Durrants Drive, Durrants Village, Faygate

Enjoying a particularly attractive position overlooking the croquet lawn, this bright and beautifully presented two bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of privacy, outlook and lifestyle within the highly regarded Durrants Village, an exclusive development designed for the over 60's.

Positioned on the first floor and accessed via lift or stairs, the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway with useful storage. The standout feature is the impressive double aspect living room, extending to over 21ft, filled with natural light from a bay window and double doors opening onto a private balcony. From here, the outlook across the croquet lawn creates a real sense of space and calm, setting this apartment apart from others within the development.

The kitchen is modern and well appointed, fitted with a range of wall and base units alongside integrated appliances, with space for a breakfast table set within the bay window, providing a pleasant and sociable dining area.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned doubles with built in wardrobes, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a neatly finished en suite shower room. A separate bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests.

The apartment has been carefully maintained and is presented in excellent order throughout, allowing for immediate occupation, and is offered with no onward chain.

Lifestyle at Durrants Village

Set within approximately 30 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, Durrants Village offers far more than a traditional apartment setting, instead providing a carefully considered environment where independence is combined with a strong sense of community and day to day ease.

At the heart of the village is the clubhouse, a central hub where residents can meet, relax and socialise. Here you will find a restaurant serving freshly prepared meals, a bar, and comfortable lounge areas, all designed to create a welcoming and sociable atmosphere. For those who enjoy keeping active, there is a swimming pool and gym, along with a range of organised classes and activities.

Quieter spaces are equally well catered for, including a resident library, hobby and craft rooms, and dedicated areas for social groups and gatherings. The development also benefits from a guest suite, allowing visiting family and friends to stay close by.

The outdoor environment is a particular feature, with landscaped gardens, a lake, woodland walks and open green spaces, including the croquet lawn which this apartment directly overlooks. These surroundings provide an ever changing outlook throughout the seasons and a peaceful setting to enjoy daily life.

Support, Security & Peace of Mind

Durrants Village is designed to offer reassurance without compromising independence. The development is fully managed with an on site team, with services available to assist with day to day living if required, including maintenance, housekeeping and additional support options.

Each property benefits from a 24 hour emergency call system, providing immediate access to assistance if needed, offering both residents and their families added peace of mind.

The comprehensive service charge covers the upkeep of the building and grounds, security, and access to the wide range of facilities, allowing residents to enjoy a low maintenance lifestyle without the usual responsibilities associated with running a home.

Location

Durrants Village is situated in Faygate, a small and well placed village to the north east of Horsham, surrounded by open countryside while remaining highly accessible.

Faygate station is within easy reach, providing convenient links to London and the south coast, while Horsham town centre offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities. The M23 is also a short drive away, giving straightforward access to Gatwick Airport and the wider motorway network.

The surrounding area combines the charm of the Sussex countryside with the practicality of excellent transport connections, making it an ideal setting for those looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life without feeling isolated.
