For homebuyers looking to escape the hurry and flurry of London, Horsham is fast-becoming the perfect place to enjoy a holiday at home. Thanks to a government grant, the district is fast becoming an attractive staycation destination, with a comprehensive tourism strategy aimed towards making the West Sussex town a vibrant destination for sightseers, day trippers and staying visitors[1]. It is here that Bellway Homes has just launched Solomon's Seal, a collection of brand new homes in Broadbridge Heath, just two miles from Horsham.

Set within picturesque countryside, Solomon's Seal offers a variety of two, three, four and five bedroom homes. The development appeals to a wide range of buyer types, including first time buyers and families, and will be ideal for anyone planning to stay in the UK for the summer.

Horsham has the perfect balance of old and new, blending country living with today's modern lifestyles. There is an abundance of local attractions to visit including the award-winning Sumners Ponds fishery and campsite, Horsham Park and Human Nature Garden and Knepp Safari Park; all within striking distance of Solomon's Seal. There are excellent rail and road connections from Horsham to London and the south coast where you could be walking along Brighton beach in as little as 30 minutes. There is something for everyone to enjoy during the busy summer months without having to venture too far from home.

Speaking of the launch, Head of Sales for Bellway Homes South London, Mark Harrop, comments: “Solomon's Seal is in a fantastic location for a variety of buyers who are looking to enjoy the benefits of living in a peaceful village setting. We had a great response on the launch weekend and there has been lots of interest since. The development itself provides idyllic surroundings for savvy buyers who are making the choice to move away from the busy London suburbs, keen to live in a place where great facilities and attractions are on your doorstep.”

The homes at Solomon's Seal are offered in a variety of styles and finished to the highest standards. Each property enjoys a quality specification and embraces modern design features. Most properties will have either a garage or off-street parking, and all have turfed front and rear gardens.

A great example of the homes available is The Juniper, a three-bedroom linked home featuring an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with a separate utility room and French doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen is complemented by integrated appliances and a range of soft-close units and a separate dual-aspect living room.

Upstairs offers a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room, plus two further bedrooms and a family bathroom equipped with Roca sanitaryware, chrome-finish heated towel rails and fully-tiled walls.

The leisure facilities in the village are ideal for staycationers, including a recreation ground and several play areas, as well as tennis, cricket and football clubs. Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre on Wickhurst Lane has an athletics track, a football pitch, sports courts, an exercise studio and a gym, while the nearest swimming pool is at The Pavilions in the Park, in Horsham.

For shopping essentials, a convenience store is located a short walk from these new homes in Broadbridge Heath, while a large supermarket can be found five minutes' drive away. Horsham town centre, around two miles to the east, has two shopping malls – Swan Walk and The Forum – as well as a selection of chain and independent stores along West Street, East Street and the Carfax, where a twice-weekly market also takes place.

For commuters, Horsham railway station is just two miles from Solomon's Seal, and from there frequent services operate to Gatwick Airport (around 15 minutes), Clapham Junction (around 40 minutes) and London Victoria (around 50 minutes). Major roads are easily accessible from the development include the A281 (for Guildford, Horsham and Brighton), the A264 (for Horsham, Gatwick Airport, East Grinstead and Royal Tunbridge Wells), and the A24 for Worthing to the south and Dorking, Epsom and London to the north.
