When buying a new home, you’ll not only need to consider if the property is suitable, but also the surrounding area. This will include establishing which amenities are nearby, how good public transport links are, and, if you have children, the proximity and quality of local schools. With our Westerham Heights development underway, featuring nine new luxury family homes, we’ve selected some of the best schools situated nearby.
