Studies highlight the importance of a healthy and nurturing family environment on children’s mental health, with open communication, strong relationships and harmony giving children the space they need to flourish.[1] Easy access to nature, sports facilities, entertainment venues and high-quality educational establishments also does much to provide a wholesome setting in which children can reach their full potential. At The Brambles in Crowborough, children have all this and more, while parents can enjoy the added bonus of easy access to London for work and play.
The Brambles is a collection of 26 homes located in Crowborough, East Sussex. The two, three- and four-bedroom properties at the development are ideally suited to growing families. Across the weekend of Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March, interested house-hunters are invited to an exclusive event to preview the collection of detached chalet bungalows at The Brambles. For buyers that are searching for a smaller abode, Elivia Homes is also hosting a ‘Spring into an Apartment’ muddy boot event on the 15th and 16th March, showcasing their two-bedroom properties, for those wishing to get in early.
Philip Brown, Sales and Marketing Director at Elivia Homes Eastern, comments: “The Brambles offers a range of properties well-suited to family life and multi-generational living. The interiors have been carefully designed to provide space for families to spend time together, while also ensuring everyone has their own sense of private retreat, whether for remote working, completing school assignments or simply relaxing. The wealth of diverse natural environments and extensive leisure amenities in the local area also serves families exceptionally well, making The Brambles the development of choice in this charming part of East Sussex.”
