The Wickets is our collection of new homes located in Penenden Heath near Maidstone in Kent. The development offers a range of two, three and four bedroom homes; ideal for families, first time buyers and commuters.
The Wickets is in an enviable location as it’s close to Maidstone town centre but also has easy access to the M20 heading north and south to Ashford. This in turn links to motorways including the M25 and M2, plus the A249 and A229 are within easy reach. Close to the development there are frequent bus services into Maidstone town centre, where you’ll find two train stations; Maidstone East and West.
Maidstone offers a range of excellent attractions, heritage sights, and stunning countryside. The picturesque River Medway meanders its way through the centre of the town, linking it with Rochester and the Thames Estuary to the north. Today the town is a cosmopolitan hub that celebrates its history whilst embracing modern living.
The local area is host to many events throughout the year including Music on the Green in Bearsted. Leeds Castle (see photo left) is perfect for family fun days and you can also enjoy the frequent concerts, open air cinema nights and fayres. A little further afield, Kent Showground hosts specialist events throughout the year. And, nearer to The Wickets, Maidstone Studios and Hazlitt Theatre are where shows such as Take Me Out and Catchphrase are held.
Maidstone has a range of shops including Fremlin Walk Shopping Centre, The Mall Maidstone, Royal Star Arcade, plus a good selection of popular high street stores. For your weekly food shop choose from Sainsbury’s, Lidl, ALDI or Tesco Express.
Surrounded by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Maidstone is perfect for getting out and about in the North Downs, enjoying the fantastic countryside or exploring quaint sleepy villages. Alternatively, you can experience high octane adventures such as watersports, go-karting or quad biking.
