A traditional village lifestyle is high on an increasing number of purchaser’s wish lists, according to research by Strutt & Parker. The agent’s “Housing Future’s – The Village Revival” report showed that 21% of those looking for a new home wanted to live in a village environment, but the village lifestyle must also offer good access to modern facilities such as broadband, and close proximity to amenities with 60% wanting to be able to walk to shops.
At Bellway’s exclusive Four Oaks development, a stunning collection of just 14 detached and semi-detached homes in Hurst Green Surrey, residents will be lucky enough to enjoy such a lifestyle. Set in a rural location yet with excellent transport links to the south east and London, each of the three remaining four bedroom homes offers a desirable blend of modern specification in a rural setting but also with local amenities a mere ten minute walk away.
“It is easy to see that today’s purchaser wants the best of both worlds, and that is what we are providing at Four Oaks,” comments Mark Harrop, Head of Sales at Bellway Homes South London division. “Here, residents can enjoy living in a contemporary home with all the mod-cons but with the additional benefit of a rural setting that offers all the desired amenities that those looking for the traditional village lifestyle can enjoy.”
A superior specification is on display throughout all of the homes at Four Oaks, boasting fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances and soft close units. The bedrooms are spacious, with fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom as well as en-suite shower rooms. The modern theme is continued with white Roca sanitaryware and heated towel rails and chrome taps. The living areas are also spacious and provide the perfect place for the whole family to convene.
The homes also benefit from turfed rear gardens and rear patios to enjoy the warm weather in private. All of the properties also offer garages and off-street parking.
Hurst Green itself is home to two convenience stores which are located a short walk from Four Oaks, whilst more extensive shops, restaurants and leisure options can be found around two miles away in neighbouring Oxted. There are a number of parks and play areas located near the development as well as a selection of golf clubs, equestrian centres, sailing and gliding clubs whilst keen walkers can enjoy the Surrey Hills and Kent Downs. Families are also well served educationally with a number of state and independent schools close by.
Transport connections are excellent with major roads accessible from the development including the M25, which can be reached in around 10 minutes, the A22 and the M23. The nearest railway station is Hurst Green, a few minutes drive (20 minutes walk) away, with frequent services into East Croydon, London Bridge, Clapham Junction and London Victoria. Gatwick Airport is less than 25 minutes by car via the M23, for domestic and international flights.
