Asking Price Gap Reducing

Shortage Of Supply
Savills
advise that price increases have been exacerbated in areas where pent-up demand has been chasing constrained
stock levels. In the South West London sector for instance, a short supply of quality houses led to price rises

At Oaks Hamlet our homes come in all shapes and sizes catering for all from families to empty nesters leading to a happy
and vibrant community resembling that of a traditional village.
Families in particular have been attracted to Oaks Hamlet particularly because of its location adjacent to the Country
Park and nearby sports facilities and cricket pitch not to mention the Discovery School which is only a short walk away.
Oaks Hamlet has a real sense of place and is a safe environment for children with no through traffic and a road design
that encourages very low traffic speeds. Houses themselves are designed around communal areas and there are security
gates giving access to the Country Park.
The homes themselves are designed for today�s lifestyles. Large open plan spaces that can be closed off into more
intimate private areas as the need arises. At the hub of each house is a kitchen/family room as the focus of a family�s
activities. We concentrate on designing functional houses and in an Environ home you will find plenty of storage
space catering for family needs.
The scheme itself follows the design of a traditional village and the level of landscaping has to be seen to be
believed. It almost has the character of The Darling Buds of May with vegetable parterres and allotments soon to be
available within the Country Park. It feels close to nature despite being very convenient for the motorways, rail
stations and airports.
Kings Hill itself offers all the normal amenities with shopping centre, community and medical centre, David Lloyd
sports and leisure centre, championship golf course, pub, restaurants and much more. Safe pedestrian and cycle routes
link to these facilities.
Oaks Hamlet is very different.......COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF
