Development Overview

Ashdown Gardens is a new build homes development by Linden Homes, a division of Galliford Try, located off Eridge Road in Crowborough, East Sussex (TN6 2GN). The development offers a collection of modern, energy-efficient new homes situated in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, adjacent to the protected landscape of Ashdown Forest. The new homes consist primarily of 3 and 4 bedroom detached and semi-detached properties, with current available 4-bedroom house types starting from an approximate price range of £639,995 to £659,995. The price of 3-bedroom units is to be confirmed upon enquiry with the sales team. The development targets couples, families, and downsizers seeking contemporary living with excellent access to the Sussex and Kent countryside.

Property Details

Each new build property at Ashdown Gardens is designed with practical family living in mind. The homes feature contemporary, open-plan kitchen and dining areas, providing a central hub for day-to-day life and entertaining guests. Distinct, separate living areas are also incorporated for versatility. Specific property types include a variety of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom layouts. All new homes are built with sustainability principles in mind and are backed by a 10-year new home guarantee. Specific features, such as external materials, landscaping, and garage positions, may vary by plot, and potential buyers should contact the developer for detailed floorplans and specification lists for available plots.

Location Benefits and Transport Links

The development is situated approximately half a mile from Crowborough High Street, which offers local amenities including shops, eateries, and various services. Local community facilities include the Crowborough Leisure Centre and a recently completed Community Centre hosting arts and cultural events. Ashdown Gardens features its own on-site play area and is in close proximity to the walking and outdoor recreation opportunities within Ashdown Forest.

Practical Information

Linden Homes, the developer, is the housebuilding division of Galliford Try. While Linden Homes has been recognised with a 4-star HBF customer satisfaction rating in previous years (to be confirmed for the current year), buyer feedback on new build forums is mixed, with the quality and snagging resolution often varying by individual site manager and plot. Interested parties are encouraged to arrange an independent inspection of their chosen new build property. The development offers move-in-ready plots, and viewing arrangements can be booked directly with the Linden Homes sales team. Purchase schemes and plot-specific incentives, such as a 5% financial boost (subject to terms), are available on selected new build homes.
