1 bed Flat For Sale £325,000
The property: Following a 12-year restoration project, we are excited to bring you a unique opportunity to own part of what is a?Grade II listed architectural jewel. The restoration and construction into 3 luxury apartments involved a 2-year planning and consultation process, with an emphasis on retaining the historic fabric of the building and maintaining the architectural hierarchy of each floor level to ensure the building?s?long history would continue.
Background: Named in honour of the great leader and military might who took us to victory at Waterloo in 1815, Wellington Square was built that same year and is the only Georgian square in Hastings. Number?46 was built in 1815 and was interconnected with 47, both of which were constructed for use with the church, as the rectory and offices.
Restoration: Restoration has been focused on reusing the historic fabric of the building, adding to it with reclaimed materials where necessary and using refurbished architectural furniture. The construction has exceeded the requirements of Building Control in many areas, such as fire safety, soundproofing and heat insulation. Modern comforts have been discretely incorporated such as full-fibre broadband, Sky Q service, water-based underfloor heating and domestic hot water systems, both powered by electricity with App controls.
