Nestled among open countryside and tranquil lakes, Hawthorn Grove offers a blend of rural tranquillity and urban connectivity for a range of 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom homes.
The development represents a sensitive yet forward-thinking architectural, civil, and structural response to the evolving character of North Mundham.
Designing with Context and Character
The development is rooted in a detailed understanding of the local built form and surrounding landscape. Rather than replicating the past, the project is designed to express a clear evolution of the village, the contemporary vernacular complements, rather than mimics, North Mundham’s existing charm.

The Blueprint
Through a balanced blend of traditional influences and contemporary design thinking, North Mundham presents a blueprint for how well-designed architecture and engineering can enhance local identity and create places people are proud to call home.
Engineering a Connected, Sustainable Community
From a civil and structural engineering perspective, the scheme is underpinned by a strong commitment to sustainable infrastructure, site-sensitive drainage, and walkable neighbourhood design. The layout has been carefully developed to integrate with existing footpath networks and green infrastructure, creating a seamless extension of the village.
Flood resilience and drainage design respond to the local topography and soil characteristics, incorporating SuDS and landscape-led attenuation features.
High-quality road layouts and pedestrian-friendly links ensure the development is well-connected to both the core of North Mundham and neighbouring amenities in Hunston and Chichester.
Green buffers and visual corridors maintain ecological continuity, while supporting both biodiversity and recreational use.
