Supporting Kent
As a regional company, we are always proud to support the communities which we build in.
Clarendon cares
Local engagement is crucial to our identity; it is key to the raison d’etre of Clarendon Homes.
It's who we are
Our staff pride themselves on being part of a company which cares.
Community comes first
When building new homes in Kent, we recognise the importance of the local area and community. Aspects such as the history of the area, impact on existing residents, the environment, and local wildlife are always carefully considered throughout our process.
We will always go the extra mile to design our homes to be in keeping with the style and character of the location we build in. This helps to ensure a welcome addition of homes which will contribute to the appeal of an area – not detract from it.
