Homes in Dartford sell quicker than any other place in the UK, according to property portal RightMove[1], and with fast and frequent rail services into London, it is easy to see why the town is becoming a magnet for those escaping the capital. Bellway Homes has seen great demand on several schemes around Dartford previously, with speedy sales times in-line with the research. This September the national housebuilder is launching Oakes Park, a brand new development in the popular Kentish town.

Oakes Park is a contemporary development of brand new two and three bedroom homes, ideal for young families and professionals working in the capital looking to benefit from the connections the town boasts.

Emma Denton, Head of Sales at Bellway Homes Thames Gateway, comments: “As more Londoners leave the capital in the search for better value, areas with great transport connections are set firmly in their sights. Dartford is a prime example, where the homes are being snapped up quickly, thanks to the area's superb transport links. Furthermore, the wide variety of local amenities and good schooling options make the suburb the ideal place for a family to call home. We would advise anyone interested in the new homes to register now, to be amongst the first to receive news of the launch this September."  

The homes at Oakes Park will comprise a mix of terraced and semi-detached houses, all boasting a high specification with open-plan living spaces. Kitchens come with a selection of integrated appliances, and all rooms will be finished with top quality fixtures and fittings, including contemporary bathrooms suites.

Popular with families, Dartford is home to a great selection of well-regarded schools, including Dartford Primary Academy and Our Lady's Catholic Primary School for younger pupils, and The Leigh Academy and Dartford Grammar Schools for older students.

Within half a mile of Oakes Park, there are several supermarkets, making the weekly shop a breeze, while a more extensive range of retail options can be found in central Dartford, including a bustling high street and two shopping malls, The Priory Centre and The Orchards. Additionally, Bluewater is just a 20 minute drive from home and boasts over 300 stores and more than 60 eateries, as well as 13-screen cinema and exhibition centre.

The area surrounding the development offers an abundance of open space which is ideal for more leisurely pursuits. Central Park is a five minute drive away, offering facilities including a children's playground, skate park, and football pitches, as well as formal gardens and walking trails to explore. Darenth Country Park is two miles away, while Dartford Heath, an area of outstanding natural beauty, is around three miles away.

Residents at Oakes Park are ideally placed for travel connections, with Dartford station just under half a mile from home, boasting direct rail services into London Bridge, Cannon Street, Victoria and Charing Cross. Nearby Ebbsfleet International offers direct high speed trains into Stratford International and St Pancras International in under 20 minutes, and services to the continent, with destinations including Paris and Brussels. Major roads such as the A2 and A206, both with access to the M25, are easily accessible.
