New Builds in Maidstone
Serving Maidstone & surrounding areas
New-build opportunities in Maidstone span replacement dwellings on tired bungalow plots, paddock infill on the borough fringes, and the occasional one-off plot in Loose or Boxley AONB.

New Builds for Maidstone homes
Why Maidstone new builds briefs are different
We design Maidstone new builds in two distinct registers — AONB-sensitive designs for Loose and Boxley with steep pitched roofs and traditional materials, and modern contemporary designs for plots outside the AONB.
Maidstone's stock runs from Allington and Bearsted's interwar semis to large detached homes around Loose and Boxley, plus dense Victorian terracing in the town centre.
Local considerations
Maidstone Borough Council is generally efficient, but the South East area (around Loose and Tovil) sits in an AONB with stricter design controls.
Chalk and clay alternating across the borough means an early soil report often saves significant money on foundation design — we typically commission one with our quote.
Domestic new builds run on cashflow as much as craftsmanship — we keep a fortnightly cost report so there are no surprises at any stage.
What Maidstone clients ask for
Most one-off new builds in our patch are self-builders replacing a tired bungalow plot or building in a paddock with established access.
Recent local project
We delivered a 5-bed AONB-sensitive new build at Loose in 2022, finished in red brick base, tile-hung first floor and clay peg-tile roof.

FAQs
New Builds in Maidstone — frequently asked
How long does a Maidstone new build take?
9–14 months on site.
Are AONB plots harder?
Yes — material palette and massing are tightly constrained.
Can you handle the plot purchase and planning gain?
Plot assessment and pre-application planning yes; we don't act as land agents but we work alongside local planning consultants where outline consent is needed.
Do you provide structural warranties?
Yes — Premier Guarantee or LABC Warranty 10-year cover is standard. We coordinate the inspections and snag list as part of handover.
Do 1930s Maidstone semis suit a two-storey side extension?
Very often, yes. The typical Allington and Bearsted semi has a driveway to one side and a simple roof, so a two-storey side addition with a set-back front wall usually satisfies Maidstone Borough Council.
Are you fully insured for work in Maidstone?
Yes — £5m public liability and £10m employer's liability covering all sites in Maidstone and across Kent and East Sussex. Certificates available on request.
