St David's Park, Herne Bay: A Specific Development Review

Development Overview

St David’s Park is a new build homes development by Redrow Homes, situated off Thanet Way, Eddington, Herne Bay, Kent (CT6 7PG). The site is positioned near open countryside while maintaining immediate access to key transport links and coastal amenities. Redrow Homes generally holds a reputation for constructing new homes with strong aesthetic appeal and character, particularly within their Heritage Collection designs. However, prospective buyers should be aware that, like with any volume builder, customer reviews sometimes cite challenges with post-completion snagging and customer care, suggesting the importance of thorough independent checks. The development currently offers 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom detached houses for sale.

Typical layouts feature open-plan kitchen/dining/living areas, separate lounges, and in many cases, en-suite bathrooms, with some 3-bedroom units listing up to 4 bathrooms total, and 4-bedroom homes including a family bathroom. Garages (single or detached, depending on the house type) are also included.
