A novel place to live

The apartments are adjacent to Dartford Grammar School for Girls and the development has been named after poet and novelist Thomas Hardy to reflect his association with the site. Before becoming famous for penning classic novels including Far From The Madding Crowd and Tess Of The d’Ubervilles, Hardy was an assistant architect who helped to design the grammar school in 1864. Situated off Heath Lane, the one and two bedroom apartments form part of a traditionally styled collection of new homes with excellent amenities, transport links and good schools close by.

Not far from the madding crowd

Hardy’s Gate is perfectly placed within a mile of Dartford town centre which boasts two shopping centres and a bustling High Street. However, if you want even more choice, head to Bluewater – one of Europe’s largest retail and leisure destinations which is home to 330 stores as well as a cinema and eateries offering a wide range of cuisine from around the world. For daily essentials Dartford is home to a number of supermarkets and for fresh produce and a variety of other wares, the twice-weekly market is well worth a visit.

Great connections

Hardy’s Gate is within easy reach of Dartford station, where commuters will benefit from frequent services to London’s Charing Cross (for theWest End) and Cannon Street (for the City of London) as well as services to the Kent coast.

For international connections, Ebbsfleet International offers the fasted transport from the UK to Europe on Eurostar trains that can sprint you to the continent in an hour and 15 minutes and there is a fast service to London St Pancras which will get you to your destination in just 17 minutes. Drivers are perfectly positioned for the A2, M2 and M25, and the QE2 Bridge spanning the River Thames opens up the doorway to motorway networks to the north and east of the country.

A place to grow

For families, this stunning new development also benefits from being within the catchment area of some of Dartford’s best primary, secondary and grammar schools.

Top class entertainment

If you prefer an evening of entertainment, rather than frequenting the many bars and restaurants in and around Dartford itself, The Orchard Theatre is close to Hardy’s Gate and offers a host of music, comedy and theatre, whilst the Mick Jagger Centre also provides live entertainment as well as music and drama courses.

Lively leisure time

Hardy’s Gate borders school playing fields to one side, offering views of open space, whilst Dartford Heath, Dartford Park and the greenery of Dartford Golf Course are also on your doorstep. You can enjoy a Sunday stroll through local parkland, cycle around the heath or visit the local leisure facilities at the LivingWell Health Club in Dartford. If a spot of pampering is required you can relax in the tranquil surroundings of Rowhill Grange Utopia Spa. And for those who crave something a little more energetic, there is a David Lloyd gym nearby. So if you are looking for a base or a place for your family to grow, it’s time to make a date to view your new home at Hardy’s Gate.
