West Byfleet, Surrey KT14 6NG – Surrey
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.

An extensive photo gallery depicts modern finishes, common material selection, and bright common areas that build on the residential character of the development.
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.

Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
