The development which has been designed in the style of a large country house is close to Walton Heath Golf Club. It features 10 luxury, two-bedroom apartments, within gated, extensive landscaped grounds. Each apartment has its own garage.

The apartments, which start in price from £650,000 have high ceilings and all the latest gadgets.

These include a pop up TV in the kitchen, fully integrated, professionally designed kitchens with a built-in coffee machine. There is wiring for multi-room sound system in the sitting room, kitchen, master bedroom and en-suite bathroom.

Nicki Dennis, sales and marketing director for Banner Homes Southern said: “The apartments are ideal for those who are finding their larger homes too much of a burden and who are looking for something stylish but with less maintenance. They are also very appealing to those wanting to lock up and leave their home for a few months while they travel more.”

Meanwhile Banner Homes has commissioned a survey of 2,000 people across the UK to find out what makes them happy about our homes.

The survey found we like to feel part of the local community. As well as being close to the corner shop, we like to be within two miles from a supermarket and five miles from the countryside.
