After renting in Kent for several years, first time buyers Craig Norley and Charlotte Wilkinson decided it was time to buy a place of their own together.

Craig, who grew up in Snodland, said: “When we visited Bryant Homes’ Ditton development near Maidstone it ticked all the boxes for us. We fell in love with the secluded setting, close to fields and farmland. It’s so peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the town but it’s still within easy reach of London, where I work."

“When we moved in we had plenty to celebrate as we were on the property ladder at last and we were also the first residents at Ditton. I’d recommend purchasing early to anyone as it enabled us to buy at an agreed price without having to start our mortgage repayments until further down the line.”

Craig added: “We knew we wanted to buy a new build house because we wanted to avoid the heartache of falling in love with a property and then the sale falling through. We also wanted the confidence of the warranty and service attached to a new build. We love the luxury of our ensuite bathroom and we have plenty of space for our friends to come and stay too.”

Craig added: “The village of Ditton is really picturesque with a pretty church and plenty of open space to enjoy. It’s also within easy reach of Maidstone which has some great bars and restaurants, such as Pippin, and plenty of shops including Fremlin Walk shopping centre which is just off the M20.”
