Berkeley launches show home at St Saviour House

Berkeley Homes Southern is delighted to announce the launch of the first show apartment at St Saviour House, All Saints Eastbourne, situated in the highly sought after Meads conservation area.

The stylish and contemporary two-bedroom apartment will open for public viewing on Saturday 11th October at 10am. Prices at St Saviour House start at £350,000. Viewers throughout the weekend will be able to enjoy light refreshments whilst taking in the luxurious, light-filled spaciousness of the apartment, with its balcony giving views of the nearby seafront and allowing a taste of the sea beyond.

The apartments at St Saviour House will appeal to those wanting that extra cachet of style and luxury in the popular Meads area of Eastbourne. The unrivalled location provides comfort, community and easy connection to all the wonderful facilities of Eastbourne and its surroundings.

The stunning show home beautifully demonstrates the renowned quality of a Berkeley home, with underfloor heating throughout, Villeroy & Boch bathroom and shower suites, top of the range stainless steel appliances and pre-wiring for Broadband, Sky Plus and Sky HD.

Through the front door, the oak-veneered and panelled internal doors lead to a glorious full length living room providing sitting and dining space ahead of a discreetly arranged kitchen area and two double bedrooms.

The large master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an enticing shower room, with glass-partitioned shower while the principal bathroom boasts a centre fill bath. Inset mirrored cabinets above wall-hung basins and WCs, chrome heated towel warmers, wall tiling, and underfloor heated ceramic floor tiling complete the elegant ambience in these two areas.

St Saviour House is a newly built four-storey building of 20 two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses within the established grounds of the former All Saints Hospital. A significant part of Eastbourne's Victorian heritage, the Hospital, a landmark Grade II listed building built in 1869, is finding a new lease of life thanks to award-winning Berkeley Homes. It is now the focal point for a sympathetic development and renaissance of one of Eastbourne's heritage sites that will ultimately provide 105 stunning new and refurbished apartments,

Great care has been taken to preserve the calming ambience of the former Hospital. St Saviour House is set in landscaped communal grounds, abutting parkland with mature trees, shrubbery and public walkways.

Within the former hospital grounds is All Saints Chapel, an architectural gem that will be sympathetically refurbished by Berkeley Homes to its former glory. The Chapel will play host to two events during the 5th Eastbourne Victorian Festival which is being sponsored by Berkeley Homes Southern. On Saturday 27th September at 4pm, the Festival Choir will stage a concert and on Saturday 4th October at 4.30 pm, Hilary Kay and Paul Atterbury, resident experts from the popular The Antiques Roadshow programme, will share their wit and wisdom in an event entitled, ‘Have You Had It Long, Madam?"

Eastbourne is a very attractive seaside town, with royal connections that can be traced back to 1114 when Henry I visited. The resort's reputation as the ‘Empress of Watering Places' really took off after 1780 when four children of George III chose it for the location of their summer holidays

The legacy of the classic Victorian resort includes imposing architecture, beautiful floral displays, eight miles of coastline, a five-mile promenade, pier, bandstand, boating lake and theatres.

Behind the Victorian façade lies a very modern seaside centre catering to all tastes, both young and old. Blue Flag beaches, watersports including windsurfing, kite-carting and a modern 600-berth marina are just some of the attractions that reflect the seaside focus. Ashore, ramblers, golfers, horse-riders, cyclists and keep-fit fanatics are all well provided for, as are shoppers with modern shopping centres featuring prominent national chains. Gourmets can find cosmopolitan cuisine in numerous restaurants and bars, as well as Britain's favourite, cod and chips.

All these facilities are on the doorstep of Meads, either on foot, by bus or car. By train, regular services from Eastbourne Station reach Brighton in less than thirty minutes and Hastings in approximately 30 minutes. The A27, the main link along the south coast, is less than eight miles from Eastbourne, while the A23, which is approximately 23 miles away, leads directly onto the M23. Gatwick Airport is only 43 miles away.

Prices at St Saviour House range from £350,000 for a two-bedroom apartment to £650,000 for a penthouse apartment. For more information see Allsaints-eastbourne.co.uk.
