Three is the magic number when it comes to how many bedrooms purchasers want in a home. A three bedroom property is practical for families, ideal for downsizers and also young couples looking to future proof. Described as the new market ‘sweet spot,’ increased demand is outweighing limited supply as a wide range of homebuyers seek a three bed home in an amenity rich city location[1]. Potential buyers looking for a beautiful new home situated in a well-connected countryside setting, should take a look at the last remaining three bedroom properties at Millwood Designer Homes’ development The Old Orchard in Sutton Valence, Kent.

Surrounded by the stunning Weald of Kent landscape and located in the quintessential village of Sutton Valence, The Old Orchard is a collection of three, four and five bedroom homes, where only two homes remain. The three bedroom properties are surrounded by tranquil countryside and offer an enviable location, just five miles south of Kent’s County Town of Maidstone.

Philip Brown, Sales Director at Millwood Designer Homes comments: “The demand for three-bedroom properties has significantly increased over the past couple of years, due to their popularity with a wide range of buyers. The first homes at The Old Orchard have been snapped up by families, looking for high quality homes in an excellent location. With just two three bedroom homes remaining, we would encourage house-hunters to get in touch as soon as possible, to avoid missing out.”
