Nine new homes at a redeveloped 18th-century dairy farm have been unveiled.

The houses, at Hove Dairy in The Droveway, were revealed at a launch event on Saturday.

Oakley Property, estate agents representing the development, said more than 100 people came to the event.

It said the new homes “combine rich history with contemporary living”.

“The response from people at the launch event has been incredibly positive, which speaks to the exceptional character of Hove Dairy,” said James Epps, director of new homes at Oakley Property.

“We’re proud to showcase a development that perfectly blends tradition and modernity in such an iconic setting. Each home has been meticulously designed to maximise the space and offer both sophistication and comfort.”

Hove Dairy reimagines the former 18th-century dairy farm, Oakley said, with an elegant balance between the preservation of heritage and the integration of modern architecture.

The nine homes are phase one of the development called Hills Barn and have two or three bedrooms each.

There are also five new commercial units which are being marketed by Oakley too.
