The Gateway

Development Overview

The Gateway is a new build homes development by Linden Homes, a Vistry Group brand and a Home Builders Federation (HBF) 5-star home builder, located at 16 Swan Gardens, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, TN40 2GA. The development comprises a selection of new 2, 3, and 4-bedroom houses, designed to blend contemporary architecture with traditional build quality. The homes are situated on the outskirts of Bexhill-on-Sea, providing access to both coastal amenities and local urban services.

Prices for the 4-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties start from £369,995 for house types such as The Violet (4-bed semi-detached, Plot 152) and extend up to £449,995 for The Lavender (4-bed detached, Plot 162). A selection of plots is also available through the Shared Ownership scheme, with the full market price on homes like The Dahlia (4-bed detached) starting from £424,995 (contact the developer for current shared ownership pricing and eligibility criteria).

Property Details

The houses at The Gateway offer functional, family-focused layouts. The available properties primarily consist of 3 and 4-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes, including specific models like The Dahlia and The Sunflower (3-bed detached). Standard features across the range include stylish fitted kitchens from the Symphony Koncept range, open-plan kitchen/dining areas with French doors opening to the rear garden, and a separate living room in the larger 4-bedroom units. Practical internal features include a downstairs W.C., built-in storage, and a main bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

All homes benefit from high-performance PVCu double glazing and utilise a Heat Interface Unit (HIU) with Honeywell heating controls. The construction is designed for energy efficiency; according to the Home Builders Federation, new Linden Homes are, on average, 64% cheaper to heat than equivalent Victorian properties, potentially saving homeowners up to £907 annually on heating bills. All new build homes come with a 10-year NHBC warranty and a 2-year developer warranty for peace of mind. The development also benefits from a Community Heat Hub and network.
