A study commissioned by the nutritional brand, A.Vogel has revealed that on average adults feel stressed for five and a half years of their life.[1] Running late for work and traffic jams, were some of the reasons that people are feeling the strain for more than 15 hours a week. Home hunters seeking to reduce their stress levels need look no further than Countryside’s Kingsbridge development in Headcorn, Kent, with excellent commuting links to London and a range of amenities within walking distance.

Situated in the charming village of Headcorn, Kingsbridge residents benefit from a direct train into London from the local railway station and are served by an array of shops and services such as a bank, post office, dentists surgery, hairdressers, convenience stores, a bakers and pharmacy to name but a few.
