Downsizers make the most of opportunity in Surrey

Those looking to downsize - but who don’t want to compromise on space and style -could find the perfect solution at Millgate Homes’ Cobbett Place development. In fact, these new apartments in Farnham are so well suited to this discerning marketplace that, with 70% of the apartments already sold, all purchasers to date have been those looking to make the lifestyle change that downsizing affords.
Sales Manager, Mandie Whelan, says: “I think the reason that Cobbett Place is so popular with downsizers is due to a combination of factors – not least the fact that the apartments are very generously appointed, have plenty of storage space and are finished to an exceptional specification. The location is equally attractive; offering proximity to Farnham’s charming market town centre whilst being well placed for connections to London and the national motorway network. Meanwhile, the fact that Heathrow airport is within striking distance means that those who want to ‘lock up and leave’ and spend time travelling or at homes abroad are ideally placed.”
The selection of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in Farnham also means that those considering downsizing have real choice when it comes to selecting their new home, and the fact that many apartments have their own outdoor space in the form of patios or balconies is an attractive prospect. Despite these differences in layout, all the apartments at Cobbett Place share the light-flooded interiors and exceptional specification that have seen developer Millgate Homes win numerous awards.
This is beautifully showcased by the Show Home which, decorated in classic shades of grey with duck egg blue accents, highlights the ample space the generous rooms offer to house substantial pieces of furniture and entertain guests. Visitors will also see features such as double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, beautifully finished bathrooms and en suites complete with mirrors and bespoke fitted vanity units and a kitchen comprehensively equipped with a range of Siemens appliances in a natural steel finish; including a multi-function oven, extractor hood, microwave oven, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The result is a home that is literally ready to move into – purchasers will simply need to decide how to arrange the furniture when they move in.
If all this sounds impressive, by taking a step outside in to the beautiful grounds, landscaped by a Chelsea gold medal award-winning designer and complete with a refurbished summer house and ‘breeze house’, it’s easy to see that here residents will have a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy to the full.
In terms of location, Farnham town centre, with its good range of amenities, boutique shops, coffee houses and eateries, is within 1 mile*. Meanwhile, Farnham train station - which offers direct services to London Waterloo in under an hour** - lies within 0.7 miles* and Heathrow Airport is less than 25 miles*** distant.
The remaining new apartments in Farnham are priced from £355,000. The Show Home is open daily from 10am - 4pm.
