Sitting within the picturesque South Downs National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in West Sussex, the King Edward VII Estate is taking an exciting step forward as it breaks ground on its next phase. The development features outstanding homes, surrounded by 165 acres of unspoilt private grounds, Gertrude Jekyll designed gardens and woodland, just under an hour from London.
These exceptional new State Apartment properties will offer new residents the chance to invest in state-of-the-art, design-led homes, with all the trappings of modern convenience, including triple glazed windows, integrated Siemens appliances, with an upgrade option, matt flat panel kitchens as standard and lavish bathrooms with Villeroy & Bosh sanitaryware. All homes will also benefit from allocated parking, with selected properties also enjoying electric charging points.
Originally constructed between 1901 and 1906, the King Edward VII development main building, originally known as ‘The King’s Sanatorium’ was built in response to King Edward VII’s visit to a tuberculosis sanatorium while touring Germany, after which he instructed the construction of a British version in the heart of rural West Sussex.
The original Sanatorium site, which officially opened on 13th June 1906, was chosen as a place for rest, relaxation and recovery for those suffering with debilitating diseases, perfectly situated on a bright, south-facing hillside with open views to Sussex’s South Downs.
Following the eradication of tuberculosis, the sanatorium was transformed into a modern hospital, caring for all types of illnesses, eventually closing its doors in 2006. In 2009, City & Country acquired the Estate, with the aim to meticulously return it to its former glory.
