Dandara has officially begun construction on a new housing development in South Chailey bringing 56 homes to the East Sussex village.
With views of the South Downs National Park, The Cygnets will offer a mix of two, three, four and five bedroom homes when complete, along with affordable rent and shared ownership properties to help meet local housing needs. Named after the nearby listed former public house, The Swan House, the development is expected to welcome its first residents this winter.
Dandara South East Managing Director, David Garrett, said:
“This groundbreaking marks an important milestone for us as we begin work on this vibrant new neighbourhood, which has been thoughtfully designed to meet local housing needs.
“Our homes have been carefully planned to complement the character of the traditional properties in the area and incorporate locally inspired materials and architectural detailing that reflect the heritage of the surrounding neighbourhood.
“With a broad range of homes available and such a desirable location just minutes from the centre of South Chailey, we are expecting a great deal of interest in the development.”
The Cygnets is within walking distance of the South Downs National Park and Chailey’s historic 18th-century windmill. South Chailey offers a range of everydayamenities, including a village convenience store, doctor’s surgery, and both primary and secondary schools, while additional education and leisure facilities can be found in nearby towns and villages.
Just a 10-minute drive from Lewes, residents will have easy access to the county town’s independent shops, selling locally produced wines and cheeses, and cafés, historic pubs and craft breweries.
Ideal for commuters, Brighton is around 30 minutes away by car, while London can be reached in just over an hour by train from nearby Cooksbridge station. The development also benefits from regular bus services and convenient access to the A23, A26 and M23.
