| Island Living |
Inspired design is evident everywhere on St. Mary’s Island, where the environment, the community and the new homes have all been carefully planned to make this a most attractive place to live. Sustainable CommunitySt. Mary’s Island is a sustainable community, where everything you need is within easy reach including shops, doctors’ surgery, a community centre, homes and a school. Approximately 20 acres of open space are incorporated into the design of St. Mary’s Island, linked by footpaths and cyclepaths. Chatham Maritime benefits from a site security service which keeps an eye on the open space and the Chatham Maritime Trust’s other assets. ActivitiesIf boating is your passion, there’s a 300 berth, award-winning marina on your doorstep. The Dockside Outlet Centre is located nearby and features 80 shops and restaurants. Elsewhere at Chatham Maritime there is a Learning Resource Centre, a pub, a multiplex cinema, a community store and a thriving University Campus. Charles Dickens, one of England’s best loved authors, spent most of his childhood in Chatham, where his father worked in the Naval Dockyard. The newly opened ‘Dickens World’ takes visitors on a fascinating journey through Dickensian England. Modern DesignThe Fishing Village is an award-winning part of St. Mary’s Island and an important element in its overall design. The architecture and colour palette is inspired by the old Kentish fishermen’s lofts of the past, but the new homes here have the strong green credentials of the future. Malin House is an integral part of The Fishing Village, with a fine range of spacious, light-filled apartments that make the most of their superb riverside location. Each apartment has elegant lines and generously proportioned rooms with a stunning specification throughout. Most of the apartments have balconies, with extensive feature glazing to help bring the outside in. You can watch the boats on the river, check out the stars in the night sky and feel at one with your environment. The immediate impact of these inspirational apartments will be apparent the moment you walk in, but it is the things you can’t see that make all the difference. The sustainable materials used in the construction process, the high levels of insulation for energy efficiency and the water saving features all help to give you a truly balanced lifestyle in a community you can really call home. |
