Sigma Homes completes construction of Merrywood development in Thames Ditton

West Sussex-based Sigma Homes has completed construction of its Merrywood development in the highly desirable Surrey village of Thames Ditton. The £18 million scheme has been exceptionally well-received, with just four apartments now available.

Sigma Homes began construction of the 1.2-acre brownfield site in spring 2023. Located off Weston Green, Merrywood delivers a collection of 26 contemporary, energy-efficient homes. The mix includes 12 three-bedroom semi-detached houses and 14 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, each designed with modern comfort and sustainability in mind.

Eight of the apartments have been designated for keyworker almshouses in partnership with a historic local charitable foundation, Walton Charity. Designed specifically for health workers, educators, and essential service providers, the homes offer long-term, affordable living in a sought-after area where keyworkers are often priced out of the market.

Geoff Potton, Chief Executive at Sigma Homes, commented: “Completing Merrywood is a proud achievement for our team and a testament to the care and attention that goes into every Sigma development. From the outset, our goal was to create homes that complement Thames Ditton’s village character while offering the efficiency, comfort and specification of a modern Sigma home.”

“We are especially proud to have worked with Walton Charity to deliver new almshouse accommodation for keyworkers. This partnership has helped us provide lasting, meaningful housing in a community where essential workers play such an important role.”

All homes at Merrywood feature a high specification throughout, including bespoke kitchens with integrated Neff appliances, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, and elegant finishes throughout. The development also incorporates sustainable technologies such as high-performance insulation, energy-efficient heating systems, and electric vehicle charging points.The development’s location places residents within walking distance of Weston Green village, with its independent shops, cafés, and local services, as well as fast rail links to London Waterloo in approximately 30 minutes, or to the coast in Brighton. Hampton Court Palace and Bushey Park are nearby, with beautiful parkland and riverside walks.

The four available apartments at Merrywood include a choice of two and three-bedroom layouts, all ready to move into. Each benefits from secure parking with communal EV charging points and access to landscaped gardens. Tailor-made incentives are available on selected plots with prices from £550,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.
