A busy start for The Acres in Horley

David Wilson Homes has recently launched The Acres, a development of 104 three and four-bedroom homes in Horley. Five homes have already been snapped up and visitor levels to the showhome are increasing, despite the current downturn in the property market.

On Saturday 23rd May, two new showhomes will be unveiled. A three-bedroom, three-storey ‘Parkhall’ townhouse and a four-bedroom, three-storey ‘Lawrance’ townhouse will all be available to view in addition to the existing four-bedroom detached ‘Cadleigh’ house type which was opened in February. Champagne and canapés will be served from 11am to 5pm, making it a great time to visit.

David Wilson Homes Southern sales director, Lynne Morgan, said: “We are delighted at the interest in the development. We are offering some great deals to suit all kinds of buyers, together with help to get a mortgage and people are realising that now could be a very good time to buy.”

Move-up buyers could take advantage of the famous David Wilson part exchange service so they don’t have to worry about finding a buyer for their old place, and can enjoy a 12-month mortgage subsidy.

Lynne said: “We are offering some of our best-ever deals, but they can only be available for a limited period. I’d advise anyone interested to come and talk to us.”

The development is a joint project with David Wilson Homes Southern, Barratt Southern Counties and Wates and will ultimately provide a new community, set in over 129 acres on the north eastern edge of Horley. It will have its own primary school, a community centre, convenience store and parking for visitors as well as residents.

The convenience of The Acres location will be further boosted by the ‘Fastway’ bus service. It will link The Acres directly with Horley town centre, Crawley and Gatwick airport, the latter just four miles away. This intelligent, integrated transport system uses dedicated lanes and is designed to give an efficient alternative to the private car.

Horley provides excellent amenities, with a wide variety of high street and independent shops, restaurants, bars and its own theatre. Redhill and Reigate, both approximately five miles away, present other attractive destinations.

For relaxed days out, there are plenty of traditional pubs to discover in the surrounding villages, and a network of local footpaths lead to the beautiful open countryside of The Weald.

For school-age parents, the wide choice of state and independent primary and secondary schools in the vicinity includes the popular Oakwood School in Horley and St Bede’s in Redhill. East Surrey Hospital, the major hospital for East Sussex and North-West Sussex, is approximately three miles from the development.

Commuters will find that Redhill is only ten minutes away from Horley Station and central London can be reached in under 30 minutes. The nearby M23 offers quick access to the motorway network, with the M25 one junction away.

Homes currently available at The Acres, Langshott Road, Horley, RH6 9LJ, include three-bedroom houses from £346,995 and four-bedroom detached houses from £384,000. For further information visit Barratthomes.co.uk.
