The Marina, Gravesend - stunning apartments close to the water’s edge
Just 25 miles from the City, the market town of Gravesend, on the south bank of the River Thames, is the superb location for Bellway’s new development of one and two bedroom apartments at The Marina.
This important and growing North Kent town has a history that stretches back to Roman times, and the Farmers’ Market every Friday is a reminder of its rural origins, as is the unspoilt countryside outside the town, some of which is designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
But, above all, Gravesend is a maritime town, and its relationship with the River Thames, as a resort, a port and latterly as a passenger-ferry terminal, has brought with it prosperity. At The Marina you are ideally situated to take advantage of all that this vibrant place has to offer; its central location in Canal Road means that you are literally no more than a few minutes from the town centre, the surrounding countryside and, of course, the River Thames.
The historic High Street is Gravesend’s focal point and much of central Gravesend is a pleasant traffic-free pedestrianised environment. Two shopping centres – The St George’s and The Anglesea - make Gravesend one of the very best shopping experiences around. The town boasts over 250 retail outlets, from specialist local boutiques to the large national department stores and supermarkets, and a covered market is held six days a week. And, of course, at The Marina you’re just a few minutes drive from Bluewater, Europe’s largest retail centre.
Busy restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs are plentiful, and give the town a cosmopolitan feel and urban buzz, and the cinema, clubs and pubs mean that there’s no shortage of things to do in the evenings. For the health conscious The Cascades and The Cygnets leisure centres provide a wide range of sports facilities, and the local area is rich in parkland and open spaces for relaxing weekend walks.
Gravesend is set to benefit from the new Channel rail link station at nearby Ebbsfleet, due to open in 2007, which will make travel to the Continent as easy as a trip to London. Gravesend Station is less than a mile from The Marina and offers direct services into London Bridge with a journey time of about 50 minutes and the Dartford crossing is Just 8 miles from the town providing easy access to the M25. Gravesend is perfectly located for international travel with City Airport just over an hours drive away, Ashford International Station just a 50 minute drive and the Channel Ports of Dover and Folkestone approximately 55 and 45 miles away respectively.
