Buying into a Community: 3 properties available at the Community Project

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:38:00 +0000

Buying into one of the UK's few co-housing communities means life may never be the same again...

Ten years after the start of the Community Project, several families are moving on. This is because the children have grown up and are leaving for college and want the buzz of town life and others need to downsize. Consequently there are 3 homes for sale:

No 8A: 3 bedroom flat at £295,000

No 8: 4 bedroom maisonette at £350,000

No 9: 4 bedroom house at £475,000

For details and photos of each home please follow the links above or look in the marketplace section.

After living for almost 12 years at Laughton Lodge we are moving as the needs of our family have changed. We are only moving down the road in Lewes and will become loyal members of the Friends of Laughton Lodge. We and our dog will sadly miss our Saturday morning walks to the village shop, where you can buy a paper, vegetables, fruit, bread and organic meat. You can also have lunch in the pub or buy stamps at the post office. The local milk farm delivers their milk right to our door. We also receive a vegetable box with locally grown produce.

Laughton Lodge is a non-ideological community but we share a wish to raise our children in a non consumerist way and natural environment. We offer our great family home, south facing with great views and part of a co-housing community in the village of Laughton in the heart of the South Downs.

The local area offers good primary and secondary schools. Our daughter has just past her GCSE with outstanding results. Lewes offers sixth form. Coming from London originally this has been a successful move .There are no entrance exams as the local primary schools automatically feeds into the secondary school. Sport,dance and art clubs are near by and around the corner is a tennis centre. After school care is available by the Mohair Centre or activities at the school.
