Beautiful homes, attractively priced

Beautiful homes in an ideal Medway location

A location as perfect for commuters as it is for active families is

a rare gem. Samson Place in Rainham is such a find. Situated

in a leafy, established residential area just off London Road

(A2), our select development is close to essential and leisure

services in this pleasant Medway town.

Rainham mainline station is within easy reach and offers

services to both London Victoria and St Pancras International

Station in under an hour, and to Ebbsfleet (also for Eurostar) in

just over half an hour. The local destinations available from

Rainham station include Dover Priory and Ramsgate.

The A2 connects about two miles south of Rainham with the

M2 providing easy access to Canterbury and the Kent coastal

resorts, while the also convenient M20 is the major artery to

Folkestone and its Eurotunnel services. The tunnel journey

from Ebbsfleet gets you to Calais within the hour.

This is, clearly, an outstanding location for the 21st century

lifestyle, in which proximity to Continental Europe is

increasingly seen as highly desirable.

Close to home

The Rainham Mark Grammar School is within walking distance

of our development while Thames View for younger children is

also quite close. There are other schools within reasonable

distance and nearby Gillingham offers further choice.

The town centre has a useful mix of retailers, including a Tesco

supermarket and Boots together with a number of

independents including a traditional fishmonger, baker and

butcher. There is also a good choice of eating places, from

pubs to an Italian restaurant. There is a library and several GP

practices in Rainham, while the nearest NHS hospital with A&E

department is Medway Maritime in Gillingham. A twice weekly

market is held in Gillingham. (Gillingham’s supermarkets

include Sainsbury’s and Somerfield)

Not far away from Samson Place is the popular Splashes

Leisure Pool in Bloors Lane, with its wave machines and flume.

Its big new rival is the Olympics inspired £11 million centre of

sporting excellence, Medway Park in Gillingham. Opened in

2010, this has swimming pools, a gym and facilities for racquet Rainham station

sports, track and field. It is also home to the world’s largest

trampolining club. A café and bar complete the complex.

Another pride of Gillingham is the region’s premier skating rink,

Silver Blades.

For outdoor recreation, Rainham has two country parks;

Riverside, with over 100 hectares alongside the Medway

Estuary, and nearby Berengrave Nature Reserve. Both have a

wide variety of habitats and support a wealth of wildlife,

especially birds.

Rainham has its own theatre, the Oasthouse, which puts on six

performances a year ranging from murder mysteries, musicals

and classical drama to pantomime.

Worth the journey

Chatham has two theatres, The Brook and The Central, as well

as an Odeon cinema, and there is a Cineworld a few miles on,

in Rochester. Chatham is, of course, best known for its Historic

Dockyards, a major tourist attraction in Medway, an area also

rich in English Heritage properties.

The most famous local resident was Charles Dickens, and the

Dickensian Christmas held at Rochester over the first weekend

of every December features his most memorable characters.

Other popular local events include the Medway Boat Race held

every May, and July concerts held in the grounds of Rochester

Castle.

Serious fashion shoppers are spoilt for choice, as Rainham is

almost equidistant between tempting Bluewater and the

Ashford Designer Outlet, both offering big names at

discounted prices.

Abbey New Homes is a subsidiary of Abbey plc whose

principal activities are residential housing development in the

UK, Ireland and the Czech Republic.

For two generations, the sales sign in front of our Abbey New

Homes developments has become a familiar sight in the South

East of England. With many thousands of homes and satisfied

customers to our credit, we continue to offer

‘Beautiful Homes, Attractively Priced’.

As a responsible developer we endeavour to

provide information that portrays as accurate

a picture as possible of your future home

and we would like to point out the following:

Whilst every care is taken to ensure

accuracy of all published material, we

reserve the right to amend or improve the

specification, materials, floor layouts and site

plans. Any alteration will be clearly shown on a separate sales

information sheet available in the site sales office. Please note

that interior images shown in this particular brochure are

indicative only and not taken from Abbey Developments

interiors.

The landscaping shown on the site layout is indicative of a

matured development and, as with all new developments, is

subject to approval by the Local Authority. The artist has also

tried to give some indication of how extra planting could be

used to enhance the appearance of your home. As we try to

provide as much variety as possible, the configuration of

homes, garage positions, brick colours, windows, external

treatments and levels can vary from plot to plot. We can

therefore only give typical illustrations.

Thank you for visiting Samson Place. If you require any further

information please refer to the site sales representatives who

will be happy to help you choose a house of which to be

proud.
