Environ Communities Environ Communities is an award-winning company that specialises in producing homes for discerning buyers. Environ understands how important it is to respect traditional values such as security, variety and "sense of place". These create real communities that are a pleasure to live in. The company is very conscious of environmental issues and their importance for the future. We aim to produce schemes that respect the natural habitat and promote sustainability. A particular feature of any Environ development is the quality of the landscaping lovingly produced by Julie Johnson. The quality of her work has been endorsed by winning several outstanding awards including the What House Gold Award for 'Best Landscape Design' and 'Overall Winner' of all categories in the Greenleaf Awards. “So, it’s a rusty shovel for most volume house builders when it comes to gardens but there are one or two exceptions. A silver trowel is due to Environ Country Homes whose green finger policy is enhancing many a new home.” Show House.   In the ancient county of Kent is a landscape of rolling fields, hop gardens and orchards. Here lies an exciting new hamlet set beneath the gentle slopes of the North Downs and close to the tranquil River Medway. Oaks Hamlet is country living at its best. It is a self-contained peaceful hamlet located on the edge of the new community of Kings Hill and is bordered by a country park. Oaks Hamlet is the quintessential picture postcard of Kent having taken its inspiration from some of the prettiest villages in the Garden of England. Enter Oaks Hamlet through the gateway lodges, pause by the green and look around. The beauty of the surroundings will be self-evident with traditional village homes, country gardens and landscaped courtyards. Stroll through the quiet lanes and courtyards to the ancient woodlands with their bridleways and woodland walks - every gentle bend will reveal something new and pleasing to the eye. Oaks Hamlet is indeed an evocative picture of a traditional Kentish village - a place to wile away time and escape the pressures of work. It has been designed with homes facing onto landscaped spaces, formal courtyards or fronting narrow lanes. The road layout has only one entrance and is designed to reduce traffic speed to a minimum providing the quiet and safe environment of a ‘home zone’. Of particular note is the care that goes into the landscaping. The evident respect for nature makes this scheme different and it has the atmosphere of a miniature nature reserve designed to attract wildlife. It features bird tables, nesting boxes and quiet seating areas to watch the wildlife.  gardens All the houses, including the ground floor apartments, have front gardens specifically designed for year-round interest, easy maintenance and increasingly drought resistance. These gardens are individually designed and planted by award-winning Julie Johnson whose work is inspired by the beautiful country gardens of Gertrude Jekyll. Rear gardens have turf, structural tree planting and decking or genuine sandstone paved areas. These back gardens can also be individually designed and fully planted as part of our Options Service. Upper floor apartments have balconies overlooking the formal landscape of Manor Court and the avenue of trees framing the vista towards the Country Park.  Boundaries to rear gardens vary between plots but treatments include walling, hit and miss vertical fencing or hedging in combination with hazel-woven panels. Front boundaries vary between walling, chestnut hurdles in combination with hedging or the typical Kentish white picket fence. Front pathways are of sandstone. We wish to encourage flourishing gardens which reflect the beauty of the Garden of England so we have even remembered external taps. Communal areas are maintained by the Management Company. "Harking back to the 1950s village all the houses have access to allotments for vegetable growing as well as access to cycle trails". Country Homes and Interiors.
