Taylor Wimpey’s new Gainsborough Place development of apartments and houses for sale in Wivelsfield, Burgess Hill, is making special provision for existing residents of the four-legged variety.

Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after Gainsborough Place development of new homes in Wivelsfield, Burgess Hill, is offering fantastic lifestyle opportunities to home-hunters in East Sussex – whether they have two legs, or four!

Creatures great and small will be able to call this beautiful development of apartments and houses for sale in Burgess Hill home, thanks to the efforts of the leading housebuilder to make special provision for the local resident badger population.

And discerning property-seekers in search of Burgess Hill flats and houses will appreciate all the benefits of sharing this carefully planned, semi-rural development with its native inhabitants – as the new properties in Burgess Hill will be surrounded by a selection of mature trees and green open space for all to enjoy.

Green corridors are to be created throughout the development of property for sale in Burgess Hill, which is bordered by picturesque open countryside, to provide an enriched ecological environment, along with the planting of native thicket including fruit and nut-bearing species to promote wildlife.

Laura Bellamy, Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “As a caring and ecologically responsible housebuilder, we have made every effort at Gainsborough Place to ensure the needs of our furry friends are well met and that this development of houses and flats in Burgess Hill minimises its effect on the natural environment.

“Anyone looking for a peaceful rural lifestyle in a wonderful location need look no further than this exciting new community of Burgess Hill property, where the local wildlife is just on the doorstep!”

Construction work is now under way on Gainsborough Place, a beautiful collection of 54 private two-bedroom apartments and three, four and six-bedroom houses, conveniently located in the thriving community of Wivelsfield.

Gainsborough Place is ideally placed for commuters, with the new neighbourhood located less than a mile from Wivelsfield railway station, which offers regular services to central London in under an hour, and to Brighton in only 20 minutes.

Crawley and the M23 are 16 miles away, putting the M25 within easy reach, while Gatwick Airport is just 23 miles from the development.

Also within easy reach is the bustling town of Burgess Hill, which is served by a wide range of independent and high street shops, including Tesco and Waitrose, as well as a good selection of restaurants, pubs and cafés.

Burgess Hill benefits from a thriving cultural scene with an independent cinema and local theatre, and the town also boasts good sporting facilities including a leisure centre which will serve as a base for teams in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Parents will appreciate that schools for children of all ages can be found in the town, while there is a primary school in the village of Wivelsfield.

For leisure and days out, a host of attractions is located just a short distance from the new development – the south coast is an easy drive away for days out at the beach, while stretching from the South Downs to the Surrey border is pretty countryside dotted with historic houses, famous gardens and lovely villages.

Mid Sussex’s delights include superb gardens – Wakehurst Place, Nymans, High Beeches, Borde Hill and Leonardslee – which are renowned for their botanical displays, while William Morris textiles can be seen at Standen, the Arts and Crafts house near East Grinstead.

To find out more about the wonderful semi-rural lifestyle on offer at Gainsborough Place, property seekers can visit the new Sales Centre, off Downscroft, Wivelsfield, RH15 0UF, and open between 10.30am and 5.30pm from Thursday to Monday each week.
