Why This Couple Chose Holborough Lakes in Kent for Their First Home
Holborough Lakes is a collection of houses and apartments set in acres of parkland around a series of freshwater lakes in the heart of Kent. In addition to a new school, other facilities at the development include an onsite crèche, residents' gym, village green, village hall and two trim trails leading down to the lake. There’s also a water sports and diving school which offers courses on a range of activities, including open water swimming, canoeing and scuba diving.
It’s the kind of place where community life thrives and, as one couple discovered, where life can take an unexpected and heartwarming turn. Discover how their journey unfolded and explore what makes Holborough Lakes such a special place to call home.
What Makes Holborough Lakes an Attractive Place to Live?
It was love at first sight for Keeran Beebeejaun, 28, and his fiancé, Sandy Gill, 29, after their impromptu visit to the Berkeley Homes Holborough Lakes development in Snodland, Kent. The two were on their way to a friend's birthday BBQ when they saw a sign for the newly developed community and decided to take a pit stop.
"We had been to see another development, but were not totally blown away as it lacked something we just couldn't quite put our finger on. However, the moment we saw Holborough Lakes we knew we wanted to live there."
- Keeran Beebeejaun, Berkeley Group homeowner
Holborough Lakes holds a lot of sentimental value for the couple. Fiance Sandy adds:
"Keeran and I went for a walk by the lake after our second site visit, and that is when he asked me to marry him. It was a complete surprise, but lovely that he asked me right where we have bought our first home together."

Beautiful Scenery
The happy couple settled down in the Parkside phase of family homes at the popular Holborough Lakes. Enjoying a prime location situated close to the village green, this stunning new collection of three-, four-, and five-bedroom houses is positioned between the trim trails and activity paths which lead down to the lakeside.
"We had a good look around and the setting is truly stunning there. The homes are set amongst lots of parkland and greenery set around a beautiful lake.”
- Keeran Beebeejaun, Berkeley Group homeowner Exceptional Design and Great Amenities
Once they settled in, the two looked forward to being involved in the Holborough Lakes community and taking advantage of the private residents' gym, the village hall offering exercise classes, and the sprawling village green with a trim trail.
"We were really impressed with the design of the apartment we chose; the rooms are a lovely size. It comes with so many things included in the price - all the carpets, a fully fitted kitchen with a cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer and fitted wardrobes in our bedroom. It is also so handy having a gym and M&S on our doorstep, but the fact that the apartment overlooks the lake was really the icing on the cake".

Available With Help to Buy
The couple paid £247,500 for their spacious two-bedroom apartment using the Help to Buy scheme and moved in with plenty of time to plan their wedding, which was scheduled for later that year.
Finished to a high specification, properties at Holborough Lakes were an attractive option for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers searching for excellent value for money, quality homes, and good transport links.
