Everyday convenience with countryside close by.

Sittingbourne has developed considerably in recent years, with investment bringing new leisure, food and entertainment options into the town while still keeping the countryside close at hand.

The town centre offers shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while nearby green spaces such as Milton Creek Country Park provide plenty of room to get outdoors. Venture a little further and you’ll find orchards, farmland, traditional villages and parts of the Kent Downs landscape.

Its location is another big part of the appeal. London is easily accessible by high-speed rail, while Faversham, Maidstone, Canterbury, Medway and the Isle of Sheppey are all within straightforward reach.

So, what’s it actually like to live here?
