Location:

Chilmington Green is a visionary garden community that offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience. Designed with sustainability and quality of life at its core, the neighbourhood is flourishing into a vibrant, welcoming town in its own right. With tree-lined streets, expansive green spaces, cycle paths, and a blossoming village centre taking shape, residents enjoy a thoughtfully planned environment. A growing selection of cafés, restaurants, shops, and a planned supermarket will serve day-to-day needs, while education is already a strength—with a primary school in place and a cutting-edge secondary school set to open in September 2025. A dedicated Community Management Organisation supports local events, looks after shared spaces, and helps build a connected, inclusive neighbourhood.

Just beyond Chilmington Green lies the wider town of Ashford, with its lively High Street, three major shopping centres, and a rich choice of leisure facilities. State and private schools are plentiful, and the surrounding countryside offers opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding.

The Cinque Port town of Tenterden—just 13 miles away—delivers boutique shopping and historic charm, while the seaside town of Hythe (14 miles) offers a relaxed coastal vibe. Commuters are well served by high-speed rail from Ashford International to London St Pancras in around 38 minutes, alongside excellent road links via the M20. For travel across the Channel, the Folkestone terminal and Port of Dover are both within easy reach.
