Bricklayer Lane, Faygate, Horsham, RH12 0AA

REF RM1298 Kilnwood Vale is one of those developments that works. Landscaped, well-managed, with a genuine sense of community — green spaces, play areas, walking routes.

This apartment on Bricklayer Lane sits on the first floor, with the kind of quiet and privacy that most flats can't offer.

Access to the building is via a secure fob and phone entry system, which adds a layer of ease as much as security. Inside, the layout is generous for the price.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living room runs nearly twenty feet across, with enough space to work, eat and relax without any of those functions getting in the way of the others.

The kitchen is well fitted; clean, contemporary cabinetry with complimenting worktops, a stainless steel extractor and integrated Bosch appliances including a gas hob, oven and fridge freezer.

Marble-effect tiling runs underfoot across the whole living space. Nothing needs doing.

The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room — a proper retreat rather than an afterthought.

The second bedroom is a genuine double, running to over fourteen feet, which makes it useful whether that's for guests, a home office or something in between.

A separate family bathroom serves the rest of the apartment and the hallway has storage built in. Two allocated parking spaces come with the apartment.

Kilnwood Vale sits between Horsham and Crawley, which gives it good reach in both directions. For rail, Faygate and Three Bridges stations are both close by, with services into London.

Gatwick Airport is a short drive, and the M23 and M25 are easily accessible for anyone travelling further afield.

On the doorstep in the other direction, Buchan Park and open countryside walks are available in most directions, it's a development that manages to feel genuinely green without being out of the way.

It's chain free, with a long lease in place.
