Amongst the nation’s most scenic landscapes are our National Parks.

Whilst recent research revealed that many homes near National Parks command as much as a £125,000 premium, Brighton house hunters could have the South Downs on their doorstep for much less than they think with a brand new home right on the national park border. Bellway’s Moderno development in Patcham offers the ideal location to explore the parkland, and with the Help to Buy scheme, buyers can get a two-storey three bedroom house for less than £330,000.

The South Downs is recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty and covers an area of over 1,600km². Within this area of protected countryside, visitors can enjoy walking, cycling or horse riding, with the famous South Downs Way passing a few miles to the north of Brighton. Moderno is an exciting collection of three and four bedroom townhouses on the edge of Brighton, in Patcham, within easy reach of the park border. Situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac, Moderno is a perfect location for family living, combining spacious and stylish properties with a fantastic location near the South Downs, as well as the bright lights and coastline of Brighton.

Nicky Morton, sales director at Bellway Homes South East comments: “The South Downs, as Britain’s newest National Park, is one of its most popular. It is a fantastic asset for Brighton having this beautiful green expanse of open space next to it and those living at Moderno will be particularly well positioned to make the most of it, enjoying the vast open spaces. For families who like outdoor pursuits and peaceful surroundings, it doesn’t get much better.”

The houses at Moderno come in four stylish layouts, offering a glorious sense of space set across two or three storeys, with different areas carefully designed to meet the needs of modern living. The spacious open plan kitchen and living areas make the most of natural light and lead out to an enclosed rear garden, complete with large lawn providing a more private green space.

Interior layouts are flexible to suit the individual needs of residents, so the generously sized rooms on the upper levels might serve as extra living room space, bedrooms or a home office.

The master bedrooms on the top floor of the three storey homes include balconies, fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, creating a tranquil retreat.

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.

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

Homes at Moderno are priced from £409,995, with Help to Buy available on the Toto range. Buyers can also take advantage of Bellway Homes’ Express Mover and Part Exchange schemes, for a swift and hassle free purchase and move. For further information please visit bellway.co.uk or call 0845 548 3020.
