Attention First Time Buyers - Own Your Home in Maidstone with a 33% Discount via The First Homes Scheme*
Description
Connells are thrilled to partner with Maidstone Borough Council to present Heather House a major regeneration project in the Parkwood area of Maidstone. As part of the project, we are delighted to offer four 3-bedroom homes available with a 33% discount via The First Homes Scheme*.
Each home has been beautifully designed, offering both comfort and space for modern living. The thoughtfully arranged layout features a bright and airy living dining area at the rear, seamlessly opening onto the private garden, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The contemporary kitchen, positioned at the front of the property, is equipped with high-quality integrated appliances, combining style, and practicality. A convenient cloakroom is accessible from the hall, adding to the home’s functional design.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with two generously sized double bedrooms, providing ample room for relaxation and comfort. A well-proportioned third offers flexibility and can be used as another bedroom or home office. Completing the first floor is a stylishly presented family bathroom, designed with modern fittings and a high-quality finish.
Outside, each home boasts a generously sized garden, beautifully laid to lawn and complete with a handy shed for additional storage. Two allocated parking spaces provide convenience, ensuring easy access for homeowners and guests alike. For added peace of mind, every home comes with a 10-year build warranty, offering security and confidence in the craftsmanship of these new homes.
Location
Parkwood offers the perfect balance of convenience and charm, located just a 10-minute drive from Maidstone town centre, where you’ll find a wide range of shops and restaurants. Excellent transport links are within easy reach, with three nearby train stations providing direct connections to London – ideal for commuters. For a more picturesque setting, the charming village of Bearstead is just a short distance away, boasting renowned schools and boutique shops.

The regeneration forms part of the redevelopment of the Heather House and Pavilion Building site. This exciting project is set to regenerate the sites adjacent to Parkwood, bringing a new sense of place to the heart of the community. As well as affordable housing, the centre piece will be the brand-new The Heathers Community Centre, complete with parking and meet the needs of residents.

The ‘estimated total monthly cost’ for a Shared Ownership property consists of three separate elements added together: rent, service charge and mortgage.
- Rent: This is charged on the share you do not own and is usually payable to a housing association (rent is not generally payable on shared equity schemes).
- Service Charge: Covers maintenance and repairs for communal areas within your development.
- Mortgage: Share to Buy use a database of mortgage rates to work out the rate likely to be available for the deposit amount shown, and then generate an estimated monthly plan on a 25 year capital repayment basis.
NB: This mortgage estimate is not confirmation that you can obtain a mortgage and you will need to satisfy the requirements of the relevant mortgage lender. This is not a guarantee that in practice you would be able to apply for such a rate, nor is this a recommendation that the rate used would be the best product for you.
