Large family homes prove popular in Surrey

Large, family homes are one of the property types currently in shortest supply in the UK, according to recent research*. Which goes some way to explain why Barratt Southern Counties’ developments in Surrey are proving to be so popular.

At Liberty Park, an exclusive development of just 24 family homes in the village of Chaldon, just outside Caterham-on-the-hill, the Serrano house type recently won a prestigious Evening Standard New Homes award for the Best Family Home up to Five Bedrooms.

The development offers well-planned and beautifully proportioned family homes, with spacious living accommodation in a highly commutable location. Set back from the quiet wooded residential road, the houses have been carefully positioned within the development to maximise privacy and yet create a comfortable sense of community.
Nestled by the North Downs and with access to acres of Surrey countryside, it is within easy commutable distance of London.

Prices at Liberty Park currently start from £546,495 for four-bedroom home and £750,995 for a five-bedroom home. There are also three-bedroom homes available from £445,495.

At Barratt@Watercolour in Redhill, there is a selection of stunning family homes available within the peaceful surroundings of a nature conservation area. The homes vary from spacious four-bedroom townhouses with garages to five and six-bedroom detached homes with flexible accommodation including open-plan kitchen/dining areas and conservatories. The setting for all the homes is truly beautiful, the development features plentiful green spaces and canal reed beds which run into two stunning lagoons.

Prices at Barratt@Watercolour start from £340,995 for a four-bedroom house and £520,995 for five and six-bedroom houses.

At The Acres in Horley, Surrey, there are even more family homes to choose from by Barratt Southern Counties. The development is a fledgling new community, set in over 120 acres on the north eastern edge of the town. The landscaping throughout the scheme is now complete and with the first residents moved in, it’s really starting to take shape.

Prospective purchasers are encouraged to come down to view the stunning five-bedroom detached showhome, which features a large open-plan kitchen and dining area with conservatory, a separate sitting room and its own good-sized garden.

Prices for the five-bedroom homes start from £530,995. There are also three and four-bedroom homes at The Acres, priced from £275,995.

There are some great incentives to help prospective homebuyers make Liberty Park, Barratt@Watercolour or The Acres their new home. If purchasers have an existing home to sell, they can take advantage of Barratt’s excellent Part Exchange scheme. The housebuilder will buy your property and put the value towards a new house at the development. Part Exchange saves hassle, worry and money: there are no estate agent fees to pay, no HIP pack to prepare, and you can even stay in your old home until the new one is ready.
