the 29th and 30th March, offering buyers support with their move and the schemes available.
