Final hand over of keys at completed development in Lenham, Kent.

All homes have now been sold at Jones Homes’ Westwood Park development in Lenham.

Construction work began on the site in May 2019 and the first residents moved into their new homes in October 2020.

All but one of the homes have now been occupied, and the keys to the final property – a four-bedroom detached house – are due to be handed over to its new owner this month.

Sara Stanhope, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes Southern, said: “The handover of the final property at Westwood Park will mark the culmination of a five-year project to create an attractive collection of new homes in the desirable village of Lenham.

“Over that time, a strong sense of community has built up among residents who have decided to make Westwood Park their home. While a large proportion of our buyers have been retirees attracted by the beautiful rural location and traditional design of the homes, the development has also attracted families and young couples.”

As part of the planning agreement for Westwood Park, Jones Homes has provided over £140,000 to Kent County Council for primary school places; £60,000 towards open spaces; over £55,000 to local healthcare; £20,000 towards traffic improvements and a £10,000 contribution to local libraries.

Prior to starting work at Westwood Park, Jones Homes built 19 new homes at its neighbouring Westwood Grange development in the village.

Sara said: “We’re proud of our longstanding connection to Lenham, which goes back more than a decade to when we started construction work at Westwood Grange. The homes we have built have not only helped to meet local demand for housing but have also been carefully designed to fit seamlessly into their rural surroundings. The use of features such as timber weatherboarding has ensured that properties reflect the character of the area, which is something that residents really appreciate.

“Jones Homes Southern is committed to providing high-quality new homes across Kent and Sussex and we are continuing to seek new land for potential development opportunities across the region.”
