The pull of the countryside

Knowing exactly what you want to buy is half the battle when house hunting, but not for Ella Sowton. With a two bedroom apartment in Horsham, Ella thought she wanted a new house in the country. Following a visit to the Pulborough Brooks Nature Reserve with a friend, Ella saw Bellway’s Sandpiper Place development and found herself buying a two-bedroom apartment.

Ella Sowton (41), an Auditor in Quality and Safety for a UK airline, has now moved into her new country retreat. “I was looking ideally, for a house, but after doing the maths,” commented Ella. “I realised that I could hold on to my existing apartment as an investment whilst also having a larger apartment in the country for not too much more than my current mortgage arrangement. In these uncertain times, I see this as the perfect solution whilst also offering future security.”

The process, according to Ella, was simple. With no home to sell, the process was quick and straight forward. “I did look at other developments,” says Ella, “But the combination of liking the apartment and the location along with the responsive and helpful Bellway team really helped me make up my mind.”

Currently available at Sandpiper Place are one through to three bedroom homes. One-bedroom apartments are priced from £175,000 and two bedroom apartments are available from £210,000. Two-bedroom houses start at £265,000, whilst three bedroom houses are available from £297,000-£305,000.
