ABOUT THE BUILDING
The communal areas of The Kell have been designed in collaboration with Fettle. The London-LA design studio is behind some of the world’s best-loved hospitality spaces, from Moncks of Dover Street to Hoxton hotels in Rome and Portland. You’ll find that same design flair in every detail of The Kell, from the bespoke joinery that frames personal parcel lockers to the pattern of terrazzo tiles underfoot.
A sun-lit sitting room on the first floor is a versatile space for residents to work, retreat or catch up over cocktails after-hours. Pull up a pew at one of the central tables and you’ll find plug sockets just where you want them, plus comfortable curved-back chairs for when you need to stay put for a few hours. A layered approach to lighting, which blends Gubi pendants, floor and table lamps, is one of our best tricks, so you’ll be just as happy settling in for a session with a good book as a laptop. In the same spirit, an eclectic mix of armchairs and sink-in sofas upholstered in mohairs and velvets have been custom designed for The Kell.
For swift refreshment there’s a handy kitchenette with bespoke heritage green cabinetry, marble worktops and a Buster and Punch tap. A picture shelf running the length of the room showcases an edit of works by some of the most exciting British artists working today, all hand-picked by our curator.
Also on this level is a vast landscaped garden overlooking the marina, with precisely placed trees and borders to screen picnic and lounging areas. For a unique perspective on the local area, the residents’ only roof terrace on the eighth floor promises panoramic views across the water and Lower Lines Park.
ABOUT THE AREA
The Kell sits at the heart of a new waterside community at Chatham Docks. This historic corner of Kent has a unique shipbuilding heritage, but beyond the warships and old military barracks is a buzzy network of connected towns, each with a distinct identity. Follow the curve of the River Medway round to Rochester with its towering cathedral, catch a match at Gillingham Football Club or practice your breaststroke at one of Britain’s oldest lidos, a short stroll from The Kell.
Runners should make swift progress towards the 250-acre Riverside Country Park or trace the cannon bastions at Great Lines Heritage Park. Across the basins, quiet St Mary’s Island offers a riverfront loop for cyclists or committed walkers.
Top transport links will deliver you to King’s Cross St Pancras and London Victoria within the hour, while the beach beckons in the other direction. Slip away for Whitstable oysters, wander historic Faversham or head to Margate for gigs at Dreamland, the Turner Gallery and a buzzing bar and restaurant scene.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is fine, nearby dockside, close shops, seems safe. Nothing special, it’s just the nicest part of the nastiest bit of Kent
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
She doesn’t listen, she’s dismissive and unhelpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not worth the insane price of rent in any way. Tenancy is sold as including all these amazing benefits, but the whole management system makes a pigs ear out of all of it.
Manager's response2Hi Jess, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to hear of your issues regarding parking and reactive maintenance. At Way of Life we pride ourselves on responsiveness and having a proactive approach, therefore, I again apologies if you feel that this hasn't been the case. I would be really eager to hear from you so I can discuss the apparent shortfalls and to pick up anything that is still potentially outstanding. You are able to reach me at jamesb@wayoflife.com Regards James

5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location & Setting - The Kell is beautifully positioned on the waterfront of Chatham Docks, which gives it a very peaceful, scenic feel. It’s lovely to have riverside walks nearby, and the surroundings feel modern but not sterile. The area is quiet and friendly, with local shops, takeaways, and an Asda very close by. Transport & Connectivity - It's fairly well-connected: there are bus routes, and although the train station is a 20-minute walk, the trade-off is the tranquility and the quality of life here.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues raised are dealt with efficiently, which really adds to the feeling that this is a well-run community.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Transport Limitation - While buses are nearby, the distance to the train station is a downside. Network Limitation - Mobile signal inside the building can be weak due to the building structure.
