Located within easy access of East Grinstead’s historic High Street, Newacre House comprises five interconnecting, multi-storey office blocks, which were originally constructed in the mid-1970s. As East Grinstead’s largest office building, Galliard has now transformed two of the blocks to now offer 40 and 69 apartments respectively, whilst the other three remain as commercial space. Providing studio suites and one-bedroom apartments, some with a separate study; prices start from £175,000, stylish, affordable homes ideal for life in the post-pandemic world.

Every home is available fully furnished with New Concept Furnishings, a comprehensive package including beds and sofas, soft furnishings including rugs and made-to-measure blinds, a wide range of accessories ranging from lamps and mirrors, to kitchen utensils and cleaning products. Galliard will also pay a one year service charge contribution for buyers, another helping hand for young professionals wanting their first home.

Newacre House is on Wood Street, on the edge of the town centre and less than a five minute walk from the train station, giving buyers easy access to all amenities. Reaching five storeys high, the stylish red brick façade is punctuated by an array of glazing to provide the interiors with an abundance of natural illumination. Residents also benefit from an interior designed entrance foyer and lift lobby, as well as a secure cycle store and extensive landscaped garden to enjoy alongside Block D. There is extensive parking available if buyers want to purchase spaces.

The first homes are now complete and ready to view in Block D, with the remaining accommodation in Block E to be completed in late 2022. Commercial units remain at the transformed site, which are almost fully let, housing corporate occupiers such as The Caravan Club. There are stylish one-bedroom and studio suite show apartments in the building to showcase the space and lifestyle on offer.

The high-quality specification of the homes includes fully fitted kitchens with two-tone fitted units of white and alpine wood-effect; whilst bathrooms offer spa-inspired dark tiling to the floors and walls for a zen atmosphere. For studio suites, interiors are available in stylish neutrals of either crisp white or cool grey. One-bedroom apartments boast an equally modern finish with bright and spacious living areas ranging from around 410 sq ft up to 535sq ft.

David Galman, Sales Director at Galliard Homes says: “Newacre House is an opportunity not to be missed. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while benefitting from the vast array of local amenities and superb travel connections in historic East Grinstead, residents really will be able to have it all. The apartments are finished to a superbly high standard and provide a fantastic chance for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder while living in a leafy location not too far from London. We have found the pandemic has shifted buyer priorities and for many a home with a separate study is ideal allowing them flexible space to work from home where needed, as our office culture shifts. We are proud to be bringing high quality homes, of a central London standard, to interested buyers in East Grinstead at affordable prices.”

East Grinstead is a bustling market town with a village-like feel not too far from London, where Medieval meets modern, and town meets country. The charming high street boasts numerous brand name stores and independent outlets, in addition to coffee shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants meaning there is always somewhere to stop for a quick bite to eat or relaxed dinner. The hustle and bustle of the shopping precinct sit alongside notable landmarks referencing the rich history of the area, such as St. Swithun’s Church and Standen House, with much of the town centre a conservation area rich in architectural heritage.

The area also benefits from an abundance of green spaces, granting East Grinstead the status of capital of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Residents will be able to enjoy the opportunity to walk, cycle, jog, or simply explore the beautiful surroundings using either the Forest Way or Worth Way linear country parks which link to the Sustrans National Cycle Network – just 15 minutes away from Newacre House – or 6,500-acre Ashdown Forest.

Homes at Newacre House are currently available from £175,000 for a studio suite, and from £220,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. The development benefits from the Help to Buy scheme.
