If you hate traffic noise, or worry about the safety of pets and children, Jones Homes' Henwood Place development in Ashford could be just the spot for you.

Set in a private road off a quiet close in the Willesborough area of Ashford, Henwood Place is a peaceful residential road with no through traffic. But you're still handy for commuting, being close to Ashford International Station and Junction 10 of the M20.

Sara Stanhope, of Jones Homes, says: "We've been surprised by how far prospective home buyers are coming to view Henwood Place.

"We've had people from as far afield as Dorset and Devon who are looking for a main home or a second home with easy access to the continent that they're able to lock up and leave, as well as people from central and south London who are looking for better value for money but within easy commuting distance.

"Some of our visitors have commented that it's quicker to travel to central London from Ashford than from the outskirts of London to the centre."

The Braborne house type has a traditional Kentish weatherboarded exterior combined with contemporary interiors, including a kitchen/dining room that extends the width of the house and opens on to the rear garden.

There is a generously-proportioned living room with a feature bay window, a study, kitchen and utility room and ground floor cloakroom.

On the upper floor, there's a bathroom and four bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower.

Prices start at £299,950. For more details call the sales centre, open Thursday to Monday inclusive from 10am to 5.30pm, on 01233 629858 or visit www.jones-homes.co.uk
