Custom Build Plots at Chartway Street, Sutton Valence

This exceptional site will deliver nine bespoke, custom build dwellings in the historic village of Sutton Valence. Buyers will work with leading local architects, JPD Architecture, to design their dream home and then have it built for a fixed, turnkey price.

The site will deliver a mix of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes, all of which include the option for a garage or oak-framed car barn.

Custom build presents the ultimate house buying experience without the potential headaches, planning risk, contractor problems and financial uncertainty of running a self build. A full project team is in place to assist buyers throughout the custom build journey, from reserving a plot to moving into their new home. Buyers have the option to either be fully involved in all buying decisions or to agree a general design style and be more hands off.

Prior to purchasing a plot, the main contractor provides a fixed price, JCT build contract. During construction payments are overseen by an independent Contract Administrator, appointed by the plot buyer. Unless timber frame construction is selected, all payments during the build are paid monthly in arrears for work that has been carried out or for materials that have been delivered to the site.

The materials palette provides a wide range of external materials to use in the design process. Options include a choice of bricks, local stone, timber cladding plus for the roofs either slate or traditional clay tiles.

In addition to delivering a truly bespoke home, custom build is also an excellent financial option with stamp duty only payable on the plot purchase.

In addition to visiting the site, prospective plot buyers can also book a visit to our latest custom build project in Tunbridge Wells where they can view 6 completed houses all built by the same main contractor.

Chartway Street is a custom build site where buyers will benefit from full support in the design and construction of their home.

Externally the homes will be individually designed within the parameters set out on the Design Guide approved by Maidstone Borough Council. Internally buyers have complete control over the layout and specification of their home.
