Tucked between Bromley, Hayes and the Kent countryside, Keston offers a quieter, more rural feel while still being within easy reach of London. Homes here are typically detached, with large gardens and wide frontages – often set on winding lanes or generous corner plots.
We’ve worked on several homes in Keston, including a modernist-inspired new build on Fox Lane and extensions that reinterpret traditional forms in a more contemporary way. The area is well suited to bold yet respectful architectural interventions, particularly where there is scope to improve sustainability, daylight or internal flow.
Planning in Keston can sometimes involve Green Belt or ecological considerations, especially near Hayes Common or the surrounding woodland. Whether you're replacing a bungalow or extending an existing family home, it’s important to demonstrate that new works are proportionate and well considered.
Architects working in Keston often respond to a semi-rural context – balancing open views, privacy and orientation – while respecting the established character of nearby homes.
