Show more "Chamberlain Manor is a modern Extra Care scheme enjoying a peaceful yet convenient location, just a short distance from the centre of the popular town of Ashford. There is plenty for residents to do in the area, with a multi-screen cinema, large garden centre, retail park and the Stour Centre all in easy reach.

Chamberlain Manor is a modern development with a range of on-site facilities including a communal lounge, restaurant, laundry, hair salon, guest room, lifts and large Car park. The court has landscaped and child-friendly gardens, which are ideal for social activities during the summer months. Residents can help to tend the gardens if they wish.

Buses run every 20 minutes from a stop near the court and will take you into Ashford town centre. The town also has an international train station, less than two miles away, which offers connections to towns and cities further afield. There are many local taxis firms operating within the area, and a volunteer car service is available for residents to use. For drivers, junction 9 of the M20 motorway is within easy reach. The lively town holds a market twice a week and there are several large supermarkets in the local area." Show less
