RESIDENTIAL DETAILS BOURNE PARK HOUSE

May we take this opportunity of thanking you for your interest in our new luxury housing project at Bourne Park House,
Bishopsbourne, Nr. Canterbury. We would like to use this letter to explain the aims of this Company with regard to
our housing scheme for the actively retired.

The object of the Company is two-fold. Firstly, to preserve for the benefit of the Nation houses and gardens of fine ,
standing, of both historical _and architectural interest: not to create shell—like museums but properly balanced living
houses playing the role in society for which they were originally built. Secondly, to offer to selected applicants a style of
gracious living which would otherwise be economically impossible to attain in England today. All food, heating, lighting,
cleaning, repairs etc. are included in the weekly service charge, a brief schedule of which is enclosed.

Bourne Park House, built in 1701 is the finest example of Queen Anne architecture in Kent, and is set in glorious
parkland. Both the house and many of the surrounding trees are the subject of a preservation order. Local facilities

include golf, horse racing, cricket, riding, fishing, etc. and in the Cathedral City of Canterbury (approximately 3 miles)
one is able to enjoy a wealth of cultural activities. The shopping facilities are also excellent.

Our intention_is.4o.conver.t-—the—property into /nineteerrluxury suites (alfwith private bathrloofns and central heatingffor

which planning permission has been obtained. It has been decided that the utmost priority should be given to
9 injecting luxury into the scheme, and comforts of a_high standard.

Residents will be expected to furnish their own private suites and to supply a small dining table for their own use in
the Dining Room. This we feel will help to achieve a personal atmosphere which is all important.

Certain rooms on the ground floor will be available at all times for the enjoyment of residents and their guests,
including two large lounges and a fine Dining Hall.

It is expected that Applicants will be in good health and of an active disposition, for although it is hoped to arrange for
limited nursing facilities to be available, we must stress that we are not intending to run the house as a Nursing Home.

The acquisition of the suites will be on a loan basis, the amount involved depending on the size of the suite. The chosen
suiteflwill then be at the resident’s disposal for as long as required subjectto the terms of the formal agreement to be
entered into prior to occupation. Those who decide to leave at any time may do so as long as six months notice is given
in writing. Directly the suite is reallocated the resident’s loan is repaid in full, less the cost of redecoration.

It is envisaged that a Committee made up of residents will be formed to advise the management on day to day running
activities, thus giving every resident a voice of opinion on the often delicate problems that arise. A garden committee
will also be set up for those who enjoy outdoor activities. The weekly service charge covers all aspects of living

within the house, the only extra charges being made for laundry and room service. Staff gratuities are not included and
the residents’ committee will decide on this policy.

If our scheme is of interest to you, would you please let us know so that we can send you an application form and
arrange for you to view the house and to discuss your personal requirements in more detail.
