Much-anticipated new homes in Battle are generating lots of interest from potential homebuyers. Book your tour of the show home now for its opening from Saturday 28 February.

The new development, known as Tapestry, offers a choice of 200 homes with the first being ready to move into during February 2026.

A selection of 70 three and four-bedroom homes are currently available to buy outright and the new show home provides an insight of the exceptional build quality, high specification finishes and spacious layouts that characterise each house.

The new homes are being developed by Rother District Council Housing Company (RDCHC), working in partnership with Rother District Council and Places For People.

This is the largest new homes scheme that has been built in the Rother area for more than a decade and because of this lack of development, there’s a genuine shortage of new and high-quality family homes in and around Battle.

He added: “This is despite it being a highly sought-after place to live in, thanks to its rich blend of history, picturesque medieval charm, strong sense of community, excellent schools and bustling high street that’s full of independent shops, cafes and pubs. Its railway station also offers direct trains to London, and it’s all set within the beautiful High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

“We’ve been marketing our homes since the end of October and because there’s nothing else like Tapestry available in the local area, we’re currently experiencing a huge amount of interest from homebuyers and families keen to visit the site and experience the quality of what’s on offer.

Feel what it will be like to live at Tapestry

“The show home will provide a real feel for what it will be like to live at Tapestry, in an exceptional home that meets a superb specification, and anyone interested should register their interest now.”

All the homes are designed to be highly energy-efficient with air source heat pumps and underfloor heating. Elegant and contemporary kitchens have stone worktops and integrated appliances, and all the homes have landscaped gardens, private driveways and EV charging points.

Prices range from £455,000, for a smartly designed three-bedroom semi-detached home with light-filled spaces and a flexible layout, to £525,000 for a spacious four-bedroom home with a luxurious ensuite master bedroom.

The homes are being built by Greymoor Construction, which has a strong track-record in building high-quality, sustainable homes across the South East, including several projects in East Sussex. And the development is named after the Bayeaux Tapestry, which depicts the Norman Conquest of 1066 and sealed Battle’s place in British history.

The range of houses offers ideal new homes for families who need more space, as well as couples who want to downsize, release equity and live in an easier property to manage.
