Final Chances At Landmark West Sussex Development

A last collection of six two-bedroom apartments has been released on a multi-award-winning estate in the South Downs…

Marking the final opportunity to buy a conversion apartment at Grade II*-listed King Edward VII Estate in West Sussex, City & Country has released The Heritage Collection.

Comprising an exclusive range of just six new two-bedroom apartments, these homes have been crafted within the north-west wing of the historic sanatorium and can be ideal for either full-time country living or for use as a weekend retreat.

Internally, the apartments have been designed to capitalise on natural light, with feature windows that maximise beautiful views of the courtyard and wider estate gardens. A palette of muted tones and natural materials have helped to create a sense of understated style and luxury.

A high-quality specification individually designed luxury kitchens inclusive of integrated stainless-steel Siemens appliances and stone worktops.

The Master bedrooms benefit from a luxurious en suite, with all bathrooms designed to be modern and understated featuring soft colours and quality sanitaryware from Vitra. A further double bedroom and luxurious bathroom complete the homes.

The collection also includes several properties which feature unique original spaces, ideal for use as a home office or study. These spaces, when combined with fibre optic broadband (which provides residents with access to up to 300Mb and a high-speed and reliable internet connection), are ideal for those working from home.

New residents will benefit from access to the Estate’s extensive amenities and facilities, which include a concierge, spa-style swimming pool and gym, as well as the unique communal rooms in the sanitorium building including the former Ladies’ Reading Room and Dining Hall, which provide elegant spaces for relaxing, socialising or working.

Officially opened by His Majesty King Edward VII in 1906, the Estate sits in the heart of the South Downs National Parka nd remains an outstanding example of Edwardian architecture and design. Its buildings offer a wealth of features that celebrate layout, design and decoration.

More than 110 years later, award-winning heritage developer City & Country has restored and converted the Estate, originally designed by Arts & Crafts architects Charles Holden and Percy Adams, into a wide range of high-quality new apartments. It has won numerous WhatHouse? Awards since its launch.

The nationally significant Gertrude Jekyll-designed grounds have been reinstated, as much as possible to her original plans, the beautiful gardens have now fully matured, offering acres of idyllic outside space to residents and their visitors.

Many homes feature private balconies, terraces or gardens, whilst residents also have access to the Estate’s 165-acres of private grounds and woodland, which includes terraces, pathways, hedgerows and herbaceous shrubs with a pattern of lawns and meadow, all attracting a variety of wildlife.

Located in the heart of the South Downs National Park, a dedicated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Estate is surrounded by a beautiful English landscape. Residents can take advantage of the beautiful scenery, as well as the charming surrounding towns and villages.

Cowdray Park and the quaint market town of Midhurst are only a few miles away, whilst Haslemere, just seven miles away, has a wider selection of boutique shops and independent restaurants and cafes, as well as a bakery, deli and a fishmonger. There are several excellent pubs and restaurants as well as small boutique shops, well-know high street brands and supermarkets.

Ideally positioned to enjoy the best part of England, the Este is a short distance form the A3 corridor. The location offers all the benefits of rural living with easy access to the M25 and just 45 miles from Heathrow and 39 miles to Gatwick. Commuter train links to London are excellent, with journey times of services from nearby Haslemere Station less than an hour.

Commenting on the apartments, Olivia Hutley, marketing manager at City & Country, said: “The South Downs is an incredibly beautiful part of the country, attracting more and more people looking for a permanent home instead of a weekend break. The Heritage Collection represents a rare opportunity for those who love the contemporary specifications of a new home, but also the charm and character of a period property in a fantastic setting. With six, two-bedroom apartments for sale, the exclusivity of this collection isn’t to be missed.”
