Affordable homeownership in the commuter town of Horley, Surrey
Thames Valley Housing has launched Life Horley, a development of 18 two-bedroom affordable homes located in the popular commuter town of Horley in Surrey. With their own private outdoor space, these family-friendly homes have open countryside just beyond the development with the market town of Horley within easy reach.
Homes at Life Horley are available through Shared Ownership, the government initiative, which aims to help people purchase their own home. Prices at Life Horley start from £74,000 for a 40% share in a £185,000 apartment.
The homes have a neutral décor and high quality fittings. The separate kitchens are fully fitted and include an integrated fridge freezer and washer dryer, with ceramic tile floors and stainless steel splash-backs. Each home at Life Horley offers either a private garden with shed or gated communal garden space with private balconies or patios. Residents are also offered allocated private parking spaces. The homes at Life Horley also have a sustainable element, with rooftop photovoltaic panels which assist with electricity costs.
The nearby market town of Horley offers a wealth of retail experiences from the traditional weekend markets to larger supermarkets such as Waitrose and Tesco. A new leisure centre offers the local community a 25m swimming pool, gym and dance studios. There are also local sports clubs for bowling, cricket, hockey, lawn tennis, football and rugby, offering an opportunity to socialise within the community whilst staying fit.
Horley is popular with commuters, due to fast train links to London Bridge and Victoria, with train times as quick as 35 minutes. Gatwick Airport is less than four miles away, for easy international travel as well as providing career opportunities. Life Horley is just a mile and a half from the town centre and the train station, making it a practical location for those who need to commute daily but wish to live in a greener location.
Being part of The Weald, an area of outstanding beauty, this commuter spot offers a wealth of opportunities to explore nature whilst being so close to the centre of town. Activities include cycling and walking around the River Mole. Residents can head slightly further afield and experience a seaside day out at Brighton, just 31 miles away.
Kush Rawal, Assistant Director (Sales & Marketing) at Thames Valley Housing comments: “Life Horley offers homes in a small residential community for those who want to be close to both town and country. There are great local job opportunities for those moving into the area as well as a commute of under 40 minutes by train for those who work in London. With private or secure communal gardens, Life Horley would be a safe and fun place to bring up or start a young family.”
“Life Horley offers great value for money, with prices as low as £74,000, buyers can get on the property ladder and into a home built to last, with sustainable features, high quality fittings and a strong community atmosphere.”
