Leisure facilities
The Marlowe theatre and concert hall is currently being modernised, while the Odeon at St George's Place offers the latest blockbusters. All the large name supermarkets can be found in close proximity, while the Goods Shed market and food-hall is packed with fresh produce – from traditional Kentish recipes to continental chorizos, chocolate truffles and cheesecakes. Whitefriars Square also goes continental in December with its Christmas market and mulled wine, and all-year round is a hub of 80 shops from M&S to Monsoon. When it comes to dining out,
Canterbury is a place of chic café s, where you can find national chains like Strada and noodle-bar Wagamama, California style Cantina and celebrity Michael Caines restaurant and cocktail bar.
The Canterbury Lawn Tennis Club has both grass and flood-lit astro courts for competition, social tennis or the junior player, while the new Indoor Tennis Centre means you can practice all year round. Golf aficionados will find an 18-hole woodland course at the Canterbury Golf Club, part of a Kent landscape that undulates through river valleys, hills and forest, with villages so unspoilt they are used as period drama locations, the odd herd of elephants can be found at Howletts Wild Animal Park, and walks and trails amongst Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Yet you are also just a few miles and an easy drive to the coast. Whitstable’s beach and bohemian ambiance, art galleries and boutiques are just over seven miles away. Herne Bay, nine miles away, has an August Festival of family-friendly entertainment – or take to the waves on a jet-ski along the coastline with its brightly coloured beach huts, while Canterbury itself gets into the festival spirit with the October International Arts Festival.

About Bellway Homes Ltd
A REPUTATION YOU CAN RELY ON
Over 60 years of great homes and great service
When it comes to buying your new home it is reassuring to know that you are dealing with one of the most successful companies in the country, with a reputation built on designing and creating fine houses and apartments nationwide backed up with one of the industry’s best after-care services.
In 1946 John and Russell Bell, newly demobbed, joined their father John T. Bell in a small family owned housebuilding business in Newcastle upon Tyne. From the very beginning John T. Bell & Sons, as the new company was called, were determined to break the mould. In the early 1950s Kenneth Bell joined his brothers in the company and new approaches to design layout and finishes were developed. In 1963 John T. Bell & Sons became part of the public corporate scene and the name Bellway evolved.
Continuing growth
Today Bellway is one of Britain’s largest house building companies and is continuing to grow throughout the country. Since its formation, Bellway has built and sold over 100,000 homes catering for first time buyers to more seasoned home buyers and their families. The Group’s rapid growth has turned Bellway into a multi-million pound company, employing over 2,000 people directly and many more sub-contractors. From its original base in Newcastle upon Tyne the Group has expanded in to all regions of the country and is now poised for further growth.
Our homes are designed, built and marketed by local teams operating from regional offices managed and staffed by local people. This allows the company to stay close to its customers and take key decisions about design, build, materials, planning and marketing in response to local and not national demands. A simple point, but one which we believe distinguishes Bellway.
