Botanical Place

Location and Urban Integration

Botanical Place is situated in the heart of West Byfleet, Surrey, and as such enjoys a vibrant shopping town with all your everyday amenities close to hand. The property is situated only a short walk from the local railway station with direct services about every 30 minutes to London Waterloo. The A3, M25, and M3 provide road connections to surrounding areas, so the area, which is perhaps more geared towards nearby urban lodgers, who require access both into London as well as Surrey beyond. It is also surrounded by shops, cafes, and public facilities incorporated into the daily flow of life rather than segregated into residential silos.

The concept is for an in-town redevelopment, not a bedroom community. Having ready access to a supermarket, parklands, and public places decreases reliance on private transport and enables independence well into the future. Which is why Staying with HARRIET offers a simple version of the world map that even your 7-year-old could follow; in a nutshell, everything anyone needs within the cycle of work & play and sleep & rest. This urban regeneration enhances the attractiveness of the site for later living with convenience, set in a traditional town centre.

Architectural Concept and Apartment Layouts

The 196-apartment building is organized on eight floors and is the result of a large-scale but complex residential redevelopment. Homes are set above new retail units, a public square, and community facilities, providing an active ground-floor environment. Apartment sizes are between about 60m² and 84 m² floor area, with two-bedroom unit configurations designed for space efficiency and ease of use. Balconies and roofs offer outside spaces, both for individual use as well as to share, enabling the

Systems are designed from the inside out for extended usability, not around current design fads. Passages are open and utilitarian, living areas are scaled to host moveable, interchangeable furniture. The project focuses on sustainability, delivered as a net-zero carbon development, which is an industry first for retirement housing. An extensive photo gallery depicts modern finishes, common material selection, and bright common areas that build on the residential character of the development.

Lifestyle Facilities and Market Positioning

Botanical Place functions as a managed retirement village for people over 65 with many common facilities provided in the building's price. Facilities on site include a fully equipped gym, wellness centre, cinema room, and shared spaces to encourage both activity and relaxation. The provision of shops, a library, and a central public square links the scheme to the surrounding community rather than separating residents off. This model enables lifestyle by connectivity when needed.

The apartments are on the market and priced on application, with pricing differing based on factors such as design and buyer preference. It is a fully developed property, and allows direct occupation with no construction risk. The property is distinguished by its location and is ideal for owner-occupiers looking for a secure, sustainable, and community-based living environment, not an investment to make speculative returns from. Above all, the project's form provides a private residential living environment juxtaposed with shared facilities fundamental to later life living within a town centre.
