Own a beautiful home with history at Hampton Grange
Situated in stunning private parkland, Bellway’s brand new development Hampton Grange is offering purchasers a unique opportunity to buy a home with history. An exclusive collection of homes in Bromley, Kent, the development demonstrates a beautiful balance of old and new, with new build apartments, luxury detached houses, and sympathetic regeneration of several Grade II listed buildings including the grand Freelands house.
The history of the Freelands Estate can be traced back as far as the 1500s. Described as ‘handsome’ , the house passed through various owners over the succeeding 300 years including merchants, a Surgeon General and Deputy Governor of The Bank. In 1878 it was left abandoned, until it was purchased by a convent ten years later, who turned it into a prestigious girls’ college which remained open until 2005.
The homes at Hampton Grange are to be launched over several phases. The first homes available to purchase are 11 unique, five bedroom detached houses and a collection of 19 luxury two-bedroom apartments and 2 three bedroom penthouses called The Academy Apartments.
Speaking about the interesting history of the development, Peter Knights, Sales Director at Bellway Homes Thames Gateway said: “Hampton Grange is a development like no other. The estate has such a long and vivid history, and this is a great opportunity for purchasers to be a part of it. The new homes are stunning, combining superb luxury with traditional style to compliment the grandeur of the beautiful Grade II listed building. We are extremely proud of what Hampton Grange is achieving, and we feel sure that prospective homeowners will get a sense of that too.”
