Best Kent Villages to Move to in 2026
Kent has some of the best villages in the South East. Our removal team has moved families into hundreds of them. Here are the ones that consistently attract the strongest demand - and why.
Boughton Monchelsea
Perched above the Weald with views that remind you why Kent is the Garden of England. Close enough to Maidstone for practicality, far enough away for genuine countryside feel. Strong community, good primary school.
Ightham
A proper Kentish village with a medieval manor house, a pub that has been there for centuries and a sense that the 21st century arrived only recently. Popular with London commuters via Borough Green station. Property holds its value well.
Wye
The North Downs in front of you, the Stour Valley behind. Wye is small, beautiful and increasingly hard to buy into. The agricultural college gives it an active community despite its size. Ashford is 15 minutes away for mainline access to London in under an hour.
Charing
On the Pilgrims Way with a high street that feels genuinely historic. Growing demand from buyers priced out of Ashford and Maidstone. Good A20 access and a train station with services to London Victoria.
Brenchley
Deep in the High Weald, Brenchley has the kind of houses that appear in Country Life. It is not practical for everyone but if you work from home or have the flexibility, it offers something genuinely rare.
