Over half of London’s postcodes top the list for the highest average property premium when it comes to buying a home in a location close to schools rated ‘Outstanding’ by OFSTED[1]. For parents looking to secure their child’s place in a meritable school without paying the high price premium that comes with buying in the city, Millwood Designer Homes has a selection of family-friendly developments in the commuter belt, ideally located for an abundance of excellent school options for children of all ages.
Covering the home counties of Sussex, Surrey and Kent, the exceptional selection of homes at Heatherlands in Heathfield, Bakers Field in Cliffsend, Cherry Tree Lane in Ewhurst and Heartenoak Meadows in Hawkhurst require no compromise when it comes to buying an outstanding, affordable new home in close proximity to high-performing schools, providing the very best education options for every child.
Situated in the quiet countryside locations of Heathfield, Cliffsend, Ewhurst and Hawkhurst, families will be spoilt for education choice, as well as enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle compared to inner-city living.
