Identity

avante has been designed to create a new and vibrant place to live. A modern mix of materials, crisp white render and warm timber cladding, produce a powerful visual identity to the dynamic architecture exteriors. A distinctive style. Glazing is minimised in the bedrooms to reduce heat loss and maximised in the living areas to let the light flood in. Generous amounts of daylight will be achieved in all properties and will be delivered to the heart of the home by a central lantern roof light. This unique feature will also provide natural ventilation and improve solar gain without compromising security.
This innovative architectural detailing has been continued throughout the interior of the homes where you will experience spacious room sizes, sleek kitchens and bathrooms and high quality internal finishes. Designed with your modern lifestyle in mind.

Innovation

Genuine advances in homebuilding don't come along very often. It's even more unusual to find them in a countryside location. But then, why should the cities get all the new ideas?
avante really is innovative. Uncompromisingly contemporary. Meeting customer demands for value, comfort, quality. And making use of pioneering technologies to ensure the homes exceed the highest standards of eco excellence, energy efficient and sustainable living.
Designed by Crest Nicholson, these homes look superb too. There's a choice of 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3 & 4 bedroom houses, all with clean modern lines, flexible interior spaces, smart contemporary specification and unique eco-friendly innovations.

Eco Excellence

You want a comfortable living environment, warm or cool as the season demands. You want to keep your energy bills low. And, if possible, keep your 'environment footprint' to the minimum.
At avante it's easy to keep to these ideals, because they're designed-in. Each home has been rated as 'Very Good' or 'Excellent' by the EcoHomes independent system of rating for domestic properties. The aim is to balance environmental performance with a high quality, safe and healthy internal living environment.
We've achieved this at avante by paying close attention to construction, design and interior space. These homes not only reduce energy consumption and environmental impact but are great to live in too. Bright, spacious, adaptable: live in your home just the way you want.
A few examples of these design features include, low energy lighting in areas of the properties that will endure high usage and this will help to reduce the electricity consumption. A whole-house ventilation system with heat recovery is also included. This system provides a constant background flow of fresh tempered air to the home and extracts condensation. The result: lower humidity and a healthier living environment.

Community

avante is planned to be a sustainable, attractive addition to the village of Coxheath. The wide range of properties means that all kinds of buyers will feel at home. With green areas, amenity and play spaces, it's going to be a unique place to live as well as eco-friendly.
Coxheath is a small village approximately 4 miles south of Maidstone. As a longestablished community it has its own shops and pubs, healthcare facilities, church and library. Theres also a primary school in the village and a secondary school is within a mile at Boughton Monchelsea.
The surroundings are gloriously rural, with views of the North Downs, hedgerows and orchards. Surrounding this sought after neighbourhood there are spectacular beauty spots such as the Loose Valley and Leeds Castle.
Maidstone is your destination for shopping, leisure and travel. It has lots of history but also plenty of modern amenities. Shoppers are spoilt for choice, with three new shopping centres and plenty of small unique outlets in these historic streets. Meet friends in one of Maidstone's wine bars or restaurants, stroll in the 450 acres of Mote Park, take a river boat trip, play golf at Cobtree Manor Park, or get fit at the Leisure Centre. Maidstones theatre is The Hazlitt, and theres a new 8-screen Odeon. And children will love attractions like Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway or the Hop Farm Country Park in Paddock Wood. There's something for everyone.

Vision

This is a development with a difference:
in fact, with lots of differences. In addition to landmark modern architecture and EcoHomes ratings, avante incorporates a village green and Home Zones, where play areas and road use are safely combined. It also has a Grade II Listed chapel and historic water tower. As we said, it's very different!
