Thakeham is delighted to secure its first contract with Inspired Villages Group for Phase 2 of Ledian Gardens Retirement Homes near Maidstone. Thakeham has been appointed as the build contractor for this phase. This project will deliver 47 high-quality apartments and maisonettes, with two cottages, all available for private rent. Construction begun in March 2023. The scheme is designated as retirement housing. 

The development will feature energy-efficient heating systems and sustainable construction methods. Most notably, heating will be provided by way of ground source heat pumps. These are to be installed at a depth of 250 meters. 

This is our first project with IVG, but we look forward to delivering a successful first project and working with IVG on other schemes in due course.
