House-hunters can now explore a new showhome at a housing development in the West Sussex village of Thakeham.

Bellway South London has unveiled the three-bedroom Parsonage house at its Abingworth Fields development, off Abingworth Crescent.

This is the first showhome to open on the site – which forms the third phase of construction within the wider Abingworth Meadows neighbourhood – and its professionally styled interior décor reflects the development’s peaceful rural surroundings, just a couple of miles from the South Downs National Park.

Daniel Williamson, Sales Director at Bellway South London, said: “Construction work is progressing well at Abingworth Fields, which has put us in the position of being able to complete the first homes on site, welcome the first new residents and to open the doors to this three-bedroom showhome.”

“The Parsonage is a perfect example of the high specification and superb finish that come with a new-build Bellway home and gives visitors an insight into the lifestyle they might enjoy here.

“A sizeable entrance hallway leads on one side to a spacious and light-filled kitchen/dining room with French doors to the back garden and, on the other, to an impressive dual-aspect living room which has been styled with traditional-style bookshelves and wildlife motifs.

“Upstairs, two of the bedrooms feature floral, bird and equestrian designs, while a third bedroom has been created for a young cricket fan complete with stumps for a headboard, in a nod to the cricket pitch and pavilion provided as part of the wider development at Abingworth Meadows. The upstairs study/spare bedroom features dark green panelling and leather-effect and brass accessories to complete the traditional look.

“We are building two other three-bedroom house types – the Westgate and the Chalvington – at Abingworth Fields, and the showhome will give potential buyers a feel for the kind of space they can expect in this collection of properties.”

Bellway South London is delivering 75 new homes at Abingworth Fields, which will feature 49 properties for private sale, including eight two-bedroom houses for the over-55s, as well as 26 affordable properties for local people available through low-cost rent or shared ownership.

Abingworth Fields is the third stage of construction at Abingworth Meadows. The wider development, which has been built on land formerly used for mushroom farming, has also delivered a cricket pitch with a pavilion, football fields, a village hall, changing rooms, a pre-school building and a shop and café.

There’s currently a choice of two-bedroom apartments available to reserve at Abingworth Fields, priced from £270,000 and a choice of two-bedroom houses for the over-55s from £375,000.
