"The Audley – it represents the pinnacle of modern family living...

Laura Hackney, Partner at Knight Frank and Head of Home Counties New Homes said; "This gold award recognition reinforces what we've known since first marketing The Audley – it represents the pinnacle of modern family living. The property's blend of contemporary architecture with practical living spaces has resonated strongly with discerning buyers seeking a premium family home.
The appeal for families extends beyond the exceptional design of The Audley. Moving into a brand-new home eliminates the stress of renovations and upgrades, while the proximity to some of Surrey's finest schools makes this an ideal location for families at all stages of their educational journey. We're seeing strong interest from local and London families attracted by the combination of contemporary living, educational excellence, and the charm of village life."
The judges were particularly impressed by the careful consideration given to the property's energy efficiency, highlighting its air-source heat pump, underfloor heating, and EV charging point. They praised The Audley as "a great house packed with thoughtful details."
The contemporary timber style clad property features three floors of meticulously planned accommodation. The impressive interior includes a triple-height entrance hall flooded with natural daylight, light oak chevron floors, and versatile living spaces that flow seamlessly into one another. The kitchen/dining room opens onto an external terrace, while additional features include a separate home office above the double garage, a master suite with a generous dressing area, and flexible spaces that can be adapted to families' changing needs.
Sean Quinn, Managing Director at Q Developments, said: "We are immensely proud of this recognition. The Audley embodies our commitment to creating homes that not only look exceptional but function brilliantly for modern families. This award validates our approach to combining innovative design with practical, sustainable living solutions."
This prestigious award affirms Alfold Gardens' position as one of Surrey's most desirable new developments, with The Audley setting a new standard for contemporary family homes in the region.
