Barratt starts work in Eastbourne

Barratt Southern Counties has commenced building work on H20 a striking new art-deco style development of 74, one and two-bedroom apartments on the site of the former bus garage on Susan’s Road, Eastbourne. Prospective buyers are being advised to register their interest early.

Twenty three of the new homes will be available for affordable home ownership and, as part of the planning approval, a significant contribution has been made by Barratt to improve local resources.

In a prime location in the sought-after Meads Conservation Area and within easy walking distance of the sea front, is expected to appeal to a wide range of buyers; young professionals looking for easy modern living, downsizers and those looking for a second home.

Designed to reflect the art-deco style of the neighbouring properties, the houses will be set around a landscaped courtyard. Internally, the properties are spacious and modern with designer fitted kitchens complemented by state-of-the-art appliances.

Eastbourne is a large seaside town and a popular tourist resort with four miles of shingle beach. Sheltered to the east of Beachy Head Cliffs, Eastbourne boasts a high sunshine record and was reported in the Halifax Quality of Life Survey 2007 as the sunniest place in Great Britain.

Travelling by road, rail, sea and air couldn’t be easier; Eastbourne train station is within a short walking distance from the development and provides direct trains to Hastings, Brighton and London Victoria. By train Brighton is just half an hour away and London is accessible in approximately 90 minutes. By car Newhaven ferry port and London Gatwick Airport provide travel overseas and can be reached be excellent road networks such as the A22, A27 and M25.

“This is a great setting for a new development. The Meads Conservation area is a particularly special place in Eastbourne and it has been important to reflect the vernacular style in the design” says Trevor Sawyer, Managing Director, Barratt Southern Counties.
