Retirement Properties Spotlight in Lenham

Lenham is an attractive village surrounded by beautiful countryside and lies just half a mile south of the ancient Pilgrims Way about nine miles from Maidstone and ten miles from Ashford. The beautiful Weald of Kent, the ‘Garden of England‘ provides a wealth of places to visit and things to do in the heart of the countryside. In 1086, according to Domesday, the Weald‘s population was less than one person to the square mile. Today it is significantly higher and famous for its hop gardens ever since the Puritans insisted on adding hops to ale to make it bitter.
