Orchard Park

Development Overview

Orchard Park is a new build development by Bovis Homes, part of the Vistry Group, located on Plaistow Road in the picturesque village of Kirdford, West Sussex, RH14 0JR. The development is set within the scenic West Sussex countryside, offering a blend of rural tranquility and modern living standards. While the initial phase comprised a collection of 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes, current availability is focused primarily on spacious 4-bedroom new build homes. The developer, Bovis Homes, traces its heritage back to 1885 and is recognised as one of the UK’s leading house builders. Current pricing for the remaining properties, which are predominantly detached 4-bedroom houses, generally starts from approximately £640,000, with specific homes like ‘The Grove’ being listed up to £735,000.

Property Details

The new build homes at Orchard Park include a mix of detached, semi-detached, and terraced house types, all designed with energy efficiency and a modern specification. Available house types include 'The Paddock,' 'The Evergreen,' 'The Summer,' and 'The Grove'. The 4-bedroom detached models, such as one listed at 1,564 sq ft, typically feature an open-plan kitchen and dining area with French doors leading to the garden, a separate sitting room, and a separate utility room with external access. In line with a higher-end specification, many detached models include en-suite facilities for both the principal and secondary bedrooms. All new houses for sale come with off-street parking and plentiful storage. A notable benefit of these modern new builds is the potential for an annual saving of 64% on heating bills due to high energy efficiency, which may also enable access to ‘Green Mortgage’ products.
