The design of the scheme offers the security of a private residential community but extra safeguards are provided, the major one being CCTV surveillance which monitors all visitors to Stonegate Place. In addition, the managers office is centrally located off the main square, again to monitor all visitors. All the properties have burglar alarm with infa red detectors, as well as an electronic personal emergency alarm system. The emergency alarm system is activated by a small button operated transmitter or via an intercom in the hallway linked both to the managers office and to the central control. Both the burglar alarm and the personal alarm systems are linked to this control. All windows have a single movement espagnolette locking system and external doors are fitted with high security dead bolts.
Another feature of Stonegate is the clubhouse which is available to both residents and their friends. Additionally, a guest suite is provided at a nominal charge for short visits by family and friends. Conveniently located as part of the clubhouse/mangers house complex, it is designed as family accommodation and includes a kitchenette and shower room.
Location Stonegate, situated off Bridge Street in the centre of the village, provides an ideal opportunity for a "country lifestyle" but wanting the convenience of facilities that can only be offered by a village environment with a thriving community. The local services provided include a newsagent, baker, florist, chemist, Co-op, post office, butcher as well as a village garage. Other services include two banks, an osteopath, dentist and medical centre. Wye is an active and friendly community and many leisure activities centre around the village halls. The village has a football pitch, hard tennis courts and cricket club. Importantly, there are three public houses within the village and a choice of restaurants. Public transport is also on hand with buses passing through the village. The local railway station provides regular services through to Ashford, Canterbury and beyond.
