Historic retirement living in the heart of Kent
Ledian Gardens Retirement Village in Maidstone, Kent
Welcome to Ledian Gardens retirement village, where peaceful countryside retreat meets modern retirement homes in Maidstone. Nestled to the east of Maidstone in the heart of Kent, this extraordinary community is surrounded by heritage - the area appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 and takes its name from Ledian, who built the first wooden fortress here in 978.
At Ledian Gardens you’ll discover retirement apartments and homes designed for active, independent living, with a strong sense of community and connection. Whether you’re exploring the nearby Kent countryside, relaxing in your beautifully appointed home, or joining villagers in communal spaces, this village offers a lifestyle built for enjoyment, comfort and peace of mind.
Location
A gateway to great things...
Set in the idyllic Kent countryside, Ledian Gardens offers a rural retreat on the gateway to two of England’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Picture yourself breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the open spaces, gardens and historical architecture the area has to offer.
You’ll be living just a stone’s throw away from an abundance of fantastic shopping, culture and tradition. With the likes of Leeds Castle, Maidstone, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings only a short distance away there are plenty of new adventures to discover.
You don’t have to do everything all at once, remember - this is all in your back yard, so take your time and savour the majesty of a county that extends a warm welcome to everyone. A place you’ll love calling home.
