The first resident has officially moved into their new home at Bovis Homes' Walstead Park development in Lindfield.
Located off Scamps Hill, the keys were handed over to the first buyer, marking a milestone since construction began in September 2023.
Additionally, two show homes are now complete and open to visitors.
The Walstead Park development will feature a total of 200 homes, with at least 60 designated as affordable housing, available through low-cost rent or shared ownership schemes.
As part of the project, Bovis Homes is also creating a 23-acre country park, which will include woodlands, wildlife areas, a wetland walk, children's play areas, and pedestrian and cycle routes connecting to Scaynes Hill Road and Snowdrop Lane.
Ginny James, regional sales and marketing director for Bovis Homes, said: "It's been wonderful to welcome the first buyers into their new home at Walstead Park and we’re looking forward to seeing a new community start to form here.
"The development is in a superb location, right on the edge of open countryside and within a mile of two nature reserves – Eastern Road and Scrase Valley. In addition to this, residents at Walstead Park will also benefit from having a newly created country park right on their doorstep.
"We've been extremely pleased with the response to our two show homes, which give prospective buyers an opportunity to picture what living at this development would be like. The three-bedroom Hayward and four-bedroom Snowdrop house types are unique to Walstead Park and offer a slight variation of layouts to meet the differing needs of families."
