Strong Three-Bed Home Sales At Battle Site

Millwood Designer Homes has seen impressive sales of its three-bedroom properties at brand new East Sussex development Lillybank, in Battle, since it launched off-plan in July.

In the short time since launching, over half (56%) of the available properties at Lillybank have been reserved. All three-bedroom homes, the property styles vary, from end-of-terrace properties available through the Help to Buy scheme for first-time buyers, to larger semi-detached homes with a built-in garage.

Philip Brown, sales and marketing director at Millwood Designer Homes, commented: “The increased demand for three-bedroom homes is almost certainly down to the need for more space following the pandemic. This type of property is so popular as it suits a wide range of buyers; they can make the perfect step onto the ladder for first-time buyers, whilst still offering ample space for growing families and downsizers too. Lillybank stands out to buyers as we’re offering the most popular property type in a fantastic location, and it’s great news that our three-bedroom homes are going down so well.”

Established on the site of a former horse paddock, Lillybank features an eclectic blend of family homes, ranging from two to five bedrooms. With properties covering a range of sizes and styles, there will be homes available at Lillybank suitable for all types of buyers, from families to downsizers and everything in between.
