Designed by JTP, The Villas on the Green are Thakeham’s collection of homes at Woodgate, West Sussex. 

Each comprised of four bedrooms, the homes have a Scandinavian influence and a non-traditional layout. The external architecture is Nordic in style, providing a modern twist through angular facades and large expanses of glass to maximise natural light.

Four individual house styles offer a choice of interior layouts and exterior finishes. The décor, accessorised by matt black ironmongery, is warmed by natural oak-effect flooring. Fully fitted kitchens include stone worktops and ceramic wall tiling, while bathrooms feature a mix of stone and wood-effect finishes.

Bi-fold doors lead out onto a sizeable roof terrace, with far-reaching views overlooking the village green and Tilgate Forest beyond.

The ground floor comprises a large double bedroom with en suite shower room, an office/snug which leads out onto the secluded rear garden, as well as a utility room with practical access through to the garage. On the first floor, the main bedroom suite features a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom, while two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. A formal living room is also located on this floor.

Every house has a garage and parking space. Fast charging units are provided for electric cars, controlled remotely via a smartphone app.

Dominic Chapman, partner at JTP explains: “This grand, elegant terrace of houses with gabled frontages was inspired by the local Edwardian architecture. We blended this with a contemporary take on modern living which draws on Scandinavian design to create airy, light-filled spaces. Placing living areas with terraces on the upper floors maximises the light and takes full advantage of the amazing views.”

Woodgate is a new community within easy reach of Crawley (three miles) and Horsham (seven miles). Home to a primary school, which opened in September 2021, future amenities will include a community hub, café and community-managed village shop. Open space will include a new village green with surrounding play areas, trails, pathways and cycle routes linking the development to the 370-acre Tilgate Forest.
