Bearsted is an attractive Kentish village with a population of around eight. It’s situated close to the county town of Maidstone.
A little stream called the Lilk runs through the village, and two pubs and a cricket club watch over a lovely green. The old village centred around the green is very picturesque. Bearsted even has its own train station with direct lines to London.
Nearby Maidstone is the largest town in Kent, the county town adoringly known as the Garden of England due to its fame for growing fruit and hops.
Bearsted is in a blissful setting with beautiful surrounding countryside. There’s a park and two main conservation areas in the village, including many Grade II listed buildings.
Another huge draw, and a more modern one, to living in Bearsted is its proximity to London, the south-east coast of England, and the rest of Europe across the English Channel. No less than four motorways are within a few miles of Bearsted.
