About Larchwood
Larchwood is a new build homes development by Redrow Homes, located on Cockering Road in Canterbury, Kent, CT1 3UR. Situated approximately one mile from Canterbury city centre, the development is planned to offer a range of properties from Redrow’s Heritage Collection, known for its Arts & Crafts architectural style, featuring traditional exteriors combined with modern, open-plan interiors. Specific property details regarding current availability, starting prices, and bedroom counts for Larchwood are to be confirmed and interested parties should contact the developer directly for the latest release information.
However, Redrow’s wider offerings in the Canterbury area typically encompass a mix of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom house types, including detached, semi-detached, and terraced configurations. For reference, new build houses on Redrow’s nearby developments commence from approximately £409,000 for three and four-bedroom properties, providing a contextual pricing indicator for this market. The homes at Larchwood will draw from the Redrow Heritage Collection, which is designed to integrate key features for modern living. While specific models and floor plans for this site are awaiting release, typical house designs in this collection include spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/living areas, dedicated utility rooms, and separate lounges. The houses are constructed with a 'Fabric First' approach to energy efficiency, incorporating advanced insulation and efficient heating systems, which Redrow suggests can result in significant annual savings on energy bills compared to older properties. Buyers who register their interest will be given the opportunity to utilise the 'My Redrow' platform to choose internal specifications and finishing touches where build stage permits, personalising the home before completion. Larchwood is positioned to benefit from Canterbury's extensive transport infrastructure. The development offers easy vehicular access to the M2 motorway for regional travel. For commuters, the site is a short drive from both Canterbury East and Canterbury West train stations. The high-speed rail service from Canterbury West provides a journey time into London St Pancras International in just over an hour. Local public transport is served by Stagecoach bus routes 1, 1A, and 24, with stops located on Cockering Road, providing a direct connection to the city centre. Local amenities are comprehensive, with Canterbury's historic centre approximately a mile away, offering a wide selection of national retailers, independent shops, and restaurants. Notable cultural attractions include Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Marlowe Theatre. Local schooling options include the well-regarded Simon Langton Grammar School and The Westgate School for secondary education, alongside primary and specialist provisions such as St Nicholas School and The Orchard School. For leisure, the coastal resorts of Herne Bay and Whitstable are situated approximately 10 miles to the north.
