St John’s Court, Medway

Eutopia, in partnership with Chenavari Investment Managers, is pleased to announce the unconditional acquisition of a 5.8-acre former school site in the Medway Towns.

Following acquisition, a detailed planning application was developed, submitted, and successfully approved for the comprehensive redevelopment of the site to deliver a high-quality, mixed-tenure residential scheme.

Eutopia has secured full planning consent for 139 new homes, comprising a balanced mix of 77 houses and 62 apartments designed to meet a broad range of housing needs.

• Strategic location: 5.8-acre former school site situated just 0.5 miles from Chatham town centre, and within easy reach of Chatham (0.3 miles) and Rochester (1 mile) train stations.
• Diverse housing mix: 139 homes in total — including 77 Single Family Rental (SFR) houses offering 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom layouts, alongside 62 Build to Rent (BTR) apartments across two four-storey buildings.
• Green and open spaces: The scheme features a new 1-acre landscaped area providing attractive external amenities for residents and the wider community.
• Excellent connectivity: Direct train services to London St Pancras in approximately 40 minutes and to London Victoria in around 50 minutes.
• Thriving location: Set within Kent’s historic Medway Towns, an area known for its naval heritage and ongoing regeneration, offering an increasingly attractive, affordable, and well-connected place to live within commuting distance of London.

This latest acquisition underscores Eutopia’s continued focus on delivering thoughtfully designed residential communities in areas with strong transport links, sustainable growth potential, and enduring local character.
