Local Residents Celebrate at Oakhill’s Summer Home & Lifestyle Showcase

On Saturday 13th July, residents and the Hildenborough community enjoyed a celebration at our Summer Home and Lifestyle Showcase at the village’s newest collection of homes, Oakhill. Welcoming local people from across Hildenborough and Tonbridge, over 120 guests of all ages joined Berkeley directors to officially open the brand-new show home in collaboration with Tonbridge-based design studio Neptune, and take part in a variety of exclusive activities on offer throughout the day. 

Guests in attendance enjoyed an array of activities, including face painting from Little Poppets and a nature trail around the development and neighbouring country park, before tasting the open-fire cooked BBQ canapes courtesy of BBQ Magazine. Guests also had the opportunity to try their hand at the UK’s fastest growing racket sport - padel - on the newly-opened padel court, with instruction from one of the UK’s leading padel coaches, Toby Bawden, who was on hand to offer tips.

Toby Bawden of Hexa Padel comments: “I was thrilled to be invited down to Oakhill to try out the new padel court and coach some of the local community. It was brilliant to get out onto the court with lots of new padel players and showcase the enjoyment of this fantastic sport, and how accessible it is for everyone. Hopefully we’ve inspired lots of people to take up padel today!”

The event also provided residents with the first look inside the beautiful new five bedroom show home in Oakhill Copse and luxurious Grade II listed converted apartments in Oakhill House. Designed by renowned interior design studio Neptune, the exclusively designed show home epitomises luxury featuring Berkeley’s signature high-quality specification, showcasing exactly what life could look like at Oakhill.

Ben Annetts, Sales and Marketing Director at Berkeley Homes, comments: “The Summer Showcase has been a fantastic day, filled with excitement and great community spirit. Oakhill is a vibrant new neighbourhood with so much to offer its residents, from the acres of surrounding parkland and impressive history of the site, to the beautiful local wildlife that can be spotted in the neighbouring country park, not to mention the onsite padel court which we hope will be a great asset to our residents. We’re looking forward to welcoming more new homebuyers to this flourishing community in the coming months.”
