Luxury development of new Surreyborder
homes snapped up within a
matter of weeks
A
luxury
development of new homes in a soughtafter
Surrey border village has welcomed its first
residents – after the majority of available properties
were snapped up in just a matter of weeks.
Clayshaw Place, a collection of two, three and four bedroom
homes in Rudgwick was released for sale at the beginning
of October and out of the 15 homes available to buy, 12
had been reserved by purchasers by mid-November.
Selling agent Roger Coupe said Clayshaw Place is the
most successful new home scheme he has worked
on in recent years, with more than 40 viewings
arranged over the opening weekend alone.
Progress moved so quickly that contracts were
exchanged on a number of properties by the middle
of November and the first residents were due to
move into their new homes before Christmas.
Roger Coupe, who specialises in land and new home
sales, puts Clayshaw Place’s popularity down to the
quality of specification and thoughtful design of the
properties, by locally based developers Thakeham, and
without question the desirability of the location.
Roger said: “Rudgwick has always been a popular address
with homebuyers as it is an attractive village to live in
with local services including a doctors’ surgery, dentist,
hairdresser and chemist. There is also a Cooperative Food
Store incorporating a Post Office counter. There are good
schools and great travel links for Horsham and Guildford.
“Billingshurst based developer Thakeham has made an enormous
effort to be a responsible neighbour to the adjoining properties
and during the course of construction has kept the site and
access routes smart and clean. This considerate approach
has followed through in the method of construction of the
properties, along with the architecture of the homes blending
with the local area, and homebuyers can clearly see this in
the quality of the build. And I think, in part, that this has only
added to the success of the sales at the development.”
Construction on the site, located just off Church Street, began
in spring 2016 and is expected to be completed by early
April. A total of 25 properties are being built, 10 of which are
affordable homes including shared ownership and rental. A
landscaped area with ponds, trees and a footpath into the village
centre is also being created as part of the new development.
Buyers from across Sussex and Surrey have been
attracted to the site, Roger said, with the majority of
enquiries from within a twenty-five mile radius including
some from the residents of the village itself.
“We’ve seen first time buyers using the popular Government’s
Help-to-Buy scheme, through to those who are moving
across the market or even downsizing,” he added.
Homes at Clayshaw Place range from £395,000 to £950,000. Showhome is open from Thursday to Monday
10am to 5pm. For more information call 01403 823495 or visit www.clayshawplace.com
