Independent housebuilder Dandara is launching 56 homes from-plan in South Chailey, East Sussex. The new homes will respond to the demand for affordable properties outlined in Lewes District Council’s five-year housing supply strategy.
Set within the rural village of South Chailey, the Cygnets is a collection of two, three, four and five bedroom homes. The development will comprise private properties, as well as affordable rent and shared ownership options, providing opportunities for a range of buyers, including first-time buyers and families.
The from-plan launch gives buyers the opportunity to secure a home before construction is complete. A selection of three- and four- bedroom homes will be available, with prices starting from £475,000.
The Cygnets is within walking distance of the South Downs National Park and Chailey’s historic 18th-century windmill. South Chailey offers a range of everyday amenities, including a village convenience store, doctor’s surgery and both primary and secondary schools, while additional education and leisure facilities can be found in nearby towns and villages.
Alexander Dowling, Sales Director for Dandara South East, said: “The Cygnets has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of South Chailey and its surrounding countryside, while incorporating modern features that support sustainable living. Many of the homes will include air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points.
“The Lewes District Council five-year housing plan has outlined a need for affordable housing to cater for young professionals and first-time buyers. The strategy also suggested an increase in shared ownership options, responding to the fact that buying in South Chailey is too expensive for many of the locals. With a mix of private sale, affordable rent and shared ownership homes, The Cygnets will help meet local housing needs while creating a desirable place to live for a wide range of buyers. We expect to see a lot of interest due to its sought-after location.”
“Purchasing from plan gives buyers the opportunity to secure their chosen home early and follow its progress throughout construction, which can be a really exciting part of the process. We look forward to welcoming the first residents to the neighbourhood.”
Named after the nearby listed former public house, The Swan House, the development is expected to welcome its first residents this winter.
Just a 10-minute drive from Lewes, residents will have easy access to the county town’s independent shops, selling locally produced wines and cheeses, and cafés, historic pubs and craft breweries.
Ideal for commuters, Brighton is around 30 minutes away by car, while London can be reached in just over an hour by train from nearby Cooksbridge station. The development also benefits from regular bus services and convenient access to the A23, A26 and M23.
