Regally Regency
These two Grade 2 listed Regency townhouses on a garden square in Hastings have been painstakingly converted into seven unique apartments, each bursting with beautifully restored original character.
High-quality contemporary fittings rub shoulders with glorious heritage, not to mention sumptuous communal areas that feel like you’ve entered a private members club. And five in the collection are one-bedroom apartments that would make a wonderful first step onto the property ladder.
Wellington Square leads directly off the High Street, and every apartment is within sight of the sea across carefully tended lawns and horticulture. All of Hastings is on your doorstep, with a vibrant artistic community and creative independent businesses

Vamped up Victoriana
As well as the horizon filling the view from the living room of this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment, natural light pours in through its plentiful windows up on the third floor. And as a weekend retreat, full-home home or a buy-to-let investment, its stylish refurbishment is hard to resist.
Built for fashionable visitors around 1900 when Bexhill became a hit among trendsetting Victorians, Newdigate House sits directly opposite the seafront less than 500 metres from the town’s destination landmark: the astonishing art deco masterpiece that is the De La Warr Pavilion.
And there lies an interesting parallel. The design of Newdigate House is effectively the template for the 1930s mansion blocks that are some of today’s most sought-after addresses, thus pioneering an enduring, timeless and enjoyable home lifestyle.

Grand scale
On the edge of a seafront nature reserve, this newly converted manor house is the setting for a sensational collection of apartments about a mile along the promenade from the centre of Ramsgate (now just 75 minutes from St Pancras by high-speed train).
Meticulous restoration is paired with exceptional materials and stunning contemporary finishes to create a series of unique homes that are modern, grand and spacious, including this oversized one-bedroom first-floor apartment of more than 700 sq ft.
Perfect as a full-time home or weekend getaway, Courtstairs Manor is the perfect place to enjoy not only wild nature, beach culture and the sound of the sea, but also a thriving social, dining and creative scene in the delightful lanes around Ramsgate’s royal harbour.

A plot to hatch
A surefire way of having a unique home that’s truly an expression of who you are and what you love, is to build your own. But sourcing the land, finding an architect and navigating the planning process can be a bit of a turn-off. So what if all that was out of the way?
Designed by eco-homes maestro Dr Jerry Harrall, this earth-sheltered single-storey home has been conceived as one of the most energy-efficient in the UK. And if you so wish, you can have the designing architect holding your hand all the way through the project.
Build costs are estimated at about £350,000 on top of the land price, with an expected resale value of £700,000-£750,000 when complete. So as well as basking in energy-efficient and modernist glory, you can move in with substantial instant equity.
