The proud home of our development @sanderlingreach in Mersea Island, Essex is simply breathtaking, as evidenced in this snapshot of the sunset at the Mersea seafront, taken by local photographer @joshlondon_photography Image credit 📸: @joshlondon_photography

Sean Rose and his wife Coleen recently traded in two homes for one at our beautiful development, the @kingedwardviiestate in Midhurst. What attracted them to a new home here? One of the biggest factors was its blend of history and contemporary quality, as explained by Coleen: “We were drawn to the large windows, period features and especially the balconies that came with properties in the historic sanatorium. We loved the period features but were equally impressed with the modernity and high quality of finish, not just in the kitchen, but throughout the apartment. It was great to have contemporary appliances within the historic building”.

In 1873, the northern block of @thegeneralbristol was extended and in 1886 a new nurses’ home was constructed, before being extended again in 1907. Much of the work across this development contains the handprints of notable architects, including: - W.B Gingell, a local architect renowned for his elegant warehouses and churches - Henry Crisp, another Bristolian - Sir George Herbert Oatley, Bristol’s most renowned architect

In honour of #NationalHedgehogDay, we’re remembering back to last December when we were treated to a visit by @essexwildlifetrust, who helped us implement three new hedgehog boxes in the grounds of our development @stosythpriory in Essex.

At @burderoppark in Wiltshire, there’s an abundance of outdoor space right on the doorstep. And the heart of it is the new residents’ green, for you and your loved ones to explore and enjoy every day.

With many of our developments going back centuries, we’ll take any excuse to share from our collection of historic images. Here’s one from @themansionsundridgepark in South East London, specifically Sundridge House and its grounds, circa 1790s. The architect behind the mansion was John Nash, whilst the landscaping was designed by Humphry Repton.

Here’s our December highlights from across the sites! #heritagedeveloper #heritageliving #historichomes #historicliving #merseaisland #midhurst #tooting #edinburgh #wiltshire #bristol #stosyth #sundridge

From the high ceilings and restored stately windows to the elegant flooring and charming pendant lighting, every element of the open-plan living areas at @the1840stgeorgesgardens in South West London work hand in hand to create a space that embodies luxury.

At @stosythpriory in Essex, residents have all kinds of neighbours, with various animals roaming the fully working estate’s glorious parkland, including native livestock and rare breeds.

Whilst every City & Country development is different, they all undergo the same design process. By conserving or redefining their original period features in our restoration properties, we’re able to beautifully preserve their architectural heritage, combined with the modern conveniences of today, to create homes of the utmost quality.
