A passion for gardening has planted itself within the hearts of homeowners according to recent statistics from Lloyds Bank.

The study revealed that homeowners between the ages of 25-34 spent an average of £647 on their outdoor spaces in the past year, nearly double the UK average of £366.

Thirty-four per cent of all homeowners claim they take more care improving their outdoor spaces.

Bellway offers their Moderno development in Brighton, as every home is accompanied by lavish private rear gardens, perfect for those green fingers.

Moderno is a beautiful collection of three and four-bedroom homes in the very sought-after location of Brighton.

Set amongst beautiful landscaped green spaces, the development is situated just outside Brighton city centre, surrounded by the green West Sussex countryside.

Nicky Morten, sales manager at Bellway Homes South East comments: “Moderno is a great development for homebuyers looking to take care of their outdoor spaces.

“The homes are ideal for those who like to get their hands dirty, stay active and take pride in their landscaping skills, as all homes come complete with a private rear garden. Moderno provides a great green environment, ready to grow and blossom from the care of green-fingered homeowners.

Set within a tranquil cul-de-sac, Moderno is a friendly development, with vast green open spaces, landscaped grounds, and a nearby Waitrose to suit all the family’s needs. The homes have been built to a contemporary specification, to meet the requirements of modern family living.

Accommodation is set across three storeys, featuring open plan kitchen and living areas, with vast natural light leading out to a private rear garden.

A perfect addition to the local suburban environment, Moderno offers all the benefits of eco technology incorporating innovative green features that mean energy saving and lower utility bills for residents.

Interiors are well appointed, with a high-quality specification selected throughout including sleek kitchens fully equipped with integrated Zanussi or AEG appliances, some complete with granite worktops.

Bathrooms feature Roca ‘Nexo’ white sanitary ware and ceramic floor tiles, while laminate flooring and carpets are fitted as standard.

Moderno is perfectly positioned to enjoy the highlights of the surrounding areas as Brighton offers a fashionable and lively vibe, with a huge range of entertainment, culture, eating out and shopping, as well as its famous beach and pier.

Hove is more genteel yet no less characterful with its peaceful seafront, wealth of chic gastropubs, bars, restaurants and boutiques. And for something more leisurely, the tranquility of the South Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Britain’s newest national park is never far away.

Moderno is conveniently located just a short walk from Preston Park station from where Central London is just an hour away by train and direct trains to Gatwick Airport take half an hour.

By road, Moderno is close to the A27, which provides convenient access along the South Coast, while the A23 towards London is less than 10 minutes away.

Homes at Moderno are currently priced from £409,995 to £599,995.
