With the next stage of Bexhill-on-Sea’s regeneration ready to roll, now is the opportunity for homebuyers to invest in a bright new future.
Leading developer Laing Homes is offering a choice of two and three-bedroom apartments at its sought-after Egerton Place development within the South Coast town – and the designs are being snapped up fast by those already aware that they can get a great deal more for their money today.
Over the next few years new leisure and cultural facilities will be created on the seafront and enhancements will be made to the town centre, bringing with it new opportunities for tourism, jobs and higher earnings.
“With all this on the horizon, property prices should increase hand-in-hand with the regeneration, making homes in Bexhill-on-Sea a great long-term investment,” explains Kate Gordon, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Laing Homes.
The first phase of regeneration saw the re-opening of the iconic De La Warr Pavilion in 2005, which has become a centre for contemporary art in the town and attracts visitors from across the UK.
The ‘Next Wave’, as it is known, is due to start next year and plans to spend a further £5m on projects to enhance the seafront and town centre, including the refurbishment of the Grade II listed Colonnade building, attractive landscaping, new public open spaces and improved pedestrian access.
Adds Kate: “Our homes at Egerton Place are only a short distance from the seafront and town centre areas of regeneration, and as Bexhill puts itself firmly on the map as a superb British ‘Staycation’ resort, we can expect property prices in this area to rise.
“By purchasing an apartment now – either as a home or a buy-to-let investment – customers can secure their place at today’s prices before the upward effects of the regeneration begin to kick-in.”
Two-bedroom apartments at Egerton Place are priced from £149,995 and are currently available in ground floor or upper floor designs.
Just one example of the homes available features a light and airy living/dining room with selected homes boasting an attractive bay window or Juliet-style balcony to the front.
Each apartment has a contemporary fitted kitchen which includes a built-in oven hob and hood, a main bathroom off the private internal entrance hallway, and benefit from an en-suite to the master bedroom.
The final three-bedroom apartment at the development is priced only £174,995 with stamp duty, flooring and furniture included – an immediate saving worth thousands of pounds to the lucky buyer.
The town of Bexhill-on-Sea retains the charm of an unspoilt Victorian seaside resort, boasting award-winning sandy beaches, a wide promenade and the 1930s De La Warr pavilion.
Bexhill Mall and the Regency Arcade are home to just some of the wonderful shops, with traditional greengrocers, delicatessens, bookshops, clothing and homeware stores standing side-by-side in the compact town centre and putting everything for day-to-day living within easy reach of home.
Modern leisure facilities are also close at hand, including an indoor pool, 10-pin bowling, tennis courts, sailing and a choice of golf courses, while culture is rich and plentiful, with theatres, a cinema and live music for all tastes.
The area is well-served by local doctor’s surgeries and dentists and Bexhill Hospital is just over half a mile from home.
For travel, Bexhill Railway Station is just across the road from Egerton Place, providing regular train services to Brighton, Eastbourne, Ashford International and London. The Channel Tunnel, ferry ports and Gatwick Airport are all about an hour away by road.
