First Release Of Homes At Hailsham Scheme

David Wilson Homes has launched its long-awaited new development in Hailsham, East Sussex, called Ersham Park, which will cater to a wide range of home-seekers from first-time buyers to families and downsizers alike.

The new homes will be set alongside vast green spaces and biodiversity areas, with retained trees and hedgerows, ponds, wildflower areas and bee-friendly planting throughout. The first phase will consist of 128 two, three and four-bedroom homes, of which 38 will be affordable. All homes have been constructed with energy-efficient boilers and high levels of insulation that ensure a new Barratt home is up to 57% cheaper to run than the same sized older home with modern day improvements. 100% of the homes in the first phase will benefit from either active or passive electric vehicle charging points (EVCPs), encouraging more sustainable transport methods.

A new cycleway will be provided through the site, linking Ersham Road to the Cuckoo Trail. Several new play areas and green open spaces will also be created for the residents and local community to enjoy, including the provision of a replacement village green land.

Kimberley Benson, sales and marketing director at David Wilson Southern Counties, commented: “Ersham Park offers an opportunity for local communities and wildlife to thrive, with great care taken to protect and enhance existing habitats from the ground up to the roofs of our houses. Not only is the development ripe with green spaces, but the popular Cuckoo Trail sits just outside of Ersham Park, whilst the South Downs are also nearby.

“Ersham Park will deliver much-needed new homes to the area to suit a diverse range of buyers, whatever their stage on the property ladder. In particular, we anticipate high demand from local buyers, as there is currently a very limited new homes market in the local area.”

Ersham Park is situated to the south of Hailsham, just one mile from the town centre, with its variety of shops, pubs and cafés. Residents will be within walking distance of a number of Ofsted ‘Good’ rated schools, including Burfield Academy, Whitehouse Academy and Hailsham Community College.

Residents at Ersham Park will be well connected, with the A22 and A27 nearby, and Polegate railway station less than three miles away. From here, London Victoria can be reached in 1 hour 22 minutes, whilst coastal destinations such as Eastbourne and Brighton are eight minutes and 30 minutes away respectively.

Currently available at Ersham Park are several four-bedroom houses. The feature property is Plot 4, the ‘Hollinwood’ – if this is reserved by 14 October 2022, the lucky buyer will receive up to £5,000 towards their Stamp Duty. Priced at £474,995, this detched home comes with single garage and two parking spaces. It has a dual-aspect lounge and separate dual-aspect kitchen/dining room with glazed bay to the garden. All bedrooms are a comfortable and bedroom one comes with an en suite, while the others can share the family bathroom.

The first residents are expected to move in early next year. Find out more about Ersham Park from David Wilson Homes.
