Vernacular Design-Inspired New Homes Released In Surrey Hills

Local housebuilder Runnymede Homes is working with agent Knight Frank as they launch The Courtyard, a collection of four two- and three-bedroom contemporary barn-style houses in West Horsley, Surrey.

Positioned on the outskirts of the village and close to neighbouring East Horsley, the development is expected to appeal to those looking for a Surrey countryside retreat. Set behind a walled entrance, the four homes occupy a private courtyard setting and feature classic combinations of red brick and the rich tones of shiplap and weatherboarding. The use of full-height and split-level windows, in a range of differing formats and scale, provides a contemporary edge.

Each of the properties has its own unique layout, but there are common features such as an open-plan hub on the ground floor, and first-floor bedrooms and bathrooms. The homes are fully networked for an array of media connectivity and include high-quality appliances and contemporary designer sanitaryware.

Each has a private garden with terraced area, brought closer to the living space through folding glazed doors, French windows, sliding doors or a mixture of each. Two of the homes include garages, whilst all include driveways or allocated parking.

Laura Hackney, a partner at Knight Frank and head of South East New Homes, said: “There is currently a strong requirement from buyers who are looking for a rural location with the benefits of good amenities nearby. Set in the Surrey Hills and an area of outstanding natural beauty, these properties have been well designed and carefully built with superb attention to detail which buyers are looking for. The area has good connections to London and the county town of Guildford, as well as convenient access to the M25.”

Mark Knight, managing director at Runnymede Homes, added: “We had great success with our recent, award-winning Foxfield development at West Clandon, where our ‘farmyard, barn-style homes’ attracted great praise for the design detail, standard of finish and sense of place. The Courtyard has been another opportunity for Runnymede to create another special place with four new homes to stand out distinctively from the crowd.”

Properties at The Courtyard have prices ranging from £795,000 to £1.565million. Find out more at runnymedehomes.co.uk or www.knightfrank.co.uk.
