Natural Splendour
Designated as a conservation area, Keston Park has always sought to preserve and enrich the nature in which it sits. Its connection to nature is easily felt: spacious landscaped gardens, quiet roads and tree-lined verges abound with light and shade, the sounds of birdsong and glimpses of the local wildlife. Residents can walk among 40 acres of private woods, Lake Wood and Ninhams Wood, which contain mature and protected trees and are home to a plethora of wildlife from deer and badgers to the protected greater crested newt! The woods are dotted with lakes which offer picturesque views to be enjoyed throughout the changing seasons.
UNIQUELY PLACED GATEWAY
There is a range of nearby nature reserves from ancient woodland, to heathland and chalk grassland. The incredible local biodiversity attracted Charles Darwin who wrote his On the Origin of Species while living in Down House nearby.
The estate is a uniquely placed gateway to the diversely beautiful countryside of both Kent and Surrey. From the Surrey Hills down to the White Cliffs of Dover, their interiors offer pastoral vistas, wooded valleys, atmospheric marshlands, historic cathedrals and castles, quaint villages and feet-by-the-fire pubs.

Care
Mindful of its rich heritage, Keston Park still adheres to the original covenants set out during its conception in the 1920s. They aim to safeguard the Park against over-development and to preserve its principles of green, open space. The Park Management committee are in charge of upholding these covenants. It ensures that all developments are fully approved, employ the highest standards of design and use high quality materials of local character; that construction and landscaping cause minimal disturbance to the land and complement their surroundings. The Estate Management Committee is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the estate, refurbishing and improving footbaths, gates, lights, street signs and roads in accordance with residents’ needs.
SECURITY
Keston Park is recognised as one of the most secure private residential estates in the UK with a discreet but extremely effective private security system in place. The Park is protected by manned guarding and CCTV cameras, which are monitored 24/7 via the control centre of a local security firm. The Management Committee is constantly reviewing security measures ensure residents’ interests are properly safeguarded.
