The Brookworth Difference: building communities that feel like home

When most of us think of home, we think of a quiet place to escape from the world with the people we love. But homes are more than peaceful retreats – they’re places that bring people together, from an evening dinner party with a few friends to our neighbours and the wider community.

Throughout our long history, Brookworth Homes has always been focused on the idea and importance of community. Our developments aren’t just collections of new-build properties but also welcoming communities and closely linked parts of their respective towns and cities.

It’s an integral part of The Brookworth Difference: everything that makes a Brookworth home – and its impact on the local community – unique.

Respecting and reflecting the local community

From the earliest stages of planning, the idea of community runs through everything we do. This is especially important as we consider potential locations for a new development.

Our team invests time and resources into extensive research, not just into practicalities like development potential but also the culture, history, and existing community in an area. We’re always looking for a location with its own sense of community, something we work to respect and reflect as development begins.

Significantly, we aim to extend and complement the local community, not change it. Our recent development at The Vale is a shining example, set against ancient woodland and designed to fit naturally and seamlessly with this incredible natural landscape.

Responding to the needs of homebuyers

We also take the time to understand what local homebuyers are looking for, whether that’s a family-friendly location or access to a vibrant social scene. This customer-centric approach is a vital part of The Brookworth Difference and underpins every decision we make.

In part, this research and understanding informs the size, bedrooms and design of the properties we build, ensuring the homes we create fit the community. It’s also how we find the appropriate balance between private, exclusive spaces like gardens, and more open, communal space throughout each development.

Integrating new developments with the community

Brookworth developments are all designed to feel exclusive, not excluded. We go further to integrate our developments into existing communities, particularly through transport links, walking paths, and convenient locations.

We strive for every development to feel connected to the community: a hub where you can live in luxury and a base for you to explore everything the surrounding area has to offer.

At the same time, our uncompromising quality standards means every new development is a genuine asset for the local community. We firmly believe that new homes should enhance the community, not intrude upon it, and this is something you can see in the scale and style of our developments.

We also encourage thriving local communities by establishing Community Leaders at our developments. These residents, like Tony & Linda at The Exchange in Cheltenham, add the personal touch by offering tours of their home to potential homebuyers and actively welcoming people to the area. In this way, we sow the seeds of communities that will continue to flourish and grow, year after year.

Putting people above property

Above all else, The Brookworth Difference reflects our unique emphasis on the people who choose to live in one of our luxury new build homes. Every day, we create places where homeowners can find not just a sense of home, but also a sense of belonging.

At The Vale in Burgess Hill, homeowners Trish and Ian downsized to find a ‘welcoming community environment. In their words: “We fell in love with the property as soon as we viewed it.”

Similarly, Tony & Linda swapped their countryside life for a city base in Cheltenham and a more connected sense of community: “We’ve had the Jazz and Science Festivals earlier in the year and the Literary and Music Festivals coming up. It all just adds to an eclectic mix.”
