Located in the charming Kent village of Hersden, nestled on the outskirts of the historic City of Canterbury surrounded by picturesque countryside. For family days out, the stunning coastal towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay are a short drive away. You can reach London in under an hour from Canterbury train station. Whether it's a first, family or forever home, this collection of new houses, with contemporary, spacious and flexible interiors, will appeal to all buyers.
An illustration, not advice: stamp duty at the rates in force today (GOV.UK), the monthly payment at the Bank of England's average quoted rate for 2-year fixes at 90% LTV, October 2026, the latest it has published.
Mortgages for this home
With a 10% deposit (£45,000) you would borrow £405,000, a 90% loan to value. 11 lenders publish 30 two-year fixed deals at that loan to value. Here are 5 of the 30, sorted by monthly payment.

Sorted by the figure you choose, and nothing else: not a recommendation. Each payment is a repayment mortgage over 30 years at the rate the lender publishes for this loan to value; after the deal, at the lender's variable rate today, which can change. The cost over the deal is its payments and the lender's stated fees, less any cashback, and the APRC is worked out the way the FCA sets for lenders. NewHomeSearch is not authorised by the FCA, does not give mortgage advice or arrange mortgages, and receives nothing from lenders. A mortgage is secured on your home. Lenders decide who they lend to and may lend less on some new homes, flats in particular: check every figure with the lender.
