Preston Fields

Development Overview

Preston Fields is a new build development by Redrow Homes, located on Canterbury Road, Faversham, Kent, ME13 8LY. This collection of new homes is situated on the outskirts of the historic market town, blending immediate access to countryside with convenient town centre proximity. The development primarily features houses from Redrow's Heritage Collection, offering a mix of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes. Current prices range from approximately £380,000 for a 3-bedroom terraced house up to £735,000 for a 4-bedroom detached house like the Henley model.

Redrow Homes, the developer, is generally regarded as one of the better volume housebuilders in the UK, often noted for their distinctive Arts and Crafts-inspired designs.

Property Details

Available properties include the 3-bedroom Stamford Mid and Stamford End terraced/end-of-terrace styles, priced from £380,000 and £390,000 respectively, alongside larger 4-bedroom detached models such as the Stratford and Henley. A key feature across the development is the commitment to enhanced energy efficiency. All properties at Preston Fields are ‘Eco Electric,’ incorporating air source heat pumps for heating and underfloor heating as a standard inclusion on the entire ground floor. The executive-style Henley property is a spacious four-bedroom home that includes a double garage and two en-suite bathrooms, making it suitable for growing families.
