Borden and Grove Park

ME10 1 / ME9 7 / ME9 8

Village feelFamily-friendly

Borden is a quiet village south of Sittingbourne with a proper village green, a primary school, and not much else. It feels distinctly separate from the town. Grove Park is the residential area closer in, with a mix of 1960s and 70s housing and some newer development. It is one of the more settled parts of Sittingbourne, popular with families who want a school catchment outside the town centre estates.
