Detached family homes take the top spot at Rectory Meadows

Lloyd’s Banking Group reports that detached homes have become the top choice for home movers, driven by the desire for more privacy and space. This property type now accounts for 33% of all mortgages, up from 29% a decade ago.

Providing house-hunters with the opportunity to upsize in a quaint Sussex village location, Elivia Homes’ Rectory Meadows – a collection of homes in Plumpton Green - presents a variety of property types, including beautiful detached three, four and five-bedroom homes. And with the very first show home officially opening to the public on Saturday 9th November, interested house-hunters will get the first opportunity to view the family homes available at Rectory Meadows.

Reflecting the area’s architectural heritage, the two-to-five-bedroom homes at Rectory Meadows feature traditional exteriors paired with stylish, contemporary interiors. Set within a beautifully landscaped environment, the development includes nine detached homes ranging from three-bedroom house types to the larger four and five bedroom homes, such as The Barnham and The Stonegate. Launching on the 9th November, the first show home is The Rolvenden – a three-bedroom detached property with interiors styled by Alx Gunn.

Philip Brown, Sales and Marketing Director at Elivia Homes, comments: “At Rectory Meadows we set out to not only create homes that blend seamlessly into the tranquil and community-focused village of Plumpton Green, but that perfectly fit the needs of family life. The features of Rectory Meadows’ spacious detached houses are perfect for families, which can be seen within our new Rolvenden show home.

"The separate office spaces are great for those with children as they keep work and family time separate while the large private gardens provide ample space for energetic little ones, easing the demands of busy family life.”

The three-bedroom Rolvenden show home offers both luxury and practicality, featuring open-plan living areas, elegant bedrooms, and a first-class specification throughout. The heart of the home is the expansive ground floor, where the spacious living room creates a natural family hub. The open plan kitchen/dining space, complete with doors that open onto the large garden and patio, is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, while the separate living room offers space to relax.

The beautifully designed handleless kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive range of wall and floor units, laminate worktops, and an array of integrated appliances, including an induction hob, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
