The taste of success as Standgrove Field launches
For those in search of a new village home and all that is good about country living with delicious local produce, farm shops and vineyards on your doorstep, home buyers will be drawn to Standgrove Field in Ardingly, West Sussex. In the agricultural heart of the county, Sussex’s passion for food is huge. Launched on Saturday 16th July, Standgrove Field is the latest luxury development from award-winning developer Millwood Designer Homes.
Perfect for foodies, Standgrove Field is conveniently sandwiched between two major food event venues. Ardingly Showground is minutes away, home to the South of England Show, Autumn Show & Game Fair and Festive Food & Drink Fair every year, showcasing fine local produce and livestock from Sussex farmers, growers and producers. Wakehurst Place managed by the Royal Botanical Gardens, is also less than three miles away; hosting the Wakehurst Wild Food Festival in July to celebrate the very best of food, drink and all things wild, from local Sussex and regional producers, as well as the Bountiful Botanics Festival in September, which celebrates harvest-time with tips on foraging and a honey harvesting demonstration.
Located in the unspoilt heart of Sussex’s High Weald, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Standgrove Field is a traditional collection of 36 semi-detached and detached houses that include three, four and five bedroom properties. All the homes have been designed and built sympathetically in keeping with the vernacular style of rural Sussex and enhanced by using local materials. Reflecting their rural aspect, the houses will benefit from larger than average gardens and residents will enjoy open views. Each property will have parking for at least two vehicles, and all come with garages.
Philip Brown, Sales Director at Millwood Designer Homes comments: “As a family owned company, we are passionate about creating homes for people and families that will improve their quality of life and not just the quality of their home. When designing modern day homes, our approach is to respect the heritage of quintessential Wealden villages like Ardingly and the idyllic rural landscape.
Philip continues: “We deliver homes that are in context with their surroundings, but inside incorporate the latest technology and innovation that today’s discerning buyer expects. Standgrove Field offers an outstanding location within a village community, excellent schools, extensive social, sporting and shopping amenities, together with first-rate road, rail and airport links, making it possible to commute into London and return to the tranquillity of the country.”
Standgrove Field has many beautiful walking routes, nature trails, cycling and riding opportunities on the doorstep. Ardingly reservoir is just two miles from the development providing water-sport activities, together with a 198 acre nature reserve with a picturesque waterside setting.
Standgrove Field is conveniently positioned for access into the vibrant towns of Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and Crawley all less than a 20 minute drive away and giving residents a superb choice of shopping facilities. Ardingly itself boasts its own post office and shop, a bakery, a café and two popular public houses, The Ardingly Inn and the award-winning Gardeners Arms. The village is also close to a number of historic houses and landscaped gardens, including Sheffield Park, Borde Hill, Nymans at Handcross and Wakehurst Place.
