Malthouse Meadows

Malthouse Meadows, developed by Persimmon Homes, is a new collection of energy-efficient new build homes situated in the village of Sompting, West Sussex, postcode BN15 0BE. The development offers a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom freehold houses, designed to blend modern comfort with the character of the semi-rural location. The initial release of properties includes house types suitable for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers.

Prices for the available homes at Malthouse Meadows currently start from £385,000 for a three-bedroom property. Specific examples from the current phase include a three-bedroom semi-detached house starting at £385,000 and larger detached homes, such as a three-bedroom ‘Sherwood’ model, priced from £465,000. Four-bedroom detached properties are available with prices up to £570,000. This pricing is highly competitive for the region, reflecting the developer's strategy of offering homes with a private average selling price that is approximately 20% lower than the UK national average for new build homes.
