Property & Development : The UK’s Guide To Residential

Renowned housebuilder Berkeley has launched its latest collection of premium new homes at Broadacres in the West Sussex village of Southwater. Recently launched with a brand new sales suite and a three-bedroom show home, Water Meadows offers a wide choice of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes that combine traditionally inspired architecture, quality interiors and an attractive village setting.

Showcasing the very best of Sussex living with its countryside location, warm community and good access to amenities and transport links, Broadacres ticks all the boxes for purchasers looking for a high quality village lifestyle. Berkeley has unveiled a new three-bedroom semi-detached show home and sales suite, both designed by Jigsaw Interior Architecture, to showcase the craftsmanship and specification on offer.

The new phase at Broadacres, Water Meadows, takes inspiration from the traditional Sussex style of red brick and flint, incorporating careful detailing along with generous landscaping.  Designed to complement the exteriors, the new show home and sales suite offer a welcoming and homely atmosphere where purchasers can really experience the quality of the homes. The show home maximises use of space and incorporates features such as space to work from home, reflecting the need to adapt to evolving lifestyles.

Ben Annetts, Sales and Marketing Director for Berkeley Homes Southern, comments: “The homes at Broadacres have been selling well so we are pleased to unveil our latest collection of new homes, Water Meadows. With a wide range of house sizes and layouts, there is something for everyone whether you have a growing family or are downsizing for retirement.  Broadacres offers that ideal mix of countryside and convenience, modernity and heritage, and we have really continued that through into the latest show home and new sales suite, so we encourage potential purchasers to come down and have a look around.”

The three-bedroom show home is designed with a young family in mind, with décor that is fresh and modern but retains a sense of heritage to reflect the architectural style. It features sophisticated statement colours including on trend deep blue kitchen units, mustard yellow accents in the bedrooms and muted greens to link back to nature. Clever built-in joinery in the open plan living room allows a desk and workstation to be included, making the most of space and adding extra storage.

The new sales suite continues this emphasis on design and comfort. Its eclectic style includes a gallery wall and more bespoke joinery, as well as plenty of comfortable sofas and soft furnishings allowing customers to feel at home and visualise the lifestyle on offer.

Alix Roman from Jigsaw Interior Architecture said: “We wanted to design a look that ties in with the setting and injects personality and style. There are elements of heritage, for example a William Morris style wallpaper in a nod to Sussex’ ties with the Arts & Crafts movement and another wallpaper that looks like tongue and groove panelling. But above all it was about creating a warm welcome and making the most of the space, so that people will be able to see themselves living here.”

All homes at Broadacres are finished with the highest quality specification that Berkeley is known for. Kitchen and living areas are open-plan and designed for flexible living, maximising natural light and space. The individually styled kitchens come in a choice of colours and are fitted with a range of integrated Bosch appliances. Every master bedroom has spacious fitted wardrobes and an en suite. All homes come with landscaped front gardens and parking spaces as standard.

Broadacres is ideally positioned within walking distance of Southwater’s many amenities including sports facilities, supermarket, doctors’ surgery and a local pub. The village also has well regarded primary schools making life easy for families. Horsham is just ten minutes away with its busy station that provides direct rail links to Central London in less than an hour, as well as its wide range of shops, restaurants, cafes and a weekly farmers’ market.
