The first phase of a luxury new homes development in Mytchett near Camberley, Surrey, has been launched to the market by global property consultancy Knight Frank.
Developer Nicholas King Homes is delivering the standout scheme, which comprises 99 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom houses alongside a collection of 56 2-bedroom apartments and duplexes.
The development is on track for completion in summer 2023, with buyers able to move in now.
According to the 2021 Buyers Survey conducted by Knight Frank, 72% of buyers rate having a garden, outdoor space or access to land as a high priority. This is up from 56% in the 2020 Buyers Survey – suggesting outdoor space is more important to buyers now than before the pandemic.
Luckily for buyers interested in purchasing at Water’s Edge, an abundance of natural beauty exists right on the development’s doorstep. The scheme overlooks two lakes – bringing a sense of peace and relaxation to the development. Homeowners at Water’s Edge can also take advantage of the surrounding beautiful green land – including 2.3 kilometres of circular cycling and walking paths.
Laura Hackney, Head of South East New Homes at Knight Frank said: “For those looking to strike a better work-life balance in a post-Covid world, there is no better place to set down roots than Water’s Edge. It has been perfectly designed and developed to offer residents a haven of tranquillity, while still being within easy reach of city life.”
Surrey has grown in popularity over the last 12 months, as Covid-19 has prompted buyers to seek out homes with access to green spaces and local, walkable communities that are still within commuting distance to London.
According to new research by Knight Frank, new prospective buyers looking to purchase in Surrey rose 61% in 2020 compared to the five-year average. This figure rose dramatically among applicants in London. New prospective buyers currently living in the capital and looking to purchase in Surrey increase by 146% in 2020, compared to the five-year average.
Laura Hackney of Knight Frank added: “The development provides a wonderful collection of unique homes suited to a wide range of buyers. We have already received a strong level of interest in the scheme, and look forward to welcoming potential buyers to our marketing suite and show homes.”
The development is ideal for those with children; a number of reputable schools are located nearby, including Mytchett Primary School, Salesian College, Farnborough Hill and Holly Lodge Primary Academy.
The area also boasts a large number of highly rated pubs, bars and restaurants in the neighbouring towns of Farnborough and Guildford. For those wanting to enjoy the sights and sounds of the big city, London Waterloo is accessibly in under an hour from Farnborough or Ash Vale train stations.
Susan Jacquest, Sales & Marketing Director at Nicholas King Homes, commented: “Water’s Edge is the perfect location from which to take advantage of tranquil open space right on your doorstep. We have already received strong interest from every market sector.”
Prices at Water’s Edge start from £345,000. Those interested should contact Knight Frank on 01483 564 660 to arrange a show home viewing.
