Persimmon at Aylesham Village

Development Overview

Persimmon at Aylesham Village is a major new build development by Persimmon Homes, situated on Central Boulevard, Aylesham, Kent, CT3 3NB. The new community is part of the larger Aylesham Garden Village regeneration, positioned conveniently between the historic cathedral city of Canterbury and the port town of Dover. The development comprises a mix of energy-efficient properties, primarily featuring two and three-bedroom houses, along with one-bedroom apartments and larger four-bedroom house types, designed to cater to a range of buyers from first-time homeowners to growing families.

Developer Persimmon Homes holds an HBF 5-star builder status, based on the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey, indicating that more than 9 out of 10 customers would recommend the company. However, prospective buyers should be aware that broader customer reviews regarding long-term build quality and snagging resolution are varied, a common characteristic in the high-volume sector of the new-build market, suggesting that site-specific research is advisable.
