Why Staplehurst new builds briefs are different
We design Staplehurst new builds with traditional pitched-roof massing and brick/tile-hung elevations that suit the commuter-belt character — that's what Maidstone planners react well to.
Staplehurst is heavily commuter-shaped: Edwardian semis around the station, 1930s detacheds along the Maidstone Road, and large 2010s estates at Henhurst and Lodge Road.
Local considerations
Maidstone Borough Council planners process most Staplehurst applications quickly, but the station area lies in a conservation area with strict frontage rules.
Lower greensand under most of the village gives generally good bearing, but the high water table near Hawkenbury Brook means basement projects are unusually involved.
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 Staplehurst 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 4-bedroom new build on a Staplehurst infill plot in 2023, finished in red brick with tile-hung first floor and clay tile roof.
