The external aesthetic appeal of a property has become increasingly important in homebuyers’ decisions when purchasing the perfect family home. In a survey by Barclays Mortgages, it was revealed that most house-hunters only take, on average, 10 seconds to decide whether or not they like a property simply from its external appearance.[1] Impressive design is a component that award-winning Millwood Designer Homes is synonymous with and have showcased this at their Lavender Fields development in Isfield, East Sussex. All of the homes have been crafted with the highest attention to detail, lending the appearance of a traditional English village, complementing its idyllic location.
