Communal Features
Life at Hartdene Barns transcends the ordinary — it is an invitation to embrace an extraordinary rural lifestyle within a vibrant and exclusive community. Residents enjoy privileged access to 36.625 acres of stunning, pristine Kent countryside, where wildflower meadows bloom, expansive green spaces invite relaxation, and tranquil walking paths meander gracefully through the natural landscape.

Enhancing this unparalleled setting are the private luxury allotments, expertly managed by our esteemed partners at Roots Allotments — champions of sustainable, chemical-free organic growing. These thoughtfully maintained allotments are available to residents at no running cost until June 2027*, providing a seamless opportunity to cultivate fresh, seasonal produce and foster a deeper, more meaningful connection with the land and community. Hartdene isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to breathe.

* From The Sunday Times April 2025

"We wanted to create a clear distinction between gardens, designed for relaxation and entertainment, and allotments, which can provide a regular source of organic fruit and vegetables”, says Michael Wynne, the co-founder of Q New Homes. “Residents can choose to get involved as much or as little as they like, or simply receive produce tailored to their preference, delivered right to their door. The idea is that the allotments should be a joy to use, never a burden. They may even find that it helps to build relationships with neighbours and promote a more active lifestyle”
