Oakdene Homes have seen the potential for a bright, luxurious and leisurely future in historic Newhaven
Turning a derelict port into one of the most sought-after addresses on the South Coast, has sparked the regeneration of Newhaven. With the launch of new apartments overlooking the marina, its nearby beaches and the South Downs, now is the chance to make your investment in this up and coming area. An attractive coast road leads from Newhaven to Brighton only nine miles away.
The surrounding areas provide a wealth of leisure activities which include golf, walking, fishing, swimming, diving, sailing, kite surfing, football, rugby and much more. All of these can be found within a short distance from the marina.
The long maritime history of the area is clearly evident. For hundreds of years, until the First and Second World Wars, Newhaven had been a prosperous fishing port. Steeped in maritime history the port provided quick, easy access to Dieppe and the town continued to flourish with the navy based there. Newhaven still has a large fishing fleet and the Transmanche ferry link to France has daily runs to both Le Havre and Dieppe.
Newhaven has a small sandy beach, the only one between Worthing and Hastings and added attractions also include a historic Napoleonic fort. The marina itself is expanding and currently has berthing for some 300 vessels. Newhaven is now moving into the next stage of regeneration and is set to become one of the best leisure and recreational towns on the south coast.
As an aside, Lord Lucan’s car was found abandoned at Newhaven marina when he disappeared in 1974, causing speculation that he had sailed into the sunset never to return.
For many years much of the area has been neglected. However, Oakdene realised the potential of the town and over the next four years, with a £150 million construction scheme, will regenerate both the marina and Railway Quay to include luxury apartments, restaurants, bars, and other leisure facilities.
Oakdene’s Cape Grace offers the latest luxury one and two bedroom apartments situated on the water’s edge with magnificent views.
Oakdene Homes prides itself on a high level of specification being offered to each individual property with every apartment finished to an extremely high standard. Fully fitted kitchens by Paula Rosa include built-in double ovens with microwave, integrated fridge/freezers, washer dryers and dishwashers, all provided as standard. Ceramic flooring in kitchen and bathroom areas are supplied by Porcelanosa from their latest range.
In addition, all two bedroom apartments have en-suite facilities and built in wardrobes.
The development will eventually integrate a mixture of both listed and new buildings that will fully compliment each other. Carl Turpin, Chief Executive explained: "The interest regarding this development has been fantastic and the regeneration has been welcomed by all sections of the community."
Prices at The Cape currently start at £195,000 for a one bedroom apartment.
The marketing suite and show home is open seven days a week from 10am until 5pm. To find out more, call the sales team on 0800 032 9651 or log on to www.oakdenehomes.co.uk
