The Vale testimonial: From France to West Sussex

At Brookworth Homes, we don’t just build houses; we build a lifestyle. Our team is location-led and customer-first and this philosophy ensures we always exceed your standards.

With larger homes becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, homeowners like Trish (66) and Ian Rodwell (75) decided to downsize and find their perfect home. If you are looking to downsize for yourself or your family, a Brookworth home could be perfect for you. Trish and Ian chose our development in Burgess Hill and have been very impressed with their newly built home. But don’t just take our word for it. 

“This is our 21st move in 40 years and having previously been frequent relocators due to my husband’s career, we are very happy to be settled in our new home. Originally, we were looking to rent, but were put off by the current state of the rental market. Having just sold our home in France, we needed a place immediately and fell in love with the property as soon as we viewed it.”

Burgess Hill, on the edge of the South Downs, is the perfect location to settle into. The local town and high street are full of markets and local restaurants, making it the perfect home for Trish and Ian. Being surrounded by the countryside with a warm and welcoming community environment makes Burgess Hill the perfect place to downsize.

“Even though the home was smaller than what we’d had before, we were so impressed with the features which have made our home super convenient for us. With an integrated speaker, ring doorbell and cameras, it is built to an extremely high standard, and we have definitely been converted to new builds!” - Trish

After finding their perfect home, Trish put her design skills to good use to add her own stamp to the property. As an interior designer, Trish redesigned their garden by spending an extra £15,000 on personalising their outdoor space. Trish and Ian are delighted by their new home; with their perfect location and ideal commute, they have made it their own.

“As an interior designer and spatial planning specialist, I am undergoing a few projects locally, and living close by allows me to bring my kitchen design skills and understanding to several clients without having to commute from afar. We also have family based in Oxford and London, so the location allows easy access for us to visit”- Trish

From us at Brookworth - “Our homes are designed with all types of buyers in mind, including those who historically haven’t been drawn to new builds. As demonstrated by Trish and Ian, homes at The Vale are perfect for those wanting an easy and quick move without having to compromise on specification and quality. As a Surrey-based developer, we have a track record in building homes to the highest standard, and our homes at Burgess Hill are no different.”- Gavin Rowley

If you are looking to downsize, we have a range of two-bedroom apartments as well as three and four-bedroom homes at Fairways in Burgess Hill or Gallica in Sissinghurst. Get in touch with us now.
