Try Homes
Coombe Hall Park, East Grinstead, West Sussex
Although space is a definite requirement
for a growing family, a family home is about far more than just space. With
this award we honour the developer that has thought most carefully about the
nuances of family life and so provides families with the facilities that they
need both within the home and at the surrounding development. The winner of
this year’s award goes to Try Homes for its superb Coombe Hall Park, a stunning
collection of unique family houses (and apartments) set within seven acres of
stunning grounds.
The houses at the development are all
different in design but provide the same family-friendly features. Generous
kitchens and family rooms reflect the informal lifestyle of modern families,
while drawing and dining rooms offer more formal entertainment space for when
the kids have gone to bed. Extra rooms, for use for example as a playroom or
homework room, combine with the gardens and additional bathrooms (in the
five-bedroom Osbourne style house there are four, including the en suites) to
ensure that each member of the family can have their own space for work or
enjoyment and that in the rushed mornings there won't be rows over who gets
ready first!
Specification at Coombe Hall Park is
exclusive. Kitchens are fully fitted with a range of high quality integrated
stainless steel appliances, including fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Doors are
solid wood and surfaces are either granite or timber edge and lit with pelmet
lighting. Classic white bathrooms boast a contemporary feel, with vanity units
built in to all en suites and main bathrooms. Stylish basins are manufactured
by Villeroy & Boch.
Properties at Coombe Hall Park enjoy the
benefits of a traditional home alongside all the conveniences needed for modern
family life. Internet access is provided as standard, enabling harassed parents
to shop online as well as allowing their offspring the necessary resources for
studying. BT and TV points are fitted in all bedrooms as well as in the lounge,
study, kitchen, family room and conservatory (where applicable).
East Grinstead itself is a pretty, historic Tudor town offering a variety of
shopping and entertainment options, including a multi-screen cinema, a vintage
steam railway and a range of museums. The main draw however is the surrounding
countryside. Located on the fringe of the Sussex Weald, there are outdoor
pursuits for all members of the family here, from walks among the flora and
fauna of the landscape to bird sanctuaries, fishing, woodland and Lingfield
Racecourse.
All houses at Coombe Hall Park are now
sold but two apartments remain, priced from £249,950 for one bedroom. Call
